Small-cap shares are edging higher in midday trading, supported by a reversal rally that was triggered ahead of the opening by an inflation report suggesting that the economic slowdown is moderating inflation related to soaring food and energy prices. At 1:20 p.m. ET, the Russell 2000 (NYSE:IWM) was up 6.71, or 0.91%, at 743.56.

The consumer price index (CPI) headline figure came in at 0.2%, which was below the forecasted 0.3%. The “core” reading, which excludes food and energy costs, came in at 0.1%, also below the median forecast of 0.2%. The CPI report suggested inflation wasn’t out of control, which means the Federal Reserve can keep interest rates low in response to the sputtering economy.

“Headline consumer inflation rose moderately in April because a sharp rise in food prices was partially offset by no change in energy costs,” Steven Wood, chief economist with Insight Economics, said in an email. “Meanwhile, core consumer inflation rose only slightly with largely offsetting price accelerations and decelerations in the various expenditure categories.

Crude oil climbed to an intraday record of $120 a barrel, as the dollar hit a new low against the euro. The greenback climbed to $1.60 per euro for the first time after the European Central Bank signaled it will not slash interest rates due to inflation concerns Oil also spiked on a Nigerian supply disruption.

“Over the last 24 hours, four ECB speakers state that they’re concerned about inflation — one going as far as to say that they’re considering raising rates every month going forward,” Andy Busch, BMO Capital Markets global ethics strategist said. “This is part of why the U.S. dollar has come under so much pressure from the euro.”
