US CPI inflation data for April, a key macro release of the day, was published at 1:30 pm BST today. Report was expected to show deceleration in core gauge to resume with annual core CPI inflation dropping from 5.6 to 5.5% YoY. Actual data has confirmed those expectations with monthly and annual core CPI coming in-line with expectations. However, annual headline CPI was expected to stay unchanged at 5.0% YoY in April but instead it dropped to 4.9% YoY. As it can be seen as a dovish development - it was enough to provide Wall Street index futures with a lift while pushing USD lower at the same time.
