USD Turns Bullish Today, As Prices Increase in the US

Inflation is ticking higher in the US

US inflation slowly moving higher

The USD turned bearish again this month, after the advance in January. But, it seems like the bearish move might be over now, after it has climbed more than 100 pips higher today. The US PCE price report helped the Buck as well, showing an increasing trend, while the personal spending and income also came in positive. This data report proves Jerome Powell wrong once again.
