According to incomplete statistics, since the beginning of this year, over 20 provinces and cities nationwide, including Guangdong, Hubei, Guizhou, Yunnan, Chengmai County in Hainan, Lhasa in Tibet, Huaian in Jiangsu, Jinjiang in Fujian, and Urumqi in Xinjiang, have introduced housing subsidy policies. The biggest change in these policies is the shift from a universally applicable approach to targeted subsidies to more specific groups. Housing subsidies are becoming increasingly refined and differentiated within the housing market regulation toolbox. The biggest beneficiaries of these targeted subsidies remain high-level talent. For example, Huangpu District in Guangzhou has introduced a talent housing subsidy policy, offering subsidies of 100,000 yuan, 150,000 yuan, 250,000 yuan, and 300,000 yuan respectively to eligible undergraduates (or senior technicians), masters degree holders (or associate senior professional titles, special-grade technicians), doctoral degree holders (or senior professional titles, chief technicians), and postdoctoral fellows who have worked in the district within one year of completing their postdoctoral research.New Zealands National Emergency Management Agency has issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas following a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in the Fiordland region.Kremlin: The difficulties facing the Russian economy are not critical, and macroeconomic stability is guaranteed.

AUD/USD falls approaching 0.7200 despite the former RBA governor's aggressive forecasts

Bears and buyers continue to fight for position around 0.7220-25 as sentiment is mixed and investors remain cautious ahead of the week's big data/events. In doing so, the Australian duo struggles to defend the hawkish remarks of former Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Ian Macfarlane.

 

Ex-RBA Governor Macfarlane warned early Wednesday morning about chronically rising inflation and the need to drastically increase interest rates. The former policymaker also stated, "There is sufficient scarcity in Australia and the United States to maintain a high inflation rate."

 

In contrast, China's Vice Commerce Minister Wang Shouwen joined China's Vice Finance Minister Zou Jiayi in reiterating concerns about a global economic downturn and a decline in demand. Recent consensus among policymakers held that the rise of global demand is slowing.

 

It's worth noting that a rebound in US Treasury rates and apprehension ahead of Thursday's European Central Bank (ECB) meeting, as well as Friday's US Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May, tend to stifle the AUD/USD pair's movements.

 

In spite of this, 10-year US Treasury note rates jump two basis points (bps) to 2.99 percent the day after breaking a six-day downward trend. A record decline in the US trade deficit and optimism on the US budget appear to have prompted a recall of US Treasury bond sellers. The US trade deficit for April decreased 19.1 percent from the previous day to USD87.1 billion.

 

Other market optimists were defended by US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and optimism for a quicker economic rebound in China. Tuesday, US Treasury Secretary Yellen spoke before the Senate Finance Committee about the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget while stating that the US economy faced problems from "unsustainable levels of inflation" and supply chain disruptions. The official said, "An adequate budget is necessary to support the Fed's efforts to control inflation without damaging the labor market."

 

It should be noted that World Bank (WB) President David Malpass's warning that faster-than-anticipated tightening might force certain nations into a debt crisis akin to that of the 1980s appears to have impacted on the quotation as of late. The risk-negative news from Ukraine may follow a similar trajectory. Politico reported that Ukraine has not yet achieved a deal with Russia or Turkey to enable the safe passage of its grain ships in the Black Sea, casting doubt on a U.N. initiative to build a crucial food corridor.

Technical Evaluation

A two-week-old support line protects AUD/USD buyers at 0.7205. However, the 200-day moving average and the recent top, located around 0.7255 and 0.7285, may challenge the Aussie pair's upside before the bulls regain control.
