According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in the US, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) rose by 0.3 per cent in November.
Thus, on an annual basis, the inflation index for all items rose to 2.1 per cent before seasonal adjustment.
The index had previously risen by 0.4 per cent in October, and the consensus forecasts projected a marginal increase of only 0.2 per cent for the current period.
However, the American economy has exhibited signs of faster growth in inflationary pressures than previously anticipated.
Nevertheless, the observed performance of the index in November is inlined with FED's projections for a 2 per cent symmetric headline inflation.
If the inflationary pressures continue to rise as drastically in the next period, however, the FOMC might be compelled to consider lifting the interest rates, in order to prevent the economy from overheating.
Meanwhile, the EURUSD initially fell on the news of the heightened inflation in the states.
The pair tumbled by 0.09 per cent to the major resistance (now support) level at 1.10740 before the price rebounded from the pivotal level.
The EURUSD went to finish yesterday’s trading session with a total of 0.32 per cent gains.
