No response in fetching ETH to USD current rate?

Question

I'm trying to fetch the current ethereum to usd rate from following link: https://api.infura.io/v1/ticker/ethusd

This is my code snippet

pragma solidity ^0.4.11;
import "github.com/oraclize/ethereum-api/oraclizeAPI.sol";

contract ExampleContract is usingOraclize {
string public ETHUSD;
event LogConstructorInitiated(string nextStep);
event LogPriceUpdated(string price);
event LogNewOraclizeQuery(string description);

function ExampleContract() payable {
    LogConstructorInitiated("Constructor was initiated. Call 'updatePrice()' to send the Oraclize Query.");
}

function __callback(bytes32 myid, string result) {
    if (msg.sender != oraclize_cbAddress()) revert();
    ETHUSD = result;
    LogPriceUpdated(result);
}

function updatePrice() payable {
    if (oraclize_getPrice("URL") > this.balance) {
        LogNewOraclizeQuery("Oraclize query was NOT sent, please add some ETH to cover for the query fee");
    } else {
        LogNewOraclizeQuery("Oraclize query was sent, standing by for the answer..");
        oraclize_query("URL", "json(https://api.infura.io/v1/ticker/ethusd).bid");
    }
}

}

but when I press updatePrice(), the transaction goes successful but no value is captured in ETHUSD variable. Any idea, what I'm doing wrong? I tried using this url and it works fine (for EUR,GBP) "json(http://api.fixer.io/latest?symbols=USD,GBP).rates.GBP"

I have just tried your code, and it works just fine. Do you mind sharing what network you are trying this on and how? In the example below, I'm using Oraclize's fork of remix, with an integrated Oraclize module, allowing you to use Oraclize right in the browser vm.

Ensure the network you are using is either mainnet or a public testnet. If it's not either of those, than the appropriate Oraclize architecture needs to be deployed on it, which can be done using ethereum-bridge npm package.
