Yen Surges as Ishiba Wins LDP Election, Signaling Potential Shift from Abenomics

The Japanese yen strengthened to the 142 range against the US dollar after former Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba won the ruling Liberal Democratic Party election in Japan, defeating economic security minister Sanae Takaichi, who is known for advocating monetary easing policies. This victory potentially paves the way for Ishiba, who supports normalizing Japan’s monetary policy, to become the next prime minister, signaling a possible shift away from the “Abenomics” approach supported by Takaichi.

米ドルに対する日本円の価値が142円台まで上昇した。これは、金融緩和政策を支持する高市早苗経済安全保障相を破り、石破茂元防衛相が自民党総裁選に勝利したことを受けてのことだった。この勝利により、金融政策の正常化を支持する石破氏が次期首相になる道が開かれ、高市氏が支持していた「アベノミクス」路線からの転換が示唆された。
