日本首相石破慎太郎：完全没有讨论我的辞职。这与早些时候关于即将辞职的报道形成了鲜明对比。这一消息给日元带来了一点提振，但最重要的是他将如何让这笔交易获得批准。

Japan PM Ishiba: Did not discuss my resignation at all.This is in stark contrast with earlier reports about an imminent resignation. The news gave the yen a little boost but what matters the most is how is he going to get the deal approved.

据报道，日本首相石破茂决定辞职，为选举失利承担责任。没花多久。由于政府刚刚与美国达成协议，这一时机再糟糕不过了。

Japan PM Ishiba reportedly decides to resign to take responsibility for election loss.That didn't take long. And the timing of which couldn't be any worse as the government has just sorted out a deal with the US.

日本贸易和财政部周二宣布，日本已对来自中国和台湾的镍基不锈钢冷轧钢板和钢带展开反倾销调查。此举是在新日铁和其他国内生产商于5月12日提交请愿书后采取的，他们表示，国内需求下降迫使他们在大量廉价进口商品中降低价格。调查预计将在一年内结束，将决定是否应征收反倾销税。根据请愿书，进口价格比中国国内水平低20-50%，比台湾价格低3-20%。此次调查是在全球对中国钢铁产能过剩和出口补贴的担忧之际进行的，这些问题扭曲了全球市场。虽然其他国家对中国实施了反倾销措施，但日本尚未采取行动。与此同时，台湾经济部表示，将支持受影响的企业保护出口利益。

Japan has launched an anti-dumping investigation into nickel-based stainless cold-rolled steel sheets and strips from China and Taiwan, the trade and finance ministries announced Tuesday. The move follows a May 12 petition by Nippon Steel and other domestic producers, who say falling domestic demand has forced them to lower prices amid a flood of cheaper imports. The investigation, expected to conclude within a year, will determine whether anti-dumping duties should be imposed. According to the petition, imports were priced 20–50% below Chinese domestic levels and 3–20% below Taiwanese prices. The probe comes amid global concerns over Chinese steel overcapacity and subsidized exports, which have distorted global markets. While other countries have imposed anti-dumping measures against China, Japan has yet to act. Meantime, Taiwan’s economy ministry said it would support affected firms to protect export interests.
