🇯🇵 Japan on Edge: Markets Brace for Power Shift

[theSignalyst]

With frontrunners split between stimulus vs fiscal restraint, investors are taking sides: the Nikkei is climbing, bond yields are swinging, and the yen is weakening ahead of the decision.
A win for a “pro-stimulus” candidate could send the yen even lower while boosting equities — setting up a volatile week ahead.
