Nikkei surges in boost to Asia as Trump announces Japan trade deal
SYDNEY: A rally in Japanese shares led Asian markets on Wednesday after President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Japan and fuelled hopes of more to come, tempering the disappointment from U.S. earnings that highlighted the drag from higher tariffs. Trump late on Tuesday said a trade deal with Tokyo will include Japan paying a lower 15% tariff on shipments to the U.S. It followed an agreement with the Philippines that will see the U.S. collect a 19% tariff rate on imports from there. "Expectations for a breakthrough were low, so Trump's announcement delivers a mild upside surprise — providing near-term relief for Japanese equities," said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at Saxo. "Strategically, the deal allows Japan to sidestep immediate tariff escalation, while Trump's attention shifts elsewhere." Japan's Nikkei jumped 2.6% on Wednesday as shares of automakers surged on news the deal lowers the auto tariff to 15%, from a proposed 25%. Mazda Motor rallied 17% while Toyota Motor jumped 11%. Japanese government bonds slid, with the yields for 10-year JGBs up a whopping 8.5 bps at 1.585%, as the reduced uncertainty helped to clear the path for the Bank of Japan to resume interest rate hikes. The reaction in the yen was more muted, eking out a small 0.1% gain to 146.42 per dollar. Traders are on edge as Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba was planning to soon decide whether to step down after assessing the outcome of the trade deal, Yomiuri newspaper said. Trump also said representatives from the European Union are coming for trade negotiations on Wednesday. That stirred hopes for a deal with Europe, as markets were worried about broader EU countermeasures amid receding signs of a trade agreement with Washington. EUROSTOXX 50 futures rose 0.8%, while Wall Street futures were up about 0.1%. In another positive development, U.S. and Chinese officials will meet in Stockholm next week to discuss an extension to the August 12 deadline for negotiating a trade deal, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. Chinese blue-chips edged up 0.3% and Hong Kong's Hang Seng index gained 0.5%. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan advanced 0.6%. Overnight, Wall Street closed mixed as investors assessed a spate of earnings that pointed to signs that Trump's trade war is hitting corporate profit margins. General Motors tumbled 8.1% after the automaker reported a $1 billion hit from tariffs to its quarterly results. Shares of RTX dropped 1.6% after the aerospace and defense giant took a hit from tariffs despite strong demand for its engines and aftermarket services. Investors are now waiting for results from Tesla and Google's parent Alphabet - the Magnificent 7 stocks that have driven much of the market rally fuelled by AI optimism. In the foreign exchange market, moves are a little muted with the dollar holding onto overnight losses along with lower Treasury yields. The dollar index was flat at 97.45, having slipped 0.4% overnight for its third straight day of declines. The euro dipped 0.1% to $1.1739 after rising 0.5% overnight. Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields ticked up 2 basis points to 4.3559%, after slipping 3 bps overnight, as Trump continued to lash out at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for not cutting interest rates, although Bessent said there was no need for him to step down immediately. Bessent did say the Fed's vital independence on monetary policy is threatened by its "mandate creep" into non-policy areas and he called on the U.S. central bank to conduct an exhaustive review of those operations. Oil prices gained a little on Wednesday. U.S. crude rose 0.4% to $65.60 per barrel, while Brent was at $68.88 per barrel, up 0.4%. Spot gold prices were steady at $3,429 an ounce.

AECOM to enhance mobility across the Greater Bay Area by delivering the Hong Kong Section of Hong Kong–Shenzhen Western Rail Link (Hung Shui Kiu-Qianhai)
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 23 July 2025 - AECOM, the trusted global infrastructure leader, today announced that its joint venture with AtkinsRéalis has been awarded the consultancy agreement by the Highways Department of the HKSAR Government for the Hong Kong Section of Hong Kong–Shenzhen Western Rail Link (Hung Shui Kiu-Qianhai) (HSWRL). This cross-boundary railway project, a key initiative under the Northern Metropolis Development Strategy, will significantly enhance connectivity across the Greater Bay Area, particularly between Hong Kong and Shenzhen. "We're proud to support Highways Department as it expands its world-class railway network for greater regional mobility," said Mark Southwell, chief executive of AECOM's global Transportation business. "Our teams have delivered some of Hong Kong's most transformative railway projects, and we look forward to applying our expertise as the world's top rail and mass transit firm to realize this complex infrastructure initiative." HSWRL will contribute to a more sustainable urban environment while fostering economic integration, cultural exchange, improved accessibility across the region, and facilitating Hong Kong's better integration into the national development. A trip from Hung Shui Kiu to Qianhai will only take approximately 15 minutes — an improvement that supports the development of a "one-hour living circle" in the Greater Bay Area and facilitates cross-boundary commuting. "This award reflects the global experience, Mainland-Hong Kong cross-border expertise and deep sector knowledge that our integrated team brings to complex infrastructure projects," said Ian Chung, chief executive of AECOM's Asia region. "Having worked extensively on key projects in the region, we are honored to collaborate with the HKSAR Government on this vital cross-boundary link. By combining our technical excellence with a proven track record, we remain committed to achieving the highest standards of service for our clients." The consultancy agreement covers investigation, design and construction for the approximately 7.3-kilometer Hong Kong Section of the HSWRL, which will connect Hung Shui Kiu to the boundary with Shenzhen. The full railway will span around 18.1 kilometers, including 10.8 kilometers in Shenzhen, comprehensively integrating metro networks across the western regions of both cities. To maximize efficiency, transparency and quality, the project will adopt a single Common Data Environment (CDE) and a unified Building Information Modeling (BIM) platform across all project stages, supporting collaboration and cost-effective, timely outcomes. The project is among the strategic transport initiatives highlighted in Hong Kong's 2023 Major Transport Infrastructure Development Blueprint. AECOM contributed to the development of this long-term vision through its involvement in the Strategic Studies on Railways and Major Roads beyond 2030, helping to shape the region's future transport network and advancing greater integration within the Greater Bay Area. In addition to this strategic support, AECOM has delivered numerous high-profile railway projects across Hong Kong, including Hong Kong West Kowloon Station, Shatin to Central Link and Tuen Mun South Extension.

Gold eases as US-Japan trade deal lifts risk appetite, but weak dollar caps losses
Gold eased on Wednesday as risk appetite improved after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a trade deal with Japan ahead of an impending tariff deadline, though a soft dollar and lower Treasury yields capped losses for greenback-priced bullion. Spot gold was down 0.2% at $3,423.44 per ounce, as of 0136 GMT, after hitting its highest point since June 16 earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures also slipped 0.2% to $3,437.70. Trump said the U.S. and Japan had struck a trade deal that includes a 15% tariff that will be levied on U.S. imports from the country. U.S. and Chinese officials will meet in Stockholm next week to discuss an extension to the deadline to August 12 for negotiating a trade deal, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. "If further trade deals are signed ahead of August 1, this could further boost general risk appetite and reduce the demand for gold," CM Trade Chief Market Analyst Tim Waterer said. "But if the USD remains pressured this will keep a return to $3,500 a viable near-term prospect for the precious metal." Japanese shares led an Asian share market rally on Wednesday after Trump announced Japan trade deal. Offering support to bullion, the U.S. dollar index languished near a two-week low against its rivals, making greenback-priced gold less expensive for other currency holders. Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields on Tuesday touched their lowest level since July 9. Meanwhile, Trump continued his attack on U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, calling him a "numbskull" who has kept interest rates too high and said he will be out in eight months. "These are low-liquidity conditions and that could just easily see volatility recede should the pressure on Powell's firing ease. Bears may therefore be lurking to fade into moves below $3,500," said Matt Simpson, a senior analyst at City Index. Elsewhere, spot silver fell 0.3% to $39.15 per ounce, platinum dropped 0.3% to $1,437.83 and palladium slipped 0.8% to $1,264.96.
