WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said on Thursday that she does not see any impact from mass shootings or recent attacks around the world on the U.S. economy, but added they could have a knock-on effect in the future.
"It does have the potential to have a significant economic effect," she told a committee of lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
The Fed watches such geopolitical risks very carefully, Yellen said.
