On April 3, the Australian bond market has experienced a dovish turn since the White House announced its new tariff agenda. IG market analyst Tony Sycamore said that the market has priced in an 85% chance that the Reserve Bank of Australia will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in May. Subsequent rate cuts are expected in August and November, with a cumulative rate cut of 75 basis points by November. He added that US tariffs have far exceeded expectations, increasing the likelihood of a trade war and recession in the United States. He also said that since goods from countries such as Vietnam are now effectively shut out of the United States, cheap goods are expected to flood other Asian markets.Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi declined to comment when asked about the possibility of retaliation against U.S. tariffs.Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi: We believe that the recent US tariff measures may have a significant impact on the multilateral trading system, and we strongly call on the United States to exclude Japan from these measures.Japanese Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Yoji Muto: The online meeting with US counterparts was held before the tariffs were announced.Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Yoji Muto: We have told the United States that tariff measures may hinder Japanese companies investment in the United States.

Musk Asserts, "Tesla Is Always on My Attention" in Response to Twitter Distraction Concerns

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), stated on Thursday, "Tesla is always on my mind" in an effort to assuage investor concerns that he may be distracted by a Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) transaction that has weighed on the company's stock price.


Tweeting a picture of a woman (Tesla) concerned by her boyfriend's (Elon's) interest in another woman, he stated, "This may appear to be the case, but it is not."


"To be clear, I am devoting approximately 5 percent of my time to the Twitter acquisition. It requires no rocket science! "He sent a tweet.


"Yesterday, Giga Texas existed; today, Starbase does. Tesla is constantly on my mind."


Musk's rocket business SpaceX has a launch site near Boca Chica, Texas, known as Starbase. This year, Tesla established a new factory in Texas.


Tesla shares have lost one-third of their value since the billionaire disclosed his Twitter position in early April and sold $8.5 billion worth of Tesla shares to help finance his $44-billion Twitter transaction.


China's lockdown restrictions, which hampered Tesla's manufacturing, and Tesla's exclusion from a widely regarded S&P sustainability index weighed further on the stock market.


Tesla bull Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives reduced Tesla's share price estimate on Thursday owing to the China production setback and warned of "distraction risks" from Musk's Twitter agreement.


Major Tesla investor Leo KoGuan demanded on Thursday that the electric car manufacturer repurchase shares.


"Tesla must announce immediately and buy back $5 billion of Tesla shares from its free cash flow this year and $10 billion from its free cash flow next year, without affecting its existing $18 billion cash reserves with ZERO debt," KoGuan said in a Twitter message to Martin Viecha, Tesla's head of investor relations.


Viecha was unavailable for quick comment.


KoGuan, the third largest individual stakeholder in Tesla, stated last year that he was investing billions in the company because he believed in Musk's "great objective, which I share." In March, he stated that he was purchasing further Tesla shares and not selling during the stock's decline.
