The New York Yankees' two-year nightmare at the hot corner is finally over. And that comes at the expense of the Colorado Rockies.

Japan's $550 billion investment package agreed in this week's U.S. tariff deal could help finance a Taiwanese firm building semiconductor plants in the U.S., Japan's top trade negotiator Ryosei Akazawa said on Saturday.

The agreements have been overshadowed by U.S. firms' warnings that the tariffs will affect their bottom lines and prolong uncertainty in the economy.

Among the strongest performers, Thermo Fisher Scientific rose 12%, topping the leaderboard for large-cap stocks, followed by T-Mobile US, up 9%.

Investors are hopeful a potential trade deal between the U.S. and European Union could bring more certainty to markets ahead of next Friday's tariffs deadline.

Nearly every member of the European Union supports a plan to hit back against President Trump’s tariffs if no agreement is reached.

The White House factsheet on the trade deal mentions that Japan will also buy 100 Boeing Co. planes as well as US defense equipment worth additional billions of dollars annually. Akazawa said both these pledges were based on existing plans by Japanese airlines and the government, respectively.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said there was a 50-50 chance that the United States would reach a trade agreement with the European Union. Trump spoke to reporters as he left the White House to head to Scotland for several days of golfing and bilateral meetings.

President Trump has threatened to impose a 30% tariff on imports from the European Union's 27 member countries if no trade deal is reached by Aug. 1.

The deal imposes 15% tariffs on Japanese cars and other goods, one of the more favorable rates. While the start date and other basic elements are still unknown, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned this week that the US would monitor implementation and bump the rate up to 25% if Trump isn’t satisfied.

Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said his country was "very close" to a trade deal with the U.S., but officials in Washington did not mention any timeline.
