O'Neill initially declined to comment on foreign exchange issues when asked about Bank of Japan intervention to stem the yen's advance.
"Yes, we have a strong-dollar policy. There is no change of dollar policy. We don't have an intention of changing the dollar policy -- because if I don't say it, you will interpret something different," O'Neill said.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Are other things besides oil and gold sold globally, priced in US dollars?
