revealed a grim picture for the ruling party, the prime minister and president of the ldp shigeru ishiba said they must take the results humbly and seriously. that this is a quote. the two main factors thought to have contributed to these results are both the stronger corruption scandals that have been in the run—up to this election. as well as the economy which is seen rising prices and stagnant wages really get under the skin of voters for this election. another indication of the unhappiness of voters was voter turnout. the number this time round was 53.84%, the third lowest since world war ii. surprisingly, the markets have reacted in a positive fashion. the nikkei 225 trading higher, the yen still at a three—month low. i spoke to a global strategist who had some insight on the uncertainty that lies ahead for the world's number four economy. my biggest takeaway is there were already the factors in place forjapan�*s equity market to continue recovering. it's not particularly overvalued. at the same time, we have started to see some positive signals in the consumer sector. so as the ban
