Japan’s elections just happened and things feel temporarily stable after the LDP win, kinda overshadowed by the Super Bowl, but markets are still watching closely.
As an argentine who’s lived 20+ years through a pretty messy economy, seeing young japanese people head abroad on W&H visas and hearing PM Takaichi say during the campaign that a weak yen is a major opportunity for export industries makes it all feel weirdly familiar, like I’ve seen this movie before.
