The levies specifically target consumer and industrial goods, including <strong>alcohol, cement, and hockey equipment<\/strong>. Prime Minister Carney has already directed negotiators to return to Ottawa and vowed to match the new tariffs &quot;dollar for dollar&quot; to protect Canadian interests.<\/p>\n<h2>Japan Doubles Down on Semiconductor Sovereignty<\/h2>\n<p>Japan\u2019s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is intensifying its support for <strong>Rapidus<\/strong>, the nation&#39;s advanced chipmaking startup. The ministry will request <strong>150 billion yen ($944 million)<\/strong> in the fiscal 2027 budget to bolster the company&#39;s capital base. This move is designed to encourage lending from top commercial banks as the firm races toward mass-producing <strong>2-nanometer chips<\/strong> by 2027.<\/p>\n<p>In a related move to secure supply chains, <strong>Tokuyama (<a href=\"\/stock\/4043\">TYO:4043<\/a>)<\/strong> has inaugurated a new polysilicon manufacturing plant in <strong>Vietnam<\/strong>. The company is also expanding its footprint in <strong>Malaysia<\/strong> through a joint venture with <strong>OCI<\/strong>. These strategic moves aim to minimize supply chain risks for critical chip materials amid surging demand for AI-driven hardware.<\/p>\n<h2>Market Volatility: Crypto Liquidations and Energy Shifts<\/h2>\n<p>The cryptocurrency market experienced a &quot;flash&quot; deleveraging event this morning, with <strong>$550 million in long positions wiped out<\/strong> within a single hour. This massive liquidation follows a period of high leverage and comes as broader geopolitical tensions weigh on risk assets. Analysts noted that the speed of the slide left little room for traders to react, triggering a cascade of automated margin calls.<\/p>\n<p>In the energy sector, <strong>China<\/strong> has successfully tested its upgraded <strong>S4000 airborne wind system<\/strong>. The stratospheric system passed a full-flight test, potentially opening a new frontier for renewable energy by capturing more consistent, high-altitude winds. Meanwhile, the <strong>Iran war<\/strong> continues to reshape the automotive landscape; while <strong>China&#39;s<\/strong> domestic EV growth is cooling, its exports have surged as high gasoline prices drive a doubling of EV sales in markets like <strong>Vietnam, Brazil, and Australia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Corporate Strategy: Toyota and the Future of Flight<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Toyota (<a href=\"\/stock\/TM\">TM<\/a>)<\/strong> is accelerating its diversification into the aerospace sector through its deepening partnership with <strong>Joby Aviation (<a href=\"\/stock\/JOBY\">JOBY<\/a>)<\/strong>. The two companies have launched the initial phase of a strategic manufacturing alliance. Toyota, already the largest shareholder in Joby, is leveraging its production expertise to standardize the manufacturing of electric vertical takeoff and landing (<strong>eVTOL<\/strong>) aircraft, aiming to make &quot;air mobility for all&quot; a commercial reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways U.S.-Canada trade negotiations have collapsed, triggering 50%
