The dollar is gaining after today's CPI report and is currently the strongest currency among the G10 currencies. The Dollar Index (USDIDX) gains over 0.70% and breaks above key levels.
The high inflation reading could be a catalyst for short-term USD appreciation. However, the reaction is likely to be limited until the next labor market reports in two weeks and the next month's CPI report. Markets may also quickly shift their attention from higher inflation readings back to the stock markets, due to the upcoming Nvidia report next week, which could reignite emotions around tech companies.
