oooof... i have no freaking idea. supposedly the yen will stabilize, maybe start to strengthen over a long period of time, if takaichi wins with a large majority. her spending plans may be mostly priced in(?) if her win margin is smaller (and she has to form a coalition with other parties), OR she loses, the other candidates are promising more spending and tax cuts, investors will see that as more inflation ahead and could start dumping Japanese bonds, which would be bearish yen. BoJ has said they'll intervene if that happens, they have the US bonds and equities on hand to transfer to yen and buy those bonds back. my theory (although i have no way of knowing) is they have been pulling out of some of their market positions this week under guidance from the Treasury, but who knows... doing it all at one time would set off a panic. as for USD and yen, it could all fluctuate really quickly, especially bc of the China/Iran/Greenland/Euro tensions in the background
