Asian stock markets climbed Monday, with Tokyo reaching a new record high following Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s election win. Other regional markets also posted gains, supported by a strong rally on Wall Street.
Investors responded positively to Takaichi’s victory, which is seen as a stabilizing factor for Japan’s economic policies. The broader Asian market momentum reflected optimism from recent U.S. market performance.
**Why this matters**
Takaichi’s win may influence Japan’s economic direction and investor confidence, impacting regional markets. The positive sentiment in Asia, aligned with Wall Street gains, suggests increased risk appetite among investors amid ongoing global economic uncertainties.
