Japanese stocks surged to a record high as markets opened on Monday following Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) securing a historic victory in the national election. The LDP won 316 out of 465 seats, marking the first time a single party has achieved a two-thirds lower house majority since 1947. Takaichi’s electoral triumph is attributed to her consolidation of support among conservatives and younger voters by emphasizing traditional values and modern appeal. Analysts believe her success will drive continued bullish trends in the markets, buoyed by anticipated stimulus and deregulation efforts aimed at revitalizing Japan’s economy.
