HONG KONG (Reuters) -Japan's Nissan Motor has raised $4.52 billion in U.S. dollar- and euro-denominated senior unsecured bonds, according to a term sheet reviewed by Reuters on Friday, with the proceeds intended to refinance existing debt. The issuance comes about a week after Reuters reported that Nissan has asked some suppliers to allow it to delay payments to free up short-term funds, highlighting its scramble to boost cash. According to the term sheet, $3 billion was raised through three U.S. dollar tranches with 5-, 7-, and 10-year maturities, while a further 1.3 billion euros ($1.52 billion) were issued in four- and eight-year tranches.

The Indian rupee weakened on Thursday on the back of dollar bids from foreign banks and a broadly stronger greenback, after U.S. President Donald Trump continued to up the ante on tariffs by announcing a 35% levy on Canadian imports starting August 1. Trump also said he plans to impose tariffs of 15% or 20% on most other trading partners and that the European Union could receive a letter declaring the applicable rate by Friday. While market reaction to tariff threats has become more subdued compared to earlier in the year, analysts reckon that the uncertainty may continue to dampen risk appetite.

​​The Canadian dollar weakened sharply after President Trump ramped up the threat of higher tariffs against Canada, but recouped losses after White House officials clarified that the exemption in compliance with the USMCA trade pact would remain in place.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) -The U.S. dollar rose on Friday, fuelled by upheavals in the global trade landscape, as U.S. President Donald Trump announced more import tariffs, ranging from 35% on neighbouring Canada to plans for blanket levies of 15% or 20% on most trade partners. Most currencies initially held in tight ranges in early Asian trade, though the dollar gained ground later after Trump's latest comments boosted uncertainty over his evolving trade measures. The Canadian dollar was down 0.27% at C$1.3693, following a knee-jerk fall of more than 0.5% after Trump unveiled a tariff rate of 35% on imports from the neighbour, starting August 1.

The dollar gained on the euro and the Canadian currency as Trump issued a letter late on Thursday that a 35% tariff rate on all imports from Canada would apply from August 1, adding the European Union would receive a letter by Friday. The U.S. president, whose global wave of tariffs has upended businesses and policymaking, floated a blanket 15% or 20% tariff rate on other countries, a step up from the current 10% baseline rate.

This week, the default reflex on Wall Street, without any economic data or major market news to react to, and even with now-routine White House tariff edicts, was to buy. U.S. President Donald Trump's latest trade salvo was a 50% tariff on goods from Brazil. It started with the focus on Trump's well-advertised July 9 tariff deadline.
