Global equity markets surged to record highs on Tuesday, propelled by a rally in Japan following Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's decisive election victory. Investor confidence was bolstered by expectations of fiscal stimulus and political stability.

The Nikkei 225 index soared by 2.3%, marking a notable increase for the third consecutive session. Market analysts attribute this gain to stimulus hopes and optimism about Japan's economic growth. Meanwhile, the MSCI All-Country World Index climbed 0.2% to reach a new peak.
