Fundamental Overview:
US dollar struggles to cheer firmer inflation numbers as stubborn U.S. inflation stokes worries on rates, growth
US annual Consumer Price Index printed at 8.3%, higher than the 8.1% anticipated.
The monthly figure was up 0.3% against the 0.2% expected. On an annual basis core CPI hit 6.2%, slightly below the previous 6.5%, but above the 6% expected.
Focus now on monthly prints of the US Producer Price Index (PPI) for April, expected 10.7% YoY versus 11.2% prior.
An upbeat factory-gate inflation will portray the increasing price pressures adding to the hawkish Fed chatters, thereby buoying USD to renew multi-year highs.
