Core Viewpoint - The unexpected victory of Takashi Sannae in the Liberal Democratic Party presidential election has led to a trend of yen depreciation in the foreign exchange market, with the yen falling to the 152 yen per dollar range, raising concerns about potential further depreciation [2][6]. Group 1: Market Reactions - Following Takashi's election, several foreign financial institutions retracted their "buy yen" recommendations, citing increased uncertainty regarding the timing of the next Bank of Japan interest rate hike [4]. - Speculative funds that had previously bet on yen appreciation were forced to close some of their long positions, resulting in the yen's decline to the mid-150 yen per dollar range [6]. Group 2: Economic Policy Implications - Takashi is viewed as a successor to the "Abenomics" approach, which combines financial and fiscal policies, leading to expectations of a weaker yen [6]. - Predictions suggest that the yen's depreciation may be limited to around 155 yen per dollar, influenced by fiscal policy scenarios and the relationship between long-term bond yields and the yen exchange rate [8][10]. Group 3: Fiscal Policy and Bond Yields - If Takashi implements her proposed fiscal measures, such as gasoline tax cuts and additional tax rebates, the 30-year bond yield could rise by approximately 0.15%, potentially increasing the term premium and affecting the yen's value [8]. - The term premium has been rising, with a noted correlation between the increase in the term premium and the depreciation of the yen, particularly during the recent upper house elections [7]. Group 4: Future Considerations - The market is closely watching the appointment of the next Japanese finance minister, as changes in government could impact fiscal policy direction and the yen's trajectory [11]. - There is a prevailing sentiment that extreme yen depreciation is unlikely, as Takashi is perceived to distance herself from excessive fiscal expansion, supported by comments from her close associates [10].

Core Viewpoint - The election of Kishi Sanae has revealed potential weaknesses, with significant market reactions indicating both optimism and concern regarding her economic policies and political challenges [1][3]. Economic Policy - Kishi's economic stance continues the "Abenomics" approach, advocating for monetary easing and increased fiscal spending, but Japan is currently facing around 3% inflation, which poses a risk of further inflation if such policies continue [3][10]. - The Japanese stock market surged 5% to a historical high of 47,000 points following her election, while the yen depreciated sharply, falling below 150 against the dollar, and long-term bond yields reached their highest since 2008, indicating a split sentiment in the markets [1][3]. Political Landscape - Kishi faces political challenges as the ruling Liberal Democratic Party has lost its absolute majority in both houses, making it difficult to push through policies without cooperation from opposition parties [3][10]. - Her strong nationalist stance complicates potential collaborations with centrist parties, as her right-wing positions are largely unacceptable to them [3][5]. Foreign Relations - Kishi's foreign policy is marked by a strong nationalist image, particularly regarding China and Taiwan, which has led to domestic controversy and could strain international relations [5][10]. - Trump's congratulatory message mistakenly referred to Kishi as Japan's first female Prime Minister, highlighting a misunderstanding of Japanese political structure and potentially complicating U.S.-Japan relations [7][9]. - China has proactively responded to Kishi's election with three clear demands regarding historical issues and Taiwan, setting a cautious tone for future Sino-Japanese relations [9][10]. Broader Implications - Kishi's victory does not signify a new beginning but rather the continuation of existing challenges, including economic pressures, political divisions, and diplomatic complexities [10].
