07.07.2025 ⇢ Economy's Worsening Turn
⌹Japanese media's primary focus on 2025-07-07 centered on the nation's economic state. Early reports highlighted global economic contention, including US tariffs taking effect and Nippon Steel's strategic acquisition of US Steel to counter Chinese rivals.
By mid-morning, a significant shift occurred as official reports confirmed a formal "worsening" of Japan's economic assessment for the first time in nearly five years, signaling a potential recession. This downturn was linked to weak exports and US tariff policies, prompting Japanese automakers like Toyota to explore shipping US-made cars to Japan.
Concurrently, geopolitical realignments, such as the absence of Chinese and Russian leaders at the BRICS summit and discussions of a potential "cold war" in the Middle East, also appeared. Domestically, ongoing extreme heat and political discourse, including criticism of the current administration and the role of foreign nationals in the Upper House election, received attention.
