India, South Korea, and Thailand are the AsiaPacific economies most vulnerable to possible tariff hikes under US President Donald Trumps administration, according to S&P Global Ratings. According to the study, these countries have more significant weighted average tariffs on U.S. goods than the U.S. imposes on imports from these countries. As such, they are more vulnerable to retaliatory tariffs the United States imposes. Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam may be most affected economically because of their high trade exposure to the U.S. market. India and Japan, on the other hand, have more domestically focused economies, which would provide some protection against these tariff effects. Read More..

After its unsuccessful merger negotiations with Honda, a highlevel Japanese group, including former Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, suggested that Tesla invest in Nissan.

Sugas office was unaware of the concept, and Mizuno denied involvement. Foxconn is promoting a fourway partnership with Honda, Nissan, and Mitsubishi to compete with Chinese EV manufacturers and Tesla. After the reports, Nissans stock jumped 9.6%, but neither Tesla nor Apple would respond, raising doubts about the viability of these relationship and investment ambitions. Read More..
