Norges Bank sets rates, US jobless claims
US retailers report earnings

Post-FOMC risk-off moods remain on the markets and European indices are set for a lower opening of today's cash session. DAX futures (DE30) flirt with 15,800 pts handle while S&P 500 futures (US500) trade at 2-week lows. USD trades higher against all other major currencies.
