In an editorial published in the Wall Street Journal, Yellen points out that the United States has always raised the debt ceiling before exceeding its limit
"I was pleased with their decision to delay introduction of this," Yellen said.
"We're in the middle of trying to finalize an agreement. Countries have agreed to repeal, with Pillar 1, existing measures, and to avoid introducing future digital taxes that would be discriminatory."
"We need sustainable sources of revenue that do not rely on further taxing workers' wages and exacerbating the economic disparities that we are all committed to reducing," Yellen said.
"We need to put an end to corporations shifting capital income to low tax jurisdictions, and to accounting gimmicks that allow them to avoid paying their fair share."
"We expect the cost of federal debt payments will remain well below historical levels through the coming decade. We have a window to invest in ourselves."
Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, Seoul and Jakarta were also up, though there were small losses in Manila after a more than five percent surge Thursday.
