The positive impact of the September US inflation report's on the greenback seems to be weighing on EUR/USD in the early American session.
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Wednesday that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose to 5.4% on a yearly basis from 5.3% in August. This reading came in slightly higher than the market consensus of 5.3%. Moreover, the annual Core CPI stayed unchanged at 4% as expected.
At the moment, the US Dollar Index, which touched a session low of 94.24, is down only 0.1% on the day at 94.42. Later in the session, the FOMC's September Meeting Minutes will be looked upon for fresh impetus.
