US PPI inflation report for March was released today at 1:30 pm BST. Report was expected to show an acceleration in the headline as well as core producers' inflation. However, as we have already received CPI data for March, PPI report was expected to have little impact on the markets.
Actual report turned out to be mixed - headline inflation accelerated less than expected while core inflation accelerated more than expected. A miss in headline inflation seems to be outweighting a beat in core measure, with US dollar moving lower following the release.
