US monthly data pack for February, including PCE inflation data, was released today at 12:30 pm GMT. Report was expected to show no change in headline as well as core PCE on an annual basis.
Actual data turned out to be mostly in-line with expectations. However, headline PCE acelerated unexpectedly. Personal income data missed expectations while personal spending data beat expectations. A beat in headline PCE seems to be driving market reaction as response can be seen as dovish. USD dropped, pushing EURUSD to retest daily highs.
