The Australian dollar rose against the greenback amid domestic consumer price data. A report showed that inflation rose by 0.4% in the fourth quarter after a 0.5% rise in the third quarter. Economists had expected the consumer price index to grow by 0.3%. The CPI rose by 1.7% on a y/y basis in Q4, while economists had expected a 1.6% increase. Higher inflation suggests that the Reserve Bank of Australia is unlikely to cut interest rates any time soon. Petrol prices fell by 5.7%, however prices for tobacco gained 7.4%, while prices for domestic holiday and accommodation rose by 5.9%.

The euro traded range-bound ahead of euro zone inflation data scheduled for this week. Consumer prices are expected to have risen by 0.4% y/y in January after a 0.2% increase in December. Higher inflation would relief ECB policymakers, because they had to use unconventional tools to make inflation grow towards the target level of just under 2%.

France, Spain and Belgium will release their fourth quarter GDP reports. These data will help market participants assess strength of the euro zone economy.
