Fundamental Overview:
Data released on Thursday showed the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for October declined to 7.7% YoY, the lowest since last March, versus 8.0% expected and 8.2% prior.
More importantly, the Core CPI fell to 6.3% compared to 6.5% market forecasts and 6.6% previous readings.
Fall in October inflation numbers have raised the scope for an easy Fed rate hike in December, depressing the dollar across the board.
The safe-haven US Dollar resumes its post-CPI downside as risk flows continue to dominate the financial markets ahead of the weekend.
Sunday’s meeting between US President Joe Biden and Japan’s Prime Minister (PM) Fumio Kishida will be watched for further impetus.
