Japan's $550 billion investment package agreed in this week's U.S. tariff deal could help finance a Taiwanese firm building semiconductor plants in the U.S., Japan's top trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa said on Saturday.

The New York Yankees' two-year nightmare at the hot corner is finally over. And that comes at the expense of the Colorado Rockies.

This week's U.S. trade agreement with Japan could provide a framework for a pact with the European Union, experts say.

The deal imposes 15% tariffs on Japanese cars and other goods, one of the more favorable rates. While the start date and other basic elements are still unknown, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned this week that the US would monitor implementation and bump the rate up to 25% if Trump isn’t satisfied.

Among the strongest performers, Thermo Fisher Scientific rose 12%, topping the leaderboard for large-cap stocks, followed by T-Mobile US, up 9%.

The EU says its negotiators are working "might and main" on a deal, but the decision rests with US President Trump.

The White House factsheet on the trade deal mentions that Japan will also buy 100 Boeing Co. planes as well as US defense equipment worth additional billions of dollars annually. Akazawa said both these pledges were based on existing plans by Japanese airlines and the government, respectively.

President Donald Trump’s trade deals are illegal, Piper Sandler flatly declares in a new research note. The investment bank analyzed ongoing court battles and legislative authority, and concluded that Trump’s reliance on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose wide-ranging tariffs and cut bilateral deals far exceeds the powers granted by Congress.
