Flash CPI report from Spain for March was released at 8:00 am BST today. Report was expected to show a huge year-over-year deceleration, from 6.0 to 3.8% YoY. However, this was mostly due to base effects in energy. On a month-over-month basis expectations were for 0.6% MoM increase. Actual report showed an even bigger slowdown in annual data with headline CPI dropping from 6.0 to 3.3% YoY. Spanish CPI increased 0.4% MoM in March.

EURUSD took a hit following the release but scale of the move was rather small. European equity markets dipped in a knee-jerk move but those losses were quickly recovered and DE30 is trading higher now. However, reaction on equity market may have been distorted by opening of the European cash session.
