Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher said on Friday there were signs that liquidity was not just abundant, but excessive in the United States.

"Today we have abundant liquidity and the cost of money is zero."

Fisher is regarded by economists as one of the most hawkish policymakers at the U.S. central bank.
