07.08.2025 ⇢ Tariff Accord Questioned

⌨US tariffs on Japanese goods dominated editorial attention on August 7, building on previous days' anxieties. Early reports confirmed the implementation of a 15% "reciprocal" tariff, directly impacting Toyota, which significantly revised its net profit forecast downwards. As the day progressed, the focus shifted to a political angle, with Japan's Prime Minister stating "no discrepancy" between the US and Japan regarding mutual tariffs, yet media simultaneously highlighted the lack of a documented agreement and the "backfiring" implications. This underscored a tension between official narrative and operational realities. Broader US economic pressure also continued, including calls for Intel's CEO to step down over China ties and tariffs weighing on global growth. Separately, an agreement for a US-Russia summit was confirmed.
