US ISM Manufacturing PMI on Wednesday showed New Orders Index jumped to 47.0 from the expectations of 43.7 and the former release of 42.5.
Further, the Manufacturing Price Paid climbed to 51.3 vs. the consensus of 45.0 and prior 44.5, suggesting that Producer Price Index (PPI) might deliver a surprise upside ahead.
Data shows that the US inflation situation is getting complex and Federal Reserve (Fed) is likely to strengthen its defense in the battle against persistent inflation.
Fed chair Jerome Powell has been reiterating that a consideration of a premature rate cut could have a devastating impact on the inflation situation.

On the other side, back-to-back dovish commentaries from Bank of Japan (BoJ) policymakers are impacting the Japanese Yen.
Looking ahead, focus is on Friday’s key US ISM Services PMI for February for further impetus.
