“Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Janet Yellen said the central bank may hold the benchmark lending rate near zero even if unemployment and inflation hit its near-term policy targets.

Yellen’s comments reflect the view of some policy makers that there is a risk of damaging the expansion by raising rates too early.”
