Sanae Takaichi's unexpected win as Japan's new prime minister has reignited investor enthusiasm, reminiscent of Shinzo Abe's tenure, with expectations of stimulus policies potentially boosting stocks while maintaining a fragile yen. Takaichi, a supporter of 'Abenomics', advocates for increased spending and tax cuts, resulting in a surge in Japanese shares to record highs. However, analysts caution that current economic conditions, including rising inflation and high debt levels, present challenges that differ significantly from Abe's era, leaving limited room for aggressive fiscal policies.
