WASHINGTON, March 23 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary
Janet Yellen said on Thursday that supply chain pressures and
shipping costs were coming down and were eventually likely to
bring down inflation.
She also said a debt default would undermine the U.S.
dollar's reserve currency status and that a failure to raise the
debt ceiling would lead to a recession or worse.
Yellen made the remarks in a U.S. House of Representatives
Appropriations subcommittee hearing.
