Investors expect her to provide guidance on the Fed's next rate hike. The Federal Reserve has remained on hold so far this year after raising interest rates for the first time in recent years last month.
Later on Wednesday, the federal funds rate futures market projected a 10% chance of a rate hike at next month's policy meeting, and about a 30% chance of a monthly rate hike, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve's tool. Analysts said any hint of a possible rate hike this month would push the dollar sharply higher.
