TOKYO (Reuters) – The dollar fell to multi-week lows against the euro and the yen on Wednesday, after an uptick in a U.S. consumer price gauge did not spark wider fears about accelerating inflation and the Federal Reserve’s tapering, pushing down U.S. bond yields.
INFLATION IN THE FOREX MARKET
The dollar ticked down 0.2% to 108.80 yen, touching its lowest level in three weeks, down about 2 percent from a one-year peak hit at the end of last month.
The euro popped up 0.1% to $1.1960, hitting its highest level since mid-March, as it extended a rally from a five-month low of $1.1704 set on March 31.
Against the Swiss franc, the U.S. currency slipped to 0.9201 franc, near its lowest levels in six weeks.

The greenback’s fall came as U.S. bond yields dipped, thus reducing the currency’s yield attraction, as solid demand for a 30-year bond auction trumped rises in consumer inflation.
The 10-year U.S. Treasuries yield dipped to 1.620%, also its lowest levels since late March.
The U.S. consumer price index jumped 0.6% in March versus the previous month, the largest gain since August 2012, and rose 2.6% from a year earlier, both 0.1 percentage point above market expectations.
The core CPI, which excludes volatile foods and energy, was also a tad stronger than expected, with a year-on-year increase of 1.6%.
“It seems like the markets have already priced in economic normalisation as U.S. bond yields have risen considerably, with the five-year yield almost reaching 1% at one point,” said Minori Uchida, chief currency strategist at MUFG Bank.
