Comment: Tuesday’s softer-than-expected US CPI report suggested that the big surge in inflation this year may have peaked and eased fears for an earlier than expected tapering by the Fed. This was evident from the steep decline in the US Treasury bond yields, which prompted some intraday selling around the USD and weighed on the USD/CAD pair. However, a turnaround in the US equity markets revived demand for the safe-haven USD.
