The US monthly Consumer Price Inflation has increased by 0.1% instead of the forecast 0.3%. Year-on-year inflation is at 7.1%, compared to forecast 7.3%. Meanwhile, core CPI month-on-month is at 0.2% instead of 0.3%.

The lower than expected US inflation caused a drop of the US Dollar. The USD/JPY plummeted on the news down to the 135.00 mark. Moreover, after retracing and encountering resistance in the 135.60/135.75 zone the pair resumed its decline. By mid-Wednesday, the rate had touched the 134.50 level and the weekly S1 simple pivot point.

In regards to near future, fundamentals continue to dictate the moves. At 19:00 GMT, the US Federal Reserve is set to announce its interest rate hike. The markets expect a 0.50% interest increase. Afterwards, at 19:30 GMT, the head of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell will host a press conference, during which the future plans of the US Dollar's policymakers will be revealed.
