In a speech overnight in Sweden, Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said that the global recovery was disappointing. U.S. stock futures were higher after his speech as it suggested interest rates would stay low for long time. Fischer discussed Larry Summers’s view that the U.S. economy might be stuck in a period of secular stagnation with a savings glut, weak demand, and ultra-low interest rates. |
