A potent political-economic catalyst triggered a historic market surge across Asia on Monday. The Nikkei 225 soared past 57,000 for the first time, gaining 3.4% after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi secured a decisive supermajority in Japan’s general election, according to Nikkei Asia.
Investors immediately embraced the clear mandate for Takaichi’s aggressive fiscal agenda. This includes a massive $135 billion stimulus package targeting infrastructure and tax cuts.
Consequently, the “Takaichi Trade” ignited a powerful Ripple effect in global asset prices. Gold prices skyrocketed past the $5,000 per ounce milestone, while bitcoin briefly touched $72,000 before stabilizing above $70,000.
International approval bolstered the market euphoria from overseas. Both President Donald Trump and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent congratulated the Prime Minister on her victory.
This global momentum follows a record-breaking session on Wall Street. The Dow Jones Industrial Average itself had just breached 50,000 for the first time on Friday.
