Key Event Calendar:

The dollar slipped to a 12-week low on Thursday and stock and bonds markets both showed caution after the U.S. Federal Reserve stuck to its mildly upbeat view of the world but gave no hint on when it will next raise interest rates. With all the political uncertainties about, the big central banks appear to be lying low – or at least trying not to add to the volatility. The Fed decision and statement was a non-event, with the lack of any nod toward a possible further rate rise next month – not least because the latest U.S. economic numbers have been so strong. It sent the dollar to its lowest level since mid-November against a six-strong group of other top world currencies, to add to January's worst start to a year in three decades.
