AUD/USD: weighed on poor CPI before May's RBA
AUD/USD has started to make a recovery of the downside play from the U.S. afternoon's session commencing at 0.7694 and finishing up at the lows of 0.7621.
The price is testing the resistance of the bearish 100 sma at 0.7628 and is riding the weakness of the greenback after the FOMC's less than hawkish tone earlier in the week and the GDP data from overnight that shows the momentum the economy had been making is now slowing. Oil and gold were well bid overnight, offering some support to the Aussie ahead of the Asian closing session that will bring us RBA's assistant Debelle speaking and some second tier numbers in private sector credit and producer prices.

On a reversal, the next stop is the 50 dma at 0.7514 and April lows of 0.7491.
