Focus on key US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February due 12:30 GMT later in the NY session.

US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for February is expected to rise to 1.7% YoY versus 1.4% prior.

Caution prevails ahead of US covid aid package announcements. Upbeat data could fuel further gains in the pair.
