04.03.2025 โ‡ข Day Trade Walls Rose Through Snow
โŒจTrump's Ukraine aid suspension, which emerged from yesterday's diplomatic breakdown, triggered morning market reactions with the yen surging to 148. By midday, the trade situation escalated as the U.S. imposed 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, while adding 10% to existing China tariffs. Beijing responded with agricultural product tariffs.

Japanese financial institutions showed signs of decoupling from international frameworks, with SMFG leading a withdrawal from carbon reduction commitments. The Ishiba administration secured a Lower House budget victory, while preparing responses to the trade crisis through an emergency Economic Minister dispatch to Washington.

The day's developments occurred against a backdrop of mounting weather concerns, as Tokyo implemented preventive expressway closures ahead of predicted heavy snowfall, marking a return to winter conditions following the recent forest fire crisis.
