“CPI lifted the US dollar ever so slightly. All eyes on Fed remarks and other economic data.”
US dollar was traded marginally higher on Wednesday as recent inflation data from January shows slight increase in consumer goods prices.

However, sentiment among market participants remains divided as a subset of them expects Fed to retain their current policy guidance unless substantial increase in inflation were shown consecutively in upcoming data.
