On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, consumer prices moved up 0.1 percent, compared to a 0.1 percent fall in the prior month.

Core CPI, excluding food and energy, held steady at 0.1 percent.

The loonie touched 1.3613 against the greenback, its lowest level since December 12.

The loonie weakened to near a 2-week low of 1.4779 against the euro, from an early nearly 2-week high of 1.4706.

The loonie retreated to 0.8878 against the aussie and 110.53 against the yen, from an early nearly 2-week high of 0.8831 and a fresh 2-week high of 110.99, respectively.
