EUR/USD little changed after US CPI
EUR/USD remained steady and barely reacted to the latest string of US data, which showed consumer inflation came in slightly below expectations while initial jobless claims dropped further last week.
US consumer price index rose by 0.1% in March, missing expectations of a 0.2% increase, while excluding food and energy, the so-called core, grew 0.1% as well. On annual basis, CPI rose 0.9% (1.2% expected) and the core 2.2% (2.3% expected). Separated data showed, initial jobless claims fell by 14K to 253K in the week ended Apr 8.
EUR/USD moved only marginally to the upside and it was last trading at 1.1263, still 0.08% below its opening price.
