# Australian Dollar rallies despite softer CPI as US Dollar tumbles after Fed, weaker data

> AUD/USD traded near 0.7010 after rising 0.82% as the US dollar weakened after the Fed meeting and softer US growth data. Australian CPI slowed to 3.8% in June, below consensus, reducing expectations of an August RBA hike. US Q2 GDP grew 1.5% annualized, below the 2.1% expected.
