Euro extends losses, hits 6-week low vs dollar

SINGAPORE: The euro hit a six-week low against the dollar on Thursday, a day after minutes of the Federal Reserve's last policy meeting showed some policymakers thought the Fed may have to slow or stop buying bonds before seeing a pick-up in employment.

The euro fell to as low as $1.3255 on trading platform EBS, its lowest level since Jan. 11. The single currency last stood at $1.3261, down 0.2 percent from late US trade on Wednesday.
