US PPI inflation report for February was released today at 12:30 pm GMT. The report was of second-importance, as the more important CPI data was already released on Tuesday. Report was expected to show an acceleration in headline producers' price growth and a small slowdown in core price growth.
However, actual report turned out to be a hawkish surprise - headline inflation accelerated more than expected while core inflation stayed unchanged at 2.00%. USD gained following the release. It looks like higher-than-expected PPI data outweighted a weaker-than-expected retail sales print that was released at the same time.
