Fed's Fischer: Depreciating dollar 'is of some help' to U.S. economy

Fed's Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer is hitting the wires, via Reuters, arguing that the depreciating dollar is helping the U.S. economy.

  • Seeing positive changes through much of world economy
  • Two more rate hikes in 2017 still seems appropriate
  • Bond portfolio run-off will have effect on economy
  • France exit from EU 'would be a very big thing'
  • We would not take trump's statement on dollar into account in making policy
  • Asked about dodd-frank rollback plans, warns we seem to have forgotten about financial crisis
  • Very dangerous to remove key protections enacted in wake of financial crisis
