FOREX-Dollar gains vs euro as Fed leaves rates unchanged

The euro EUR= slipped against the dollar to $1.4090, from 1.4145 before the announcement.

Against the yen JPY=, the dollar was last at 104.67, from 105.05 prior to the Fed's decision. (Reporting by Nick Olivari; Editing by Theodore d'Afflisio)
