Fed’s Fisher wants October end to QE


REUTERS: Richard Fisher, one of the Federal Reserve's most ardent policy hawks, said on Tuesday he would favour ending the US central bank's massive bond-buying programme in October, but said he does not expect the Fed to start raising interest rates until next year.

"The odds are slim" of a rate rise immediately after the bond-buying program is ended, Fisher, president of the Dallas Federal Reserve, told Reuters in a telephone interview.
