Fed's Lockhart says risks of delaying rate hike not significant

ATLANTA (Reuters) - Atlanta Federal Reserve President Dennis Lockhart said on Monday the risks of the Fed waiting to raise interest rates were not significant, another reason he felt it wise to delay a hike until it was clear that global economic uncertainty would not hurt the U.S. economy.

"I don't think those risks are significant," Lockhart said.
