Trump Threatens Japan; Powell Mulls July Rate Cut; Starmer Weakened | Daybreak Europe 07/02/2025

Bloomberg Daybreak Europe is your essential morning viewing to stay ahead. Live from London, we set the agenda for your day, catching you up with overnight markets news from the US and Asia. And we’ll tell you what matters for investors in Europe, giving you insight before trading begins.

On today’s show, stocks in Tokyo fall after Donald Trump threatens 35% tariffs on Japan in a dispute over rice exports. The US President also says there won’t be an extension to the July 9th deadline for higher tariffs.

Jerome Powell says the Fed would have cut interest rates by now were it not for the trade war, but he hasn’t ruled out a cut in July.

Plus the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is weakened after a battle with Labour Party rebels. His welfare reform bill passed parliament, but with all of the savings removed, leaving a potential £5 billion hole in the government finances.
