Before the bell @ 9 AM – Tuesday, July 8th 2025

# As of writing, the good news is that the Japanese Nikkei 225, the Hang Seng and the Wall Street index futures are trading above the dotted lines even after US President Donald Trump announced that Japan will face a 25% tariff starting August 1st.

# The street is bit hopeful and easing investors’ concerns is the fact that the August 1st deadline allows more time for negotiations. Moreover, the 25% tariff starting August 1st is lower than the previously threatened rate of up to 35%.

# Our call of the day suggests that tariff volatility is back on the front pages and the negative takeaway is that there is no end in sight for tariff uncertainties.

# Long story short: Proceed with caution at Dalal Street as Trump Reboots the Tariff Trade.
