Month-on-month inflation ticked up 0.1 per cent, less than the 0.3 per cent increase forecast by economists.Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite both jumped more than 2 per cent immediately after the inflation figures were released but pared gains later in the day to 0.5 per cent and 0.6 per cent, respectively.

However, analysts cautioned that the central bank still had plenty of work to do to get inflation back down to the 2 per cent target.US government bonds rallied across the board, with the two-year Treasury yield, which is particularly sensitive to interest rate expectations, dropping 0.18 percentage points to 4.21 per cent as the price of the debt instrument climbed.The dollar has tumbled since hitting a 20-year high in late September and weakened further against a basket of six peers yesterday, falling 1.2 per cent.The European Central Bank also meets this week and is expected to tighten monetary policy less aggressively as well, despite mixed economic data.
