Japan’s stock market will likely get support while the yen and long-term government bonds come under pressure following the surprise victory of pro-stimulus Sanae Takaichi. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/10/05/markets/takaichi-win-stocks-yen-bonds/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #sanaetakaichi #nikkei #stocks #yen #currencies #bonds #ldp

Let’s salute the landmark currency agreement of 40 years ago. Getting such a deal today would be a mighty struggle. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/09/22/japan/the-plaza-accord-still-the-gold-standard/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #plazaaccord #jamesbaker #usdollar #yen #japaneseeconomy #useconomy #currencies

The Japan Times

Why the Plaza Accord is still the gold standard

Rather than grieve Plaza, salute it. The deal reflected a confluence of national interest, diplomatic nous and a sense that common interests dictated collaboration.
