She points to slowing growth in the core inflation rate as indicating that price hikes are moderating. Still, in this geopolitical climate, "we can't rule out further shocks."
While Treasury Secretary Yellen expects businesses to back the push for a global minimum tax, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce worries some still-ambiguous elements may disadvantage U.S. businesses.
The Fed seems to be rethinking whether inflation is "transitory." This may also suggest sooner-than-expected interest rate increases are in the works next year.
Secretary Yellen says that next month the U.S. Treasury Department will probably exhaust its options for avoiding payments default, unless the debt ceiling is increased or removed.
"Episodes of market dysfunction are not only likely to continue but to occur with increasing frequency" unless market-making capacity for Treasuries trading is increased or the U.S. halts the rapid build-up of its debt outstanding.
Disinterest in reopening communication channels active under President Obama indicates a continuing deterioration in ties between the world's two biggest economies.
