Japan's Election Shows Voters Have Finally Had Enough
In retrospect, the only really surprising thing about last weekend's election in Japan is that it took so long for something like this to happen. The 'this' is the toppling of the long-dominant Liberal Democratic Party, or LDP, from its majority in parliament's upper house in favor of, well, no one. The election's biggest winners were protest parties of the right, which increased their vote shares enough to deprive anyone else of a working majority. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba of the LDP already was trapped in a minority government in the lower house; his headaches now assume migraine-ish proportions.

EU's Sluggish Economy Faces Moderate Growth Slowdown from US Trade Tensions
A US-EU deal appears increasingly likely. The recent trade agreement between the US and Japan has increased pressure on the EU and other trading partners to pursue a similar arrangement. Ongoing negotiations suggest that a 15% levy on most EU exports to the US might be introduced, with EU officials pushing to have this rate applied to certain sectors, including automobiles. Steel and aluminium imports above a certain quota might face the current higher levy of 50%. President Donald Trump has persisted with his policy of imposing higher tariffs on trading partners, so the EU faces a potential 30% tariff without an agreement, up from the 20% tax imposed in April and then paused, although still below the 50% rate threatened in May. The EU has avoided direct retaliation to date. Scope Ratings (Scope) expects this cautious approach to continue, even as the EU prepares possible counter-measures. Nevertheless, the approach risks growing tariff asymmetries particularly if US levies on EU goods rise more quickly than EU levies on US exports. Scope's model-based estimates suggest that the implementation of a 15% US tariff would trim euro area and EU growth within a year by increasing the effective US tariff on EU exports by around 16pps, excluding the proposed across-the-board 30% rate (Figure 1). This estimate assumes threatened levies on pharmaceutical exports go into effect. The most-exposed EU economies are those with a large trade surplus and/or significant trade with the US, such as Germany and Ireland, with the impact of higher tariffs also felt indirectly through their effect on global supply chains. Among the EU's four largest economies – Germany, France, Italy and Spain – Germany and Italy are the most vulnerable, each facing an estimated short-term output loss of 0.4pps. The higher tariffs will reduce Spain's output by a moderate 0.3pps in the medium run. France is expected to experience a more modest cumulative reduction in output of 0.2pps in the medium term. Trade tensions underpinned the reduction last month of Scope's forecast for euro area growth for 2025 by 0.5pps to 1.1% though growth is expected to improve to 1.5% next year, lifted by fiscal stimulus in Germany and higher defence spending across the EU. Figure 1. US tariff rises set back growth in the largest EU economies Cumulative impact on real output (percentage-point change) assuming a 15% levy on EU exports Threatened 30% Levies Would Raise Economic Costs for the EU Economy Alternatively, if the US goes ahead with the threatened imposition of 30% tariffs on the EU on 1 August, equivalent to a rise in the effective US rates by around 26pps in aggregate this year, and the EU adopts counter-measures, the adverse effect on growth in the EU would clearly be more significant. For illustrative purposes, if both the 30% levies imposed by the US and EU counter-measures come into force on or shortly after 1 August and hypothetically stayed at the higher rates in the years ahead, Scope estimates suggest an aggregate output loss of 0.6pps by 2028 for the euro area and 0.5pps for the EU economy (Figure 2). Figure 2. EU, euro area economies are vulnerable to the imposition of much higher US levies Cumulative effect on real output (percentage-point change) in a scenario of 30% US tariff, EU countermeasures Averting this potentially damaging trade outcome for Europe depends on the negotiations underway in which the EU, even as the world's largest and most-open trading bloc, is at a disadvantage partly due to the greater importance of the US for its exporters than vice versa (Figure 3). The EU is seeking to bolster trade co-operation with other trading partners. Figure 3. US market more important for EU exporters than vice versa %; the dot sizes represent the dollar value of exports to the US, 2024 US-EU Preliminary Agreement Probable Considering this, it appears likely that the US and EU will achieve some form of a framework agreement even if this involves average US levies of above 10%. A preliminary agreement by 1 August remains firmly possible. Nevertheless, given the seesawing US trade policies of the recent months, the White House might in an alternative scenario firstly impose the 30% levies, potentially temporarily, as leverage in negotiations before settling on an agreement after 1 August. Any preliminary agreement is likely to contain many caveats and carve-outs – with limited enforceability – serving only to avert further worst-case escalation and act as the starting point for further negotiations. The EU has several ways to retaliate in the scenario of a worsening trade war, from the newly introduced but yet-to-be-used anti-coercion mechanism to possible tariffs on American exports and the imposition of export controls, though Scope expects any such retaliation to remain gradual.

Trump's Big Trade Deal With Japan Is Already Falling Apart
'I just signed the largest trade deal in history, I think maybe the largest deal in history, with Japan,' Trump boasted Tuesday. But a new report from The Financial Times demonstrates that U.S. and Japanese officials don't see eye to eye on what exactly the countries agreed upon. According to Trump and his administration, in return for a reduction in tariffs, Japan would invest $550 billion in certain U.S. sectors and give the United States 90 percent of the profits. But Japanese officials say profit sharing under the agreement isn't so set in stone: A Friday slideshow presentation in Japan's Cabinet Office, contra the White House, said profit distribution would be 'based on the degree of contribution and risk taken by each party,' per The Financial Times. The FT also reports conflicting messages between Washington and Tokyo as to whether that $550 billion commitment is, as team Trump sees it, a guarantee or, as Japan's negotiator Ryosei Akazawa sees it, an upper limit and not 'a target or commitment.' Mireya Solís, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, told The Financial Times that the deal contains 'nothing inspiring,' as 'both sides made promises that we can't be sure will be kept' and 'there are no guarantees on what the actual level of investments from Japan will be.' The inconsistent interpretations of the deal could possibly be owing to the fact that it was hastily pulled together over the course of an hour and 10 minutes between Trump and Akazawa on Tuesday, according to the FT, which cited 'officials familiar with the U.S.-Japan talks.' And, moreover, 'Japanese officials said there was no written agreement with Washington—and no legally binding one would be drawn up.' Some are thus beginning to wonder whether Trump's avowed 'largest deal in history' even technically counts as a deal at all. Brad Setser, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, wrote on X: 'If something like this is not 'papered' it isn't really a deal.'
