US consumer prices rose 3.5% y/y in March, above estimates of 3.4%.
On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose 0.4%, while analysts expected a rise of 0.3%.
On trading, the dollar index rose 1% to 105.1 as of 19:32 GMT, with a session-high at 105.3, and a low at 104.02.
Yen
The USD/JPY pair rose 0.8% to 152.9 as of 19:53 GMT.
