U.S. President Barack Obama announces his nomination of Janet Yellen to head the Federal Reserve at the White House in Washington October 9, 2013. If confirmed, Yellen will run the world's most influential central bank, providing some relief to markets that would expect her to tread carefully in winding down economic stimulus. The nomination puts Yellen on course to be the first woman to lead the institution in its 100-year history. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque (UNITED STATES - Tags: POLITICS BUSINESS)
