The US dollar remains strong while equities remain in negative territory amidst flight-to-quality as Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher said during an interview with Bloomberg Television that the US economy may not experience any sort of growth through 2009. Mr. Fisher, who was once one of the most hawkish members of the FOMC, said that September's inflation reports showed that price pressures "screeched to a halt" and that he is not worried about reigniting inflation, suggesting that he is comfortable leaving rates at low levels. However, Mr. Fisher also indicated that the Fed is nearing a point at which they will not be able to do anything else from a monetary policy standpoint in an attempt to revive growth and ease credit pressures, as he said that he sees a "significant role" for fiscal policy.
