The US dollar dipped today on speculations that the Federal Reserve will not reduce stimulus as the recent fundamental data was not good enough to warrant tighter policy.
The Fed started its two-day meeting today. Analysts do not expect the US central bank to change its monetary policy, but wording of the decision may influence the Forex market strongly.
