Japan's PM Ishiba says he will stay in office despite election loss
Mr Ishiba's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its junior coalition partner Komeito were three seats short of maintaining a majority in the 248-seat upper house in Sunday's vote. The coalition is now a minority in both houses of the Diet, or parliament, though the LDP is still the leading party. Mr Ishiba said he takes the result seriously but that his priority is to avoid creating a political vacuum and to tackle impending challenges, including the August 1 deadline for a tariff deal with the US. 'While I painfully feel my serious responsibility over the election results, I believe I must also fulfil my responsibility I bear for the country and the people so as not to cause politics to stall or go adrift,' Mr Ishiba said. 'Challenges such as global situation and natural disaster won't wait for a better political situation.' His chief tariff negotiator, economic minister Ryosei Akazawa, is heading to Washington for his eighth round of talks. The prime minister hopes to reach a mutually beneficial deal and meet with US President Donald Trump 'as soon as possible', he said. Sunday's vote comes after Mr Ishiba's coalition lost a majority in the October lower house election, stung by past corruption scandals, and his unpopular government has since been forced into making concessions to the opposition to get legislation through parliament. It has been unable to quickly deliver effective measures to mitigate rising prices, including Japan's traditional staple of rice, and dwindling wages. Mr Trump has added to the pressure, complaining about a lack of progress in trade negotiations and the lack of sales of US cars and American-grown rice to Japan despite a shortfall in domestic stocks of the grain. A 25% tariff due to take effect on August 1 has been another blow for Mr Ishiba. At a news conference on Monday, Mr Ishiba said his LDP and the Komeito have agreed to stick with their coalition while seeking further co-operation from opposition parties. Mr Ishiba resisted calls for his resignation and did not say how much longer he planned to stay on. He is sticking around for the country and the people, not for self-interest, 'to put the pressing issues on a path to a solution', he said. Voters frustrated with price increases exceeding the pace of wage hikes rapidly turned to emerging conservative and right-wing populist parties. The Democratic Party for the People quadrupled its seats by campaigning for higher take-home pay. The right-wing Sanseito, running on a 'Japanese First' platform that includes stricter regulations on foreigners and traditional gender roles, surged to number three in the opposition. The LDP has lost support due to the people's discontent over the party's measures for rising prices, foreign residents and other reasons and he will 'quickly analyse the results and learn the lesson', Mr Ishiba said. None of the opposition parties said they were open to co-operating with the governing coalition. CDPJ leader Yoshihiko Noda told broadcaster NHK that his priority is to form an alliance among the opposition. 'Public opinion clearly said 'no' to the Ishiba government,' Mr Noda said. Sanseito leader Sohei Kamiya told NHK late on Sunday he is open to co-operating with the ruling bloc on conservative policies. While he said his party did better than expected, he would wait to gain more seats in the other house in the next election and attempt to form a multi-party coalition like in Europe.

Russia's Severstal blames high rates and low prices for 55% Q2 profit plunge
MOSCOW, July 21 (Reuters) - Severstal, one of Russia's top steelmakers, blamed the high key interest rate for a 15% drop in demand for metals in the first half of 2025, which, along with low prices, resulted in a 55% fall in the company's net profit in the second quarter. Last year, the central bank hiked its key interest rate to 21%, the highest level since the early 2000s, as it fights inflation. The regulator started cutting rates last month and is expected to cut further at a rate-setting meeting this week. The central bank's tight monetary policy led to a sharp economic slowdown in Russia, with the construction industry—one of the main consumers of steel—hit particularly hard. "The second quarter of 2025 was extremely challenging for both the metals industry and the entire Russian economy," said Severstal's CEO Alexander Shevelev. The company said it will not pay dividends in order to maintain financial stability. "The high key interest rate is restraining demand for metal products, which decreased by 15% year-on-year in the first half of the year due to reduced consumption in the construction, engineering, and energy sectors," Shevelev added. Shevelev stressed that the strong rouble, which rallied by 45% against the U.S. dollar this year, was restricting its access to export markets. Shevelev earlier said that some steel factories in Russia could close down to balance the market. The company welcomed the expected interest rate cut at the meeting on July 25, stressing in its financial results' presentation that the cut will have a positive impact on the demand for steel. Net profit in the second quarter fell to 15.7 billion roubles ($200.3 million), down 55% year-over-year.
