EUR/USD soars as US CPI comes in below expectations

  • EUR/USD soars on the back of the sentiment for a Fed pivot following soft US Consumer Price Index (CPI).
  • US CPI came in below expectations and sent risk assets higher, US Dollar lower. 

EUR/USD has rallied heavily as the US Consumer Price Index has come in below expectations, leaving the door wide open for a pivot from the Federal Reserve that meets this week to decide on its monetary policy path. At the time of writing, EUR/USD is up on the day by over 1%, with the bulk of its gains coming in a knee-jerk reaction to the US inflation data as illustrated below. 

The Euro reached a high of 1.0648 from 1.0555 off the bat vs. the US Dollar when US CPI printed as follows: 

  • US CPI MoM Nov: 0.1% (est 0.3%, prev 0.4%).
  • US CPI Ex Food And Energy M/M Nov: 0.2% (est 0.3%, prev 0.3%).
  • US CPI YoY Nov: 7.1% (est 7.3%, prev 7.7%).
  • US CPI Ex Food And Energy Y/Y Nov: 6.0% (est 6.1%, prev 6.3%).

As a consequence of the data, the terminal Fed rate is now down to 4.86% vs 4.98% prior to the report which is weighing heavily on the US Dollar and US Treasury yields. DXY, an index that measures the US dollar vs. a basket of currencies fell to a low of 103.923 having been as high as 105.095 on the day as investors give a sigh of relief with the US benchmarks rallying - The Nasdaq jumped over 500 points.
