Economists had expected a 3.8 percent increase.

Core CPI, excluding food and energy, eased to 0.3 percent from 0.4 percent last month.

The loonie strengthened to a 1-year high of 110.44 against the yen and more than a 3-month high of 1.4303 against the euro, off its early lows of 109.37 and 1.4423, respectively.

The loonie climbed to multi-week highs of 1.3378 against the greenback and 0.8648 against the aussie, from its early lows of 1.3489 and 0.8691, respectively.
