Core Viewpoint - Moody's economist Stefan Angrick suggests that the recently announced US-Japan trade agreement may face reevaluation if Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe resigns following the ruling coalition's loss of majority in the Senate [1] Group 1 - The US-Japan trade agreement has gained attention, but more dramatic developments may occur in Japanese politics [1] - The ruling coalition in Japan recently lost its majority in the Senate, significantly impacting Prime Minister Abe [1] - Angrick believes that the Abe government intentionally delayed the signing of the trade agreement until after the elections [1] Group 2 - Abe previously framed the tariff crisis as a national emergency requiring bipartisan cooperation, which served as a justification for his continued leadership [1] - As the threat of tariffs diminishes, the rationale for Abe's leadership is becoming increasingly unstable [1] - If Abe resigns, his successor may reconsider the agreement, which has been criticized by the opposition as a "one-sided concession" [1]
