Takaichi trade gets a rethink one year on as bond appeal grows

One year into Sanae Takaichi's tenure as Prime Minister of Japan, market participants are reassessing the prevailing trading strategy that dominated her first year in office. The dominant market approach, which involved buying stocks and selling bonds, is no longer considered straightforward.

The shift in sentiment is driven by a growing appeal for Japanese bonds, marking a notable departure from the previous year's investment trends under Takaichi's administration.
