"Powell understands that tapering will happen, but it's not going to happen sooner than later. He's going to make sure that full employment comes back before taking those steps."

"Even though a lot of the other Fed presidents have come out and said 'we're going to do this sooner rather than later, prudent Powell is going to make sure that the economy really is healed. You don't want to make people carsick when you're driving an economy."

JOHN DOYLE, VICE PRESIDENT OF DEALING AND TRADING, TEMPUS INC., WASHINGTON

"It appears the speech was a bit more dovish than some had expected."

"Powell said that tapering could be appropriate "this year." Except we already knew that. Minutes from the last Fed meeting showed that "most" participants favored tapering this year. Powell did not indicate tapering would being next month as some expected, hence the "dovish" label."

"If easing stays in place longer, that is good for stocks and bad for the dollar so the market moves all make sense so far." (Reporting by Reuters markets team)
