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.

AUD/USD However, 0.6700 is the key to the upside

In the early hours of Tuesday morning in Asia, the AUD/USD receives bids near 0.6650 to recover recent losses. In doing so, the Aussie pair recovers from the lowest levels in two weeks while reversing course from the horizontal support that has been in place for 12 days around 0.6620.

 

Nonetheless, imminent bearish MACD signals and a stable RSI indicate that the AUD/USD pair will continue to decline.

 

The convergence of the 10-day moving average and the support-turned-resistance line from March 10, close to the round number 0.6700, may also threaten the most recent price recovery.

 

Even if the AUD/USD bulls are able to surpass 0.6700, the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the pair's February-March decline, located around 0.6805, will serve as the final line of defense for the bears.

 

Alternately, a break below 0.6620 could initiate a new decline aiming for the Year-to-Date (YTD) low established in February around 0.6565.

 

Notably, the AUD/USD pair's decline beyond 0.6565 confronts multiple obstacles to the south, including the highs for October 2022 near 0.6545 and 0.6520.

 

After that, a decline to the November 2022 low of approximately 0.6275 cannot be ruled out.

 

Regardless of the recent corrective rally, the AUD/USD remains on the radar of skeptics.
