15.07.2025 ⇢ Nissan's Factory Transitions
⌨Nissan's restructuring dominated Japanese media, as the automaker confirmed it would cease vehicle production at its Oppama plant by late fiscal 2027, and other facilities like Shonan by late 2026. This "bitter decision" involves transferring operations and sparked local community concern, significantly impacting the domestic automotive sector. Concurrently, the Upper House election remained a central domestic story, with final polls indicating the ruling LDP-Komeito coalition faces difficulty securing a majority, and tariff negotiations emerging as a key issue. Internationally, China's Q2 GDP growth was reported, though focus also broadened to its "employment ice age" exacerbated by US friction, and speculation regarding internal Communist Party shifts. President Trump's evolving stance on Putin continued to draw attention, and general tariff and political uncertainties affected Tokyo stock markets.
