The Japanese stock market is predicted to rise today, following the gains on Wall Street last Friday. Positive sentiment from the US stock market provided a strong initial boost for Japanese investors to regain optimism. Nikkei futures on the SGX jumped 980 points to 48,475, indicating a potential reversal after last week's decline.
In addition to global factors, domestic news is also providing fresh air. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has reportedly reached an agreement to form a coalition with the Japan Innovation Party. If this plan goes through, the new LDP leader, Sanae Takaichi, could become Japan's first female prime minister. This move could pave the way for new economic stimulus policies.
Meanwhile, the dollar strengthened slightly against the yen to 150.87, up from 150.63 at the end of last week in New York. Previously, the Nikkei index closed down 1.4% at 47,582.15 on Friday. Now the market awaits a new direction: whether the combination of global and domestic political factors is strong enough to drive a revival in the Japanese stock market. (asd)
