US jobless claims fell to 462,000, a better result than the 475,000 expected. Also on the bright-side was the fact that CPI was flat in September and a rise of only 0.1% in the core rate.

The greenback is firming modestly in the wake of the data at 1.3505 and 100.75, but equities will be the driving factor once again today. Next up on the calendar is TIC data at 9:00 am, followed by industrial production at 9:15 am.
