Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen said late Thursday that key parts of the 2010 Dodd-Frank law — including higher capital requirements and enhanced supervision for big banks — should not be scrapped, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

On Thursday, Yellen also said the U.S. economy faces no serious short-term obstacles, according to a Bloomberg report.
