Who Buys the F-150s, and More Japan Deal Mysteries
The long-awaited trade deal between the US and Japan has investors celebrating after months of uncertainty. But as the song goes, nagging questions always remain. Who is going to buy the 'cars, SUVs and trucks' that President Donald Trump has promised to sell? Who is going to purchase the 100 Boeing jets? And what possible structure could the $550 billion fund, allegedly financed by Tokyo with 90% of profits going to US, actually take?

Japan Investors Brace for BOJ, Earnings After Trump-Fueled Rally
(Bloomberg) -- Japan's surprise trade deal with the US sent its markets on a wild ride, pushing stocks to all-time highs and fueling a selloff in government bonds. The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Trump Administration Sues NYC Over Sanctuary City Policy Automakers' shares led a market-wide surge after US President Donald Trump announced the deal on Wednesday. The broad Topix index hit a record close. Investors, finally having some good news, seemed to largely ignore thorny questions about the details of the trade deal, let alone the tenuous position of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba following a recent election setback. But as the dust settles and focus returns to problems closer to home, investors are questioning whether the rally was a sign of things to come — or just a blip for a market that is facing multiple sources of volatility in the coming weeks and months. 'The deal came and there was this immense relief, and now markets are saying: 'hang on, not too much',' said Vishnu Varathan, head of economics and strategy at Mizuho Bank Ltd. 'It's a relief that we didn't bleed to death. But we are still in triage, if not the ICU.' The headache for investors in Japan is that almost every piece of good news comes with a caveat. The trade deal was a clear win, but the 15% tariffs facing Japanese companies are still well above their level at the start of the year. The economy may get a boost, but that could in turn speed up interest rate hikes. The deal removes one reason for Ishiba to cling to power — since he had made clear he wanted to get it done while in office — but the win means he now has a better case for hanging on. That has shifted attention to some major events in the coming days, which will offer clues to the direction of travel for a stock market that has underperformed its regional peers this year. The Bank of Japan's monetary policy announcement on Thursday, although unlikely to result in a rate change, will be scrutinized for hints that the central bank may hike as early as September. That could hit both bond and stock prices. Investors will also be focused on corporate earnings, with Fujitsu Ltd., Tokyo Electron Ltd. and Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. among the companies set to report. Those earnings will be far too early to gauge the impact of the trade deal, but they will help investors get a sense of how strong Japanese companies are as they prepare for a prolonged period of higher tariffs — however good the figures might look compared to the worst case scenario. The 15% tariff on Japanese goods, including autos, was a relative reprieve from earlier threats of 25% or higher. Japan also agreed to invest $550 billion into the US as part of the deal, a vague pledge that has left market participants guessing at the potential details. 'You've certainly got the makings of an extended rally,' said Pelham Smithers, an analyst who runs an eponymous Japan equity research firm in the UK. 'But the bigger questions will be Bank of Japan policy, and whether Trump backtracks on this tariff deal.' Fiscal Fears Smithers, who was engrossed in the video-game Civilization when news of Trump's Japan deal broke, says his 'army of sales people' were swamped with calls from clients asking for updates on Japan's market. The enthusiasm is understandable. After trading sideways for most of July, the Topix Index jumped 4% over the course of the week, notching a new all-time high. Toyota Motor Co.'s shares posted their biggest intraday gain since 1987. SoftBank Group Corp.'s shares hit a record high. Japan's 10-year bond yields reached their highest level since 2008 after the trade deal was announced. Two-year yields, which are sensitive to changing interest rate expectations, also jumped. 'The tariff news was a complete positive surprise,' said Hisashi Arakawa, director and head of equities at abrdn Japan Ltd. 'I didn't expect the market to move that quickly.' The outlier to the wild moves was the yen, which fluctuated between gains and losses as traders digested the news. Caution was returning to the stock market by the end of the week, with both the Nikkei 225 index and the Topix closing down almost 1% Friday, part of a wider decline in Asia. One major concern is that the weakened government — whether led by Ishiba or someone else — may give in to opposition calls for tax cuts, worsening Japan's already stretched fiscal position. Worries about government finances have weighed on global debt markets in recent months, hitting Japan's ultra-long bonds alongside those in the US and elsewhere. Local media reports that Ishiba will soon announce his resignation have fueled these concerns, although he denied the reports. For now, investors in Japan have more questions than answers. The country's trade relationship with the US is, more or less, clear. But almost everything else remains in flux, and market watchers think the recent rally may reflect hope more than reason. 'We all need to cool our heads and regroup,' said Yusuke Sakai, a senior trader at T&D Asset Management in Tokyo, who called the stock rally a knee-jerk reaction. --With assistance from Momoka Yokoyama.

Trump's Tariffs and Japan Deal Could Encourage Toyota To Move Manufacturing Jobs Out of America
In This Article: Over the past few decades, Japan-based automaker Toyota has spent billions of dollars to expand its manufacturing and assembly plants in the United States. Those plants now employ over 64,000 people across North America and have churned out millions of vehicles. For politicians who fetishize blue-collar work, this ought to be tremendous news. Indeed, it also illustrates one of the underappreciated aspects of globalization and free trade: The flow of capital and goods often gets blamed for the outsourcing of American jobs overseas, but it also means the creation of jobs in America that are backed by investments from foreign firms. Now, however, the Trump administration seems to be trying to undo that. With a series of short-sighted tariff maneuvers, the president has effectively told Toyota (and other Japanese carmakers) that it should do more of its manufacturing in Japan and stop trying to create jobs in America. Earlier this week, President Donald Trump announced a new trade deal with Japan that will include a 15 percent tariff on Japanese goods, including imported cars. The details of the deal remain somewhat vague, but that's a significant discount compared to the 25 percent tariff the administration has imposed on cars imported from everywhere else. The reduced tariffs for Japanese cars are significant because of how that provision interacts with the Trump administration's other trade policies that are aimed at making it more expensive to manufacture cars in the United States. The president has imposed a 50 percent tariff on steel and aluminum (both of which are essential for automakers) and has slapped a 25 percent tariff on imported cars and car parts. Those tariffs are already dinging the profits of American carmakers—General Motors reportedly lost more than $1 billion in the second quarter of the year—and auto industry experts say they will raise prices, reduce demand for new cars, and generally make American cars less globally competitive. In short, the Trump administration is offering an incentive to import finished cars from Japan, while making it more expensive to buy the stuff you need to build cars in America. The 15 percent tariff on Japanese imports is "unfair for American automakers," who are facing a 25 percent tariff on auto parts and finished cars imported from Canada and Mexico, David Whiston, an analyst for market research firm Morningstar, told The Washington Post. Matt Blunt, president of the American Automotive Policy Council, has also called it a " bad deal." So far, the White House has shaken off those complaints. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC on Thursday that tariff complaints from the American auto industry were "just so silly" and repeated the Trump administration's claim that "there's no tariff if you build it in America."
