Japanese stocks surged to unprecedented heights while bonds declined and the yen experienced volatility after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's decisive win in Sunday's snap election.
The victory strengthens Takaichi's position within the LDP and empowers her to advance an agenda focused on Japan's geopolitical alliances and economic security. Analysts predict short-term market adjustments, with expectations of a weaker yen and possibly heightened bond yields.
