TOKYO -- U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed tariffs on nations around the world in the first months of his second term to revive American manufacturing, rattling Asian economies that rely heavily on exports for prosperity.
The unilateral U.S. moves -- which include country-by-country blanket levies known as "reciprocal" tariffs, and duties on specific items such as steel and automobiles -- are causing major disruptions to the global economy, where close links in supply chains have become the norm for doing business.

Standard Chartered faces $2.7bn lawsuit over 1MDB allegations
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -- Liquidators for Malaysia's sovereign wealth fund 1MDB have sued Standard Chartered Bank in Singapore alleging it enabled fraud that led to more than $2.7 billion in financial losses more than 10 years ago. Standard Chartered on Tuesday said that it emphatically rejected the claims. The move is the latest in a wide-ranging effort to recover money belonging to 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), from which U.S. investigators say about $4.5 billion was stolen between 2009 and 2014 in a complex, globe-spanning scheme. Malaysian authorities have previously said there were billions of dollars more that were unaccounted for. Liquidators from financial services firm Kroll, which filed the lawsuit in the High Court of Singapore, said in a statement on Monday they were seeking to hold Standard Chartered accountable for its role in allegedly enabling fraud to be committed against 1MDB. Three companies in liquidation linked to 1MDB say Standard Chartered permitted over 100 intrabank transfers between 2009 and 2013 that helped conceal the flow of stolen funds. They also allege the bank chose to overlook obvious red flags in relation to the transfer of funds, resulting in the losses, the liquidators said. "According to this lawsuit, the transfers demonstrate serious breaches and control failings which ultimately enabled the theft of public funds by people operating at the highest levels of the Malaysian government during that period," the liquidators said. Standard Chartered said it had not yet received the legal filing documents. "Any claims by these companies are without merit and Standard Chartered will vigorously defend any lawsuit commenced by the liquidators," Standard Chartered said in a statement to Reuters. It added the liquidators had earlier publicly stated the firms involved were shell companies with no legitimate business and were linked to alleged 1MDB mastermind and fugitive Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low. Low has consistently denied wrongdoing. The liquidators said the funds that flowed through the Standard Chartered accounts included transfers to the personal bank account of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is serving a six-year prison sentence after being convicted of graft linked to 1MDB. The fund transfers also involved business payments and purchases of jewelry and luxury goods for Najib's wife and stepson, the liquidators said. Najib and his family members have consistently denied wrongdoing. The board of 1MDB welcomed the move by the court-appointed liquidators. "The Malaysian people were the true victims of this global fraud, and all parties are determined to hold every facilitator to account -- including financial institutions that failed in their most basic duties of vigilance and responsibility," a spokesperson for the board said. At least six countries, including Singapore and Switzerland, have launched investigations into 1MDB dealings in a global probe that has implicated banking and high-ranking officials worldwide, including Najib and executives from U.S. bank Goldman Sachs. Malaysia said last year it had recovered a total of 29 billion ringgit ($6.92 billion) in 1MDB assets between 2019 and February 2024. In 2016, Singapore's central bank imposed penalties of 5.2 million Singapore dollars on the local unit of Standard Chartered for money laundering breaches related to the 1MDB scandal. The Monetary Authority of Singapore said its investigations into Standard Chartered revealed "significant lapses in the bank's customer due diligence measures and controls for ongoing monitoring" but did not find "willful misconduct". Standard Chartered is facing a separate $1.9 billion lawsuit in London over allegations the lender broke U.S. sanctions against Iran in a more widespread way than it has previously admitted.

Large Japanese companies surprisingly optimistic as U.S. tariffs bite
Large Japanese businesses maintained optimism overall in the second quarter even as the United States implemented a range of new tariffs. According to the Bank of Japan's quarterly tankan survey, released Tuesday, the business sentiment index for large manufacturers improved to 13, up from 12 in the first quarter. The latest figure exceeded the average forecast of 10 by 15 think tanks. This was the first tankan survey conducted after U.S. President Donald Trump introduced 10% "reciprocal" tariffs and 25% tariffs on vehicles in April. Confidence among large companies in the auto industry, which is the backbone of the Japanese economy, dropped to 8 from 13 in the previous survey. "Although the tariff situation is still up in the air, the survey suggests there's a growing belief that if reciprocal tariffs stay at 10%, industries except for the auto sector wouldn't face major impacts," Koichi Fujishiro, an economist at the Dai-ichi Life Research Institute, wrote in a report on Tuesday. The tankan survey asks companies whether business conditions are 'favorable,' 'not so favorable" or 'unfavorable." Positive readings mean those answering "favorable" have outnumbered companies answering "unfavorable." As more than 99% of companies polled normally respond to the questionnaire, the data is considered to be of a very high quality and an accurate reflection of the situation on the ground. The latest survey polled nearly 9,000 companies between May 28 and June 30. The tankan shows small and medium-size manufacturers were not as optimistic as larger companies. The reading for medium-size manufacturers in the second quarter dropped to 10 from 11, while the figure for smaller companies declined to 1 from 2. Trade Minister Yoji Muto said at a news conference on Tuesday that it is still hard to gauge the impact of the auto tariffs, but some feedback to consultation desks set up by the ministry suggests that the tariffs have already affected some auto-related companies. Japan and the United States have made no significant progress in tariff negotiations despite months of dialogue. Japan is asking the U.S. to remove or lower the auto tariffs, but Trump appears to be unwilling to do so. The tankan showed that sentiment among large nonmanufacturers met the average forecast of 34, down slightly from 35 in the first quarter. Still, the figure is the highest in more than three decades. Strong confidence at nonmanufacturing companies is helped by booming inbound tourism, robust investment related to digital transformation, high construction demand and a recovery in consumption, Fujishiro pointed out. The tankan also indicates that the labor shortages are still serious, so more companies will be under pressure to offer higher wages to attract employees, which could justify a rate increase by the BOJ, Fujishiro added, saying that the bank may raise rates this month. The BOJ is scheduled to have a two-day policy meeting on July 30 and July 31. A Bloomberg survey of 53 BOJ watchers last month showed that nearly half of those surveyed believed that the bank will not raise rates this year given that it will take time to gauge the impact of U.S. tariffs.
