โ ๐ Nikkei225 dives more than 4% on surprise Ishiba win
๐ The Nikkei225 index is down 4.2% this morning to 38.181 as of 910AM, while the Japanese yen surged after the ruling Liberal Democratic Party picked Shigeru Ishiba as their next leader over Sanae Takaichi who was favoured to win
โก The yen strengthened more than 1% to as much as 142.8 against the dollar, unwinding several days of declines on speculation over a Takaichi victory
Ishiba, who has served in several senior roles including defense minister, favors ramping up security arrangements in the region, an idea that risks further inflaming tensions with China
โ Takaichi meanwhile, has been an opponent of Bank of Japan's rate hikes, so his failure to win would have disappointed dovish investors
๐ญ Meanwhile, global sentiments may also be dampened today following the escalation of Middle East tensions after Israelโs killing of Hezbollahโs leader, in Beirut. The market may now be waiting to see how Iran will respond
