Yahoo Finance correspondent Chen Yimin reported on June 14, 2024, that with the Bank of Japan maintaining the benchmark interest rate range at 0% to 0.1%, the Japanese Yen depreciated, leading to Taisugar offering a favorable exchange rate, enticing students planning graduation trips to Japan. Amid the graduation season, the plummeting yen has some college students considering a trip to Japan instead of saving. With the Bank of Japan keeping rates unchanged, the yen hit a low of 157.98 yen against the dollar, and Taisugar's yen exchange rate hit a new low of 0.2086, making students excited about the opportunity. Exchanging 50,000 yen now yields 23,9693 yen, compared to 22,3613 yen in December last year, enabling the ability to enjoy 20 extra bowls of ramen at the current exchange rate. Additionally, while Japan plans to reduce its monthly bond purchases, the decision on scaling back the bond-buying program will only be made after the July meeting following the March resolution.

During President Xi Jinping's visit to France in May, the EU announced an increase in import tariffs on electric vehicles from China to as high as 48%. In response, China vowed to take 'all necessary measures' to protect its interests, but experts warn that China must be cautious in its retaliation to avoid sparking a more severe trade war. Potential retaliatory actions by China may focus on agricultural products from EU countries like dairy and pork, with reports suggesting investigations into EU imports of pork and consideration of a 25% tariff on EU imported vehicles with large engines. China may also target specific EU countries with pressure tactics instead of a broad response. While the EU's increased tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles may not have a significant impact due to Chinese companies' ability to profit and plans to build factories in the EU to reduce tariff impacts, experts suggest China will want to avoid overreacting to ensure its electric vehicle production can still access the European market without inciting a trade war. Additionally, China has threatened retaliation against EU's aviation and agricultural industries if tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles proceed. There are also discussions of potential large orders with Airbus in France. Economists warn that China may eventually resort to retaliatory measures despite current delays in retaliation actions.
