The dollar rose after better-than-expected U.S. consumer price data on Thursday, pushing the dollar higher as the data showed the Federal Reserve may be more aggressive in fighting rising inflation.

The dollar index, which measures the value of the U.S. currency against six major currencies, rose 0.23%.

Against the euro, the single European currency fell 0.18% to $1.1401.

The consumer price index rose 0.6% in January, one-tenth of a percentage point higher than expected, while the annual consumer price index rose 7.5%, or two-tenths more than economists polled by Reuters had expected.
