15.08.2025 ⇢ Growth Peaks, History Reflects
⌨The day's editorial priorities centered on Japan's robust economic performance and the profound reflections surrounding the 80th anniversary of World War II's end. Early reports highlighted a stronger-than-expected 1% annual increase in Q2 real GDP, immediately driving the Nikkei Average past 43,000 yen and reinforcing arguments for a Bank of Japan rate hike, continuing a trend of record highs from previous days. Concurrently, the 80th anniversary of the war's end prompted deepening coverage of historical memory. This progressed from reports of Prime Minister Ishiba's address including "reflection" for the first time in 13 years, to increasingly personal and complex narratives, including accounts from Manchuria questioning identities as "aggressor or victim." International news remained relevant, with ongoing attention on an anticipated US-Russia presidential summit and a new focus on a Japanese steel firm's test following an explosion at its new US acquisition, linking to prior US tariff and trade discussions.
