00:28โขMarkets Surge As Trump Pauses Global Tariffs
โจThe newspapers report on a major development in Trump's tariff policy, as he halts higher tariffs on most nations while increasing China's rate to 125% (The Japan Times, Nikkei Asia, Japan Business Press). This decision has triggered a dramatic stock market rally in Japan, with the Nikkei average temporarily surging by 2,800 points and Tokyo stocks rising by over 2,000 points (Nikkei Shimbun, Yahoo News Japan). Notably, Russia has been exempted from the reciprocal tariffs, with speculation about Trump's motives (Japan Business Press). One headline also mentions "torpedo bat," though its context is unclear (Huffington Post Japan).
