More from Yellen: Don't think recession is the most likely path, but can't rule one out

Earlier:

More from her interview with CNBC, this time on tightening credit and its impacts upon the economy:

  • There has been ongoing tightening of lending conditions
  • Fed is aware that tightening of credit conditions is something that will slow economy, taking that into account
  • Some of the heat is coming out of the labor market
  • I believe there is a path to bring inflation down in context of continued strong labor market, but of course there are risks
  • Can't rule out a recession, but don't think that's the most likely path
Yellen - deer in deflationary headlights
