After riding a five-quarter growth streak, Japanese companies hit the brakes on capital spending this summer. Corporate confidence is clearly wobbling under the pressure of escalating U.S. tariffs. The pullback marks a shift in sentiment—what was once expansion mode is now caution. Trade friction is starting to bite, and businesses are rethinking their investment appetite as external headwinds intensify.
