Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer gave a speech on April 19, 2017 arguing that the Fed's accommodative policy during and after the financial crisis probably raised foreign GDP overall. He discussed how U.S. policy spills over to trading partners through exchange rates, domestic demand and global financial conditions, and how foreign economies have responded to ongoing normalization of rates.
Fed policy normalization affects the dollar and global financial conditions, which feed into currency-sensitive commodity prices. The speech is general policy commentary with no new decision, so its direct price impact on feed markets is limited.
