A potential tie-up between the two parties would bring them within two seats of a lower house majority, significantly increasing the likelihood of Takaichi’s appointment. Known for her nationalist stance and support for loose monetary policy, Takaichi is viewed by investors as market-friendly, raising hopes for continued fiscal stimulus.
Market Reaction: Yen Slips while Equities Market Bolstered
The Nikkei 225 extended its rally for a third consecutive session this week, rebounding from last week’s sharp pullback as optimism grows over policy continuity and stimulus measures.
In foreign exchange markets, the Japanese yen softened slightly, with USD/JPY hovering near the key 151.00 support level. The yen remains one of the weakest-performing major currencies recently, as investors bet that the political shift could keep the Bank of Japan on a cautious policy path.
While coalition negotiations remain fluid, the outcome of the October 21 vote will be closely watched for its impact on Japan’s fiscal and monetary trajectory.
