How US tariffs on Japan could impact Americans playing Nintendo video games
TOKYO -- For Americans who were eagerly awaiting the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, the delay of U.S. pre-orders for the popular new gaming console this April was one indication of what's to come if President Donald Trump's planned 25% tariffs on all Japanese exports goes into effect on August 1, as he's said it will in his latest letter to the Japanese government on July 7. U.S. pre-orders of Nintendo's next generation gaming console were delayed from April 9 to April 24 because of the impact of potential tariffs from the U.S., the company said at the time. Nintendo moved forward with the planned June 5 launch date of the device in the U.S., selling 3.5 million consoles worldwide in the first four days on the market, but the delay for such a high-demand product suggests consumers could see greater impacts to products from the popular gaming company that are sold in the United States in the near future. 'There will be tariffs imposed on the devices, so definitely there will be impact,' Professor Yusuke Koyama who teaches economics and focuses his research on the gaming and animation industry at Shibaura Institute of Technology in Japan told ABC News. 'If the tariffs are fixed, and it's clear that it's going to be a long-term thing, they are definitely going to have to raise prices,' he on Japanese exports aren't the only issue Nintendo could face in the Trump tariff war, Koyama said. The Nintendo Switch 2 devices are primarily manufactured outside of the U.S. in China and other countries in Southeast Asia. Because of this, the devices will be impacted by the tariffs not only on Japan but on other Asian countries as well, he added. Nintendo previously had most of their devices made in China, but the company began shifting its production sites to other countries in Southeast Asia in 2019, during the first Trump administration, Koyama said. 'It is not an easy thing to move the production sites on the devices,' Koyama said. Japanese electronics companies may have to restructure once they start to feel the impact from the U.S. tariffs, chief economist at the Japanese Dai-ichi Life Research Institute Hideo Kumano told ABC News. 'At the moment, people don't really feel the impact, but recently some electronics companies announced their plans for restructuring,' Kumano told ABC News. 'If such plans are actually executed, then people lose jobs … Such a negative impact might be felt by summer or autumn onwards.' Nintendo has not announced any plans for restructuring publicly at this time, and Nintendo declined ABC News' request for an interview. If a Japanese company does business globally, it will be impacted by the coming tariffs, Kumano added. 'All companies that do business globally will be impacted one way or another,' he said. While Nintendo's gaming consoles and physical products will be impacted, the games consumers can download won't be subject to the new tariffs. While the U.S. consumer downloading ratio compared to purchasing of physical products is already high, Koyama said he could see this area of Nintendo's business expand if the tariffs do cause other prices to increase. 'In the U.S., it already has a high downloading ratio, so I think that trend may just get stronger with this,' Koyama said. 'In Japan, the packages are still more popular.' Despite potential price hikes, Koyama predicts consumers will still purchase Nintendo products and games, because their games are unique compared to their competitors. 'Nintendo is producing games that you cannot find in other PC games or PlayStation games, so that's why the games are very popular,' Koyama said. 'I think the consumers will still buy.' Japanese companies Kumano has spoken with said these tariffs are unlike anything they've seen before. 'I've actually had conversations with people from various companies, and they all say that things were changing so rapidly. This is the first experience for them to be involved in such rapid and dramatic change,' Kumano said.

Battery Material Stocks Jump after US Announces Graphite Duty
(Bloomberg) — Stocks of battery material makers climbed after the US announced it would impose preliminary anti-dumping duties of 93.5% on graphite imports from China. The Dutch Intersection Is Coming to Save Your Life Advocates Fear US Agents Are Using 'Wellness Checks' on Children as a Prelude to Arrests LA Homelessness Drops for Second Year Manhattan, Chicago Murder Rates Drop in 2025, Officials Say Mumbai Facelift Is Inspired by 200-Year-Old New York Blueprint Shares of Australian graphite miner Syrah Resources Ltd. (SYAAF) surged as much as 38%, while shares of South Korea's Posco Future M Co. ( climbed 24%. Novonix Ltd. (NVNXF), an Australian-listed company with a graphite production plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, surged 21%. Gains in these and other Asian stocks tracked earlier jumps in Canadian peers including Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc. (NMG). The Commerce Department issued the preliminary determination Thursday, and a final plan should be announced by Dec. 5. The US determined that China, which dominates the processing capacity of graphite, had been unfairly subsidizing the industry. Graphite is a key raw material in the anodes of electric-vehicle batteries. About two-thirds of the material imported by the US still came from China last year, according to BloombergNEF, even though China strengthened export control on some categories of graphite since 2023. The US has sought to encourage EV makers to be less reliant on Chinese components with subsidy-qualifying measures under its Inflation Reduction Act. 'I think this is going to change behaviors and sourcing strategies of battery manufacturers in the United States,' said Michael O'Kronley, chief executive officer at Novonix. 'The cost of graphite imported from China is going to go up. This ruling essentially is going to accelerate some of those discussion we have with manufacturers.' The new duties will add to existing rates making the effective tariff 160%, according to the American Active Anode Material Producers, the trade group that filed the complaint. China currently dominates the processing capacity of graphite, with the International Energy Agency in a report in May calling the material one of the most exposed to potential supply risks. 'Expectations of IRA benefits coupled with US-China decoupling are boosting investor sentiment and driving up the share prices of related companies,' said Namho Kim, general manager of Timefolio Investment Management in Seoul. 'Battery material companies with lower reliance on China will emerge as key beneficiaries.' Chinese suppliers including Hunan Zhongke Electric Co. ( and Jiangsu Baichuan High-Tech New Materials Co. ( traded slightly higher early Friday. 'The US is likely to be promoting the development of its own graphite industry by forcing domestic battery makers to switch suppliers,' said Eugene Hsiao, head of China equity strategy at Macquarie Capital. 'Thus upstream suppliers of Chinese graphite anodes are more likely to be impacted.' —With assistance from Hoi Yuet Woo.

Australia's Treasurer Weighs Impact of Possible US Drug Tariff
Australia is evaluating the impact of potential US tariffs of 200% on pharmaceutical imports, Treasurer Jim Chalmers said, while reiterating that his nation's subsidies for certain drugs are not up for negotiation. 'We're working through' how the potential tariff might work with the industry and 'the potential consequences of pharmaceuticals being caught up in these escalating trade tensions,' Chalmers said in an interview with Bloomberg Television from the Group of 20 meeting in South Africa on Friday.
