US CPI data fails to impress

US CPI data, revealing that headline prices increased more than expected in December while core inflation fell, disappointed equity markets on Thursday.  A US/UK airstrike on Houthi rebels in Yemen added to inflationary concerns although it did provide a boost to oil prices.
