ECB Executive Board member Cipollone: We are watching for signs of inflation expectations potentially decoupling.ECB Executive Board member Cipollone: No matter how clever and prudent the monetary and fiscal responses to energy supply shocks are designed, they are costly.Intel (INTC.O) shares rose 5.8% in pre-market trading.The Hang Seng Index closed up 315.17 points, or 1.22%, at 26,213.78 on Wednesday, May 6; the Hang Seng Tech Index closed up 39.52 points, or 0.8%, at 4,969.2; the H-share Index closed up 70.26 points, or 0.8%, at 8,800.75; and the Red Chip Index closed up 80.95 points, or 1.84%, at 4,487.37.May 6th - According to data released by the European Central Bank (ECB) on Wednesday, wage growth in the Eurozone is expected to slow this year, despite rising energy prices due to the Middle East conflict. The ECBs wage tracker shows wages are projected to rise by 2.6% this year, following a 3% increase in 2025. This figure for 2026 remains unchanged from the March forecast. ECB officials have emphasized that the outcome of wage negotiations is a key indicator for determining whether rising energy prices will trigger a sustained rise in inflation above its 2% target. ECB President Christine Lagarde stated that the ECB will closely monitor the data and conduct in-depth analysis of the wage agreement and collective bargaining agreement to be negotiated soon. The ECB kept its key interest rate unchanged last week but hinted that it might raise rates at its June meeting if the upward momentum in inflation since the start of the conflict in late February continues. The tracker indicates that there are currently no clear signs that the wage agreement will exacerbate inflation this year.

The EUR/USD rise is getting close to 1.0200 as investors await US inflation data

The EUR/USD moves in the 1.0200 range during Tuesday's Asian session after falling from 1.0221 as traders look for fresh data. The major currency pair gained over the first part of the week but lost some of those gains by Monday's close. Recent price fluctuations, however, seem to be constrained by a lack of noteworthy data or events and a cautious attitude ahead of Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for July.

 

Gains in the EUR/USD the day before are shown by higher readings of the Eurozone Sentix Investor Confidence Index and a drop in US Treasury yields. The primary sentiment indicator Index, however, increased in August from -26.4 to -25.2, which was projected to be the value. According to specifics, the eurozone's present state has improved from this month's lowest position since March 2021, when it was -16.5, to -16.3. The expectations index is at its lowest level since December 2008, despite a little increase to -33.8. It is still very close to that level. The US Dollar Index (DXY), in contrast, saw a daily decrease of 0.19 percent to 106.37.

 

The moderate Azione's resignation from the newly formed alliance ahead of the September elections looks to have put negative pressure on the Euro elsewhere due to Italian political worries.

 

The moderate Azione has backed out of its coalition with the Democratic Party and the +Europe party after only agreeing to do so last week. According to party leader Carlo Calendar, "the parts didn't fit." According to Reuters and Market News Publishing US, the alliance was formed in an effort to stop a more conservative government from taking office after the election on September 25.

 

Notably, gains in the EUR/USD the day before appeared to have been constrained by US President Joe Biden's displeasure of China's efforts to retake Taiwan and his censure of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taipei.

 

These actions caused the 10-year US Treasury rates, which had increased by 14 basis points (bps) the day before, to fall by around seven basis points (bps) to 2.75 percent. Wall Street also started Monday's trading day on a positive one before ending on a mixed note, albeit as of press time, S&P 500 Futures are showing minor gains.

 

Participants in the EUR/USD market may be interested in the second quarter's (Q2) US Nonfarm Productivity and Unit Labor Costs data. Forecasts suggest that US Nonfarm Productivity may rise to -4.6% from -7.3%, while Unit Labor Costs may decrease to 9.5% from 12.6%. The news regarding Taiwan and Russia will also be important for determining direction.
