Fisher Investments’ Founder, Ken Fisher, Debunks: “A Strong Dollar Is Super”

In this video, Ken Fisher argues against the idea that a strong dollar is good for the stock market. He says developed-market currency strength or weakness does not predict stock market performance, citing a century of data, and adds that dramatic currency swings affecting local stocks are more a feature of less-developed economies.

1. Fisher says a strong dollar is not inherently good for stocks.
2. He argues developed-country currency strength or weakness does not predict stock market performance.
3. Using a century of data, he concludes stocks rise or fall roughly the same amount of time whether the dollar is strong or weak.
4. He says dramatic currency swings can affect local stock markets in less-developed nations, but this is not really the case in more developed economies.
