The US CPI number came in weaker than expected, sending the dollar lower nearly 0.5% versus majors yesterday, as investors move into riskier assets leaving “safe heavens” until further news. The JPY, CHF and Metals traded sharply lower while US and EU equities gained across the board, EU markets climbed nearly 1% and in Asian markets trading the NIKKEI gained 1.2% overnight. Gold and Silver traded sharply lower on the move away from safety, Gold closed lower at $1,493 per ounce and Silver at $17.77 per ounce, both topping a 1% loss on the day.

ECOFIN meeting all day, CAD Employment change at 1:30 pm and US China trade talks in the afternoon are the important news on the agenda Friday. (all times GMT).
