Aug 14 - The dollar lost ground against its major peers on Wednesday, helping the euro to an eight-month peak, as the U.S.consumer price index showed inflation is subsiding, reinforcing expectations that Federal Reserve interest rate cuts are near.
"Today's CPI is supportive with the Fed getting to its 2.8% PCE target, which it has for the end of this year. It supports a cut in September, but one where it's potentially more moderate than what the market had thought over the course of the last week," said Marvin Loh, senior global macro strategist, State Street.
Traders had been widely expecting a rate cut in September before the producer price data, and ramped up bets for a super-sized 50 basis-point cut after the release to 56% from 53% a day earlier, according to CME Group's FedWatch Tool.Sterling failed to gain on the weaker dollar and was last down 0.02% at $1.2854 after data showed the rise in British consumer price inflation was smaller than expected in July as services prices - closely watched by the Bank of England - rose less rapidly.
