05.09.2025 ⇢ The day US-Japan 80 trillion yen investment concerns emerged
⌨The day saw a complex evolution of US-Japan economic relations as the primary editorial focus. Following President Trump's order reducing tariffs on Japanese auto imports, initial reports noted the positive impact on Japan's stock market. However, the narrative quickly shifted to potential downstream effects: 80% of Japanese auto parts companies indicated they would pass on costs, signaling a likely increase in car prices for US consumers. A new point of friction emerged with reports on Trump's selection of an 80 trillion yen investment destination, potentially leaving unresolved issues in a bilateral memorandum. Domestically, Typhoon 15 continued to be a significant concern, bringing heavy rains and damage to the Kanto region and Shizuoka, alongside reports of corporate restructuring and early retirements. The ongoing political challenges for Prime Minister Ishiba also received attention.
