Asian stocks edged towards a weekly loss and the U.S. dollar was headed for a month of gains after U.S. inflation came in steady, without the hoped-for surprise on the downside. | Reuters

Headline U.S. CPI was 0.2 percent last month, the same as a month earlier, and the details were encouraging – with core goods inflation slowing down and only rents proving stubbornly sticky.

Benchmark 10-year Treasuries initially rallied on the inflation headlines, but yields were seven basis points higher at 4.11 percent by the close of trade in New York. Two-year yields rose two bps to 4.82 percent.
