Strong dollar, low oil remain net positives - Fed's Fisher
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Short-term currency moves should not drive the Federal Reserve's policy decisions and, for now, the strong dollar and low global oil prices are a net positive for the U.S. economy, Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher said on Wednesday.
Fisher, a hawkish policymaker at the U.S. central bank, told the New York Economic Club that he has yet to speak to a retailer or other business owner who is not happy about the rising dollar and cheaper energy prices.
