• 3dp: 0.171%

The January inflation rate came in slightly below expectations at 0.2% month-over-month, compared to the 0.3% forecast. This miss may suggest easing inflation pressures, which could influence the Federal Reserve's policy stance and may impact the USD negatively as markets reassess rate hike probabilities. Investors will likely focus on how this data reshapes the growth-inflation outlook moving forward.
