High inflation → central bank likely to raise rates → currency strengthens (short term). But if inflation is already priced in, a "high print" can cause USD to fall if it misses expectations.

Trade the expectation vs actuality gap. If CPI expected 3.0% and comes in at 3.4%, that is hawkish surprise → buy USD immediately on the release.
