<br>[Economics Department, Reporter Taichi Yokoyamas Explanation]<br>The financial markets are agitated by the reciprocal tariffs announced by President Trump

<br><br>In response to President Trumps announcement on the 3rd that a 24% reciprocal tariff would be imposed on Japan, sell orders have surged, especially for automobile stocks, leading to an overall decline in the Tokyo market right after the start of trading.

<br><br>The Nikkei Stock Average saw a sharp drop of over 1,600 yen within about 10 minutes of the start of trading, marking the largest intraday decline this year.

In the market, there is a growing movement to avoid risks due to concerns that not only will the Japanese economy be hit by mutual tariffs, but if a tit-for-tat tariff exchange begins, the global economy as a whole could slow down.

Market participants perceive that the reciprocal tariffs were stricter than expected.

The uncertainty about whether there is room for the tax rate to decrease through future negotiations is also leading to investor anxiety, he says.
