The desk believes that the ECB's wage tracker data signals a stable wage growth outlook, which may influence the euro's trajectory against the dollar. Per the full note [source], the ECB wage tracker indicates negotiated wage growth stabilizing at around 2.6% for 2026, with a slight easing from 3.8% in 2025. This stability in wages, coupled with the ECB's cautious approach to monetary policy, suggests a more measured path for the euro as inflation pressures moderate. Upcoming inflation data releases on June 2 will be critical in assessing the market's response to these wage dynamics.
