Mid-Day Report: Dollar Dives as Core CPI Moderated in February

Dollar drops sharply in early US session after inflation data showed moderation in core inflation reading. Headline CPI was unchanged at 2.9% yoy in February while core CPI dropped to 2.2% yoy. Both were inline with expectation. There were talks this week that markets' focuses are shifting from QE3 to timing of removal of policy accommodation. Indeed, it's reported that the forwards markets for overnight index swaps were pricing in Fed's first rate hike in late 2013, a year ahead of Fed's pledge to keep rates low till end of 2014. But the CPI data suggests that Fed will more likely maintain the stimulus as it committed. Other data from US saw industrial production rose 0.0% in February. U of Michigan consumer sentiment dropped to 74.3 in March.
