Australian dollar slips further on Thursday

Xinhua, July 30, 2015 Adjust font size:

The Australian dollar was again weaker against a greenback on Thursday.

The U.S. dollar strengthened after positive data from the U.S. Federal Reserve, pushing the Australian dollar down after a brief overnight rally where it pushed above 73 U.S. cents.

The currency was trading at 72.96 U.S. cents, down from a high of 73.21 U.S. cents on Wednesday.

Local analysts said the U.S. Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates unchanged governed the Australian dollar's fate. Endi
