Nissan considers Foxconn EV output to save Oppama from closure, Nikkei says
TOKYO (Reuters) -Nissan Motor is in discussions with Taiwan's Foxconn about a collaboration in electric vehicles that could save its Oppama plant in Japan from closure, the Nikkei business daily reported on Sunday, citing an unidentified Nissan source.
Nissan's Oppama plant, which employs about 3,900 workers, has been a potential consolidation target in the struggling Japanese carmaker's restructuring plans, but the floated idea of producing Foxconn-brand EVs at its idle assembly lines could preserve the jobs and supplier networks, Nikkei said.

Japan's Nikkei falls on caution ahead of Trump tariff deadline
TOKYO: Japan's Nikkei share average fell on Monday as cautious investors weighed the details of US President Donald Trump's tariffs and their impact on corporate outlook. The Nikkei fell 0.46 per cent to 39,628.41 by the midday break, after opening marginally lower. The broader Topix fell 0.45 per cent to 2,815.36. "Investors turned bearish when they saw a small decline in the Nikkei and sold more stocks," said Shoichi Arisawa, general manager of the investment research department at IwaiCosmo Securities. "The market was awaiting any details of the US tariffs. Investors wanted to stay away from buying stocks until the details became clear," he said. The United States is close to finalizing several trade agreements in the coming days and will notify other countries of higher tariff rates by July 9, Trump said on Sunday, with the higher rates scheduled to take effect on August 1. Yaskawa Electric tanked 8.81 per cent to become the biggest percentage loser on the Nikkei. The machinery maker on Friday cut its annual operating profit forecast, citing uncertainties about the demand outlook due to the effect of US tariff policy. Yaskawa said it did not factor in the effect of US tariff policy when it made the forecast in April. Yaskawa's peers SMC Corporation and Fanuc lost 7.34 per cent and 3.23 per cent, respectively. Automakers fell, with Toyota Motor and Honda Motor dropping 1.11 per cent and 1.63 per cent, respectively. Nissan Motor slipped 4.35 per cent, following a local media report that the automaker is in discussions with Taiwan's Foxconn about electric vehicle collaboration that could save its Oppama plant in Japan from closure. Start-up investor SoftBank Group fell 1.64 per cent to become the biggest drag for the Nikkei. Chip-equipment maker Tokyo Electron slipped 0.68 per cent. Staffing agency Recruit Holdings rose 2.26 per cent to become the biggest support to the Nikkei.

Asia stocks slip amid US tariff confusion, oil skids
SYDNEY: Stock markets slipped in Asia amid much confusion as U.S. officials flagged a delay on tariffs but failed to provide any detail or paperwork on the change, while oil prices slid as OPEC+ opened the supply spigots more than expected. The United States is close to finalising several trade agreements in the coming days and will notify other countries of higher tariff rates by July 9, President Donald Trump said on Sunday, with the higher rates to take effect on August 1. "President Trump's going to be sending letters to some of our trading partners saying that if you don't move things along, then on August 1 you will boomerang back to your April 2 tariff level," U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNN. Trump in April announced a 10% base tariff rate on most countries and higher "reciprocal" rates ranging up to 50%, with an original deadline of this Wednesday. However, Trump also said levies could range in value from "maybe 60% or 70% tariffs to 10% and 20%", further clouding the picture. With very few actual trade deals done, analysts had suspected the date would be pushed out, though it was still not clear if the new deadline applied to all trading partners or just some. "This renewed escalation in trade tensions comes at a time when major trade partners, including the EU, India and Japan, are believed to be at crucial stages of bilateral negotiations," analysts at ANZ said in a note. "If reciprocal tariffs are implemented in their original form or even expanded, we believe it will intensify downside risks to U.S. growth and increase upside risks to inflation." Investors have grown somewhat used to the uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy and the initial market reaction was cautious. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures both eased 0.3%. Japan's Nikkei lost 0.3%, while South Korean stocks fell 0.7%. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan eased 0.1%. DOLLAR DOLDRUMS Safe-haven bonds were better bid, with 10-year Treasury yields down almost 2 basis points at 4.326%. Major currencies were little changed as the dollar index continued to languish near four-year lows at 96.913. The euro held at $1.1787, just off last week's top of $1.1830, while the dollar dipped to 144.38 yen. The dollar has been undermined by investor concerns about Trump's often chaotic tariff policy and what that might do to economic growth and inflation. The same worries have kept the Federal Reserve from cutting rates and minutes of its last meeting should offer more colour on when the majority of members might resume easing. It is a relatively quiet week for Fed speakers with only two district presidents on the docket, while economic data is also sparse. The Reserve Bank of Australia is widely expected to cut its rates by a quarter point to 3.60% at a meeting on Tuesday, the third easing this cycle, and markets imply an eventual destination for rates of 2.85% or 3.10%. New Zealand's central bank meets on Wednesday and is likely to hold rates at 3.25%, having already slashed by 225 basis points over the past year. In commodity markets, gold slipped 0.3% to $3,324 an ounce , though it did gain almost 2% last week as the dollar fell. Oil prices slid anew after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and their allies, a group known as OPEC+, agreed on Saturday to raise production by a larger-than-expected 548,000 barrels per day in August. The group also warned that it could hike by a similar amount in September, leaving analysts with the impression it was trying to squeeze lower margin producers and particularly those pulling oil from U.S. shale. Brent dropped 52 cents to $67.78 a barrel, while U.S. crude fell $1.01 to $65.99 per barrel. - Reuters

Ringgit opens higher vs US$ ahead of Bank Negara policy meeting
KUALA LUMPUR: The ringgit opened higher against the US dollar on Monday as investors adopt a cautious mode ahead of Bank Negara Malaysia's (BNM) monetary policy committee (MPC) meeting on July 9, 2025, amid growing expectations of a potential overnight policy rate (OPR) cut, said an analyst. At 8 am, the local note rose to 4.2060/2320 against the greenback from Friday's close of 4.2180/2260. Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid said the OPR might be reduced by 25 basis points as heightened economic uncertainties could potentially affect the second half's growth momentum. "So there is a clear justification for BNM to support growth,' Mohd Afzanizam told Bernama. He also noted that traders will also remain cautious vis-a-vis the greenback as investors and traders await clarity ahead of the United States (US) tariff pause deadline, which is also on July 9. "All eyes will be on the July 9, 2025 deadline with regards the US tariff which has been paused for 90 days since April 9 this year. "At the same time, OPEC+ members have agreed to increase their oil production by 548,000 barrels per day in August 2025, suggesting that oil producers are committed to restoring global oil supplies," he said. In light of the ongoing tariff uncertainty, Mohd Afzanizam said the ringgit is expected to trade cautiously between the RM4.22 and RM4.23 range today. "The ringgit appreciated by 0.3 per cent week-on-week against the US dollar last week, strengthening to as high as RM4.1980 on July 1," he added. At the opening, the ringgit was higher against a basket of major currencies. It firmed against the Japanese yen to 2.9115/9297 from 2.9225/9282, strengthened versus the British pound to 5.7412/7767 from 5.7601/7710, and appreciated against the euro to 4.9542/9849 from 4.9675/9770. The local note also advanced against most ASEAN currencies. It improved vis-à-vis the Singapore dollar to 3.3006/3213 from 3.3114/3182, strengthened against the Thai baht to 12.9823/13.0730 from 13.0302/0609, inched up against the Indonesian rupiah at 259.8/261.5 from 260.6/261.2, and rose against the Philippine peso to 7.45/7.50 from 7.47/7.49 previously. - Bernama
