US data continues continues coming just a bit above expectations: PPI rose 0.5% m/m, +0.1% above expectations. Core PPI rose 0.1% as predicted. Year over year PPI is down 1.1% and core +0.6%.

Producer prices were expected to rise 0.4% in May after falling by 0.4% in April (before revisions). Core PPI carried expectations for a rise of 0.1% after a slide of 0.2% beforehand. The PPI data precedes the CPI data next week.
The US dollar was strengthening against the euro but stable against other currencies towards the release.
