Trump's win affected some Fed voters' calculations, Fed Chair Yellen says

(RECAP: Donald Trump’s plans to grow the economy through a surge in public spending figured into Federal Reserve officials’ expectations for three rate hikes next year, central bank Chair Janet Yellen said Wednesday. The Fed approved its second rate hike in a decade Wednesday and delivered a slight shock to the market with projections that there could be three more moves in 2017, as opposed to previous indications of just two. Questioned whether the president-elect’s proposals influenced the choice, Yellen said there was some discussion in that respect.)
