[Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary is satisfied with the implementation of the Japan-US tariff agreement, and the yen rose in the short term] Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said that he was pleased with the continued implementation of the tariff agreement between Japan and the United States. He emphasized that the agreement is a sign of stable economic cooperation between the two countries. Hayashi pointed out that so far, both governments have abided by the commitments in the agreement, which aims to make trade flows smoother and reduce friction in sensitive areas. Analyst Eamonn Sheridan said that Hayashi's remarks came at a time when global trade tensions remain serious, especially on tariff issues related to strategic industries. Hayashi's remarks indicate that Japan intends to emphasize the predictability and reliability of Japan-US economic relations, although broader issues between the two sides, from agricultural trade to supply chain security, remain unresolved. The government believes that the tariff agreement is an important foundation for maintaining the momentum of development in relations between the two countries. After Hayashi's remarks, the US dollar/Japanese yen USD/JPY fell about 20 points in the short term.
