As the source gives it

What a surprise usually does

Above the forecast: The dollar can firm as markets see inflation taking longer to return to the Fed's 2% goal; the move is usually moderate if the monthly data are calm.

Below the forecast: The dollar can soften as the annual trend appears closer to target and rate cuts look more plausible.

In line with the forecast: The dollar usually moves little unless the underlying monthly or core figures surprise.
