U.S. dollar depreciation orderly so far: Fed's Fisher
Reuters ^ | 11/10/09

Posted on 11/11/2009 5:42:00 PM PST by FromLori

The U.S. dollar has so far had an orderly depreciation, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President Richard Fisher said on Tuesday.

"Thus far the dollar has not been in a disorderly depreciation," Fisher told reporters, when asked about the carry trade.

In a speech earlier, Fisher warned that the Federal Open Market Committee would craft an appropriate response if the carry trade proved disruptive to currencies and securities.

He said he was aware of risks the FOMC ran of fuelling the trade by stating the Fed would hold its funds rate at exceptionally low levels for an extended period.

BS.

The Fed has never had a clue about responding appropriately.

Plus, with the New Bambi World Order, they’re beholden.

This will not end well.

The depreciation has been going on in an orderly fashion since 2001. That's why gold has gone from $258 to $1100.

If the depreciation becomes disorderly, there is a technical expression for that. The word is "panic".

The fed has gone freaking insane.

Talk about killing off old people, what do people on fixed incomes do when they cannot afford to live.

If they die it will help them make their socialized health care a success I suppose.

What we need is a strong Dollar not a weak one and Interest rates have to rise.
