Additional quotes

Automobiles are mainstay of Japan’s export to the US, so should not have any pre-set idea on impact on Japan’s economy until trade talks with the US resolved.
Market reaction
At the time of writing, USD/JPY is 0.70% down on the day at 143.02, with the Japanese Yen unperturbed by these above comments.
