1752 ET - AUD/USD has strengthened this week, and now trades above 0.6300, having fallen below 0.6250 at one point, but it remains vulnerable because "peak tariff" has not been reached yet, says Joe Capurso, economist at CBA. U.S. President Trump has signaled the implementation of more tariffs on imports and even if Australia can convince the U.S. government to not impose tariffs, some Australian exports to third economies are part of the export supply chain to the U.S., he adds. CBA estimates 2.4% of Australian GDP satisfies U.S. domestic demand through direct and indirect exports, he adds. (james.glynn@wsj.com; @JamesGlynnWSJ)
