Market impact of Abe assassination is risk off, think it's likely the Liberal Democratic Party gains support in 10 Jul elections and moves to implement Abenomics-themed economic policies/hawkish foreign policy. Looking at upside potential for nuclear power industry and Japanese defense contractors.

> Short of completely ripping off ASML But they aren't. They are using a novel way of doing it distinctly different from ASML. From your link. "The machines fire lasers at molten tin 50,000 times per second, generating plasma at 200,000 degrees Celsius." That's LDP. ASML is LPP. > I'm skeptical they are even 5-10 years behind, likely more. That's what people said about China producing 7nm chips. Until they did. That's why it was the 7nm surprise.
I am a Japanese man. I have already voted against LDP and their cult sponsor and USA lapdog candidates for the last 5 years of my able to vote age. I alone can't change shit for my country, how the fuck can I even change USA? Might as well use my money to make sure that in case my country's economy drops down again I get at least safe financially. Also yeah gold rising lmao. Good luck thou.
LDP has been the main party in Japan since 1955 , only get interupted for 6 yearish inbetween before the cult start manipulating the political sphere again.
Jane Street will never know my favorite secret signature move of shortening the fuck out of the yen when LDP is the main party in Japan. It is totally secretive and mysterious.
237% due to international stocks which 20% of it gain can be attributed to European stocks that I selected last year. Most of the gain was either Asian Stocks or Latinx stocks thou. Will probably lower Nikkei exposures if the LDP protocols to keep Takaichi in check doesn't work.
Nah LDP can't even get the rice affordable let alone getting the normal people enough spare money to invest lmao. Can't even hope for Eur buying the dip when the President of America are still trying to take Greenland.
South Africa (EZA) Why? Gold is up & looks to stay up/government less crap than recent past. Europe (VGK) Why? General Sell America pickup. Did well enough to keep for diversification purposes. Spain (EWP) Has been run by a competent government recently. Actual population growth in Europe!! Japan (BBJP) General Sell America pickup. Did well enough to keep for diversification purposes. I might sell soon. We'll see if the new LDP leader is a steady hand or starts going wild. Mexico (FLMX) Capable new president. Somehow managing to hold off Trump crisis AND expand trade with everywhere other than the USA at the same time. ASEA (ASEA) General Sell America pickup + part of the Asia-Pac world economic hub. And the biggest part of my portfolio is Korea: EWY. 46% Samsung & SK Hynix and... some other stuff.... Picked it up last year post-coup because of the post-coup dip. Then things got really wild. Best investment decision I've ever made.
The desperate BOJ is trying to sell as much foreign bond as possible to control the YEN before the unavoidable 187 on the LDP regime. Can't wait for the yen to keep tanking next week because of the shit policies and stats lmao.
The majority of the exports are vehicles, electronics, nuclear-related equipment, and sometimes food. Don't worry just stock up a shit ton of exporter stocks like :Toyota, Sony, Subaru, Yamaha, and maybe some of the banks as simple examples. Also, I have successfully shorted both the YEN and USD so far. Not like there are actually any up sides for LDP leadership on the Yen or Donald Trump on the Dollar.
because voters are dumb. They keep reelecting the same LDP that has been government for 80 years?
LDP landslide is the tailwind the Nikkei needed, but keep an eye on the JGB 10-year. If yields sustain above 2.4%, the carry trade math gets messy regardless of the fiscal narrative.
LDP to cut rates, no carry trade, institutions predicted and hedged, USD weakening, honestly nothing of worry, this is exactly why the nikkei popped 4-5% in a single session
She is an LDP member. They suck up to USA more than a vacuum cleaner sucking the dust in your house. I doubt they will be angry on "screen".
An LDP win was expected, but the winning margin was unexpected. The LDP took a super majority in the lower house on their own.
> promptly tanked the economy their economy was tied to the US which straight up tanked the entire world with the housing bubble, save for a few like China who spent like crazy on infrastructure stimulus (and Australia by extension) their bad luck came with the earthquake and nuclear meltdown, after which the LDP returned with Abe but Abe's fiscal policies didn't really help out either and only made things worse, hence all the scapegoating against foreigners and it's probably going to get worse since her tax and budget policies have the makings of Liz Truss 2.0
Its a bit more complicated than that; the "LDP" is very much a (shifting) coalition of multiple parties. And the last time the Democratic Party got into power, they put a guy who proudly referred to himself as a space alien in as PM, who promptly tanked the economy and pissed off allies (namely the US). Can't blame the people for not wanting to try that again.
A wee different? LDP has been in power since 1955 apart from 4 years. The only difference with her campaign was she was blaming foreigners for everything.
Because everyone in the LDP has brain worms
Yen gonna skyrocket due to uncertainty with the LDP’s historic win. The dollar yen initially spiked on the win but now crashing back down.
Yen got inflated as usual LDP policies.
Japan's LDP win could be the catalyst for yen weakness and equity inflows, especially if Takaichi pushes fiscal spending over rate hikes like she's signaling. Risk-on typically means money flows into higher-yielding Asian equities and commodities. I track JPY pairs and risk correlations here if you want to see the technical levels: [AimyTrade](https://aimytrade.io?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=StockMarket&utm_term=MARKET&utm_content=variant_1770587638807_oh4bvp)
One thing that won't be taking this year is MUFG. After the japanese elections, the LDP will have enough votes to amend the constitution and remilitarize Japan. MUFG is Mitsubishi. Did you know they don't only make shitty cars? They make colored pencils and fighter jets too.
LDP is believed to be the majority in the house.
Their work on scaling ASML competitors is well underway - I am familiar with ASML / EUV tech, I dont think China gets there for a few years at least (very big at least), but to say they're just dumping all of their effort into DUV... SiCarrier Founded: 2021 Affiliation: Wholly owned by the Shenzhen Major Industrial Investment Group. Focus: Aims to develop competitive lithography systems. Progress: Has made significant advancements but still lacks fully operational EUV systems. Vision: To achieve self-sufficiency in semiconductor manufacturing and compete globally. Huawei Project: Developing a domestic EUV tool using laser-induced discharge plasma (LDP) technology. Status: Currently testing a prototype, with plans for mass production by 2026. Potential Impact: If successful, this could challenge ASML's monopoly in advanced lithography.
Here's a serious answer. The MOF (i.e. the real power) is flexing and pressuring the LDP to oust the PM.
China use different technology to avoid ASML patents. ASML use LPP laser-produced plasma, China use LDP Laser-assisted Discharge-produced Plasma. How can China steal technology from ASML
Japan LDP leadership drama too
LDP elected a new leader they are pretty excited about.
Wishful thinking. I live in Japan. Everything indicates [interest rates will still rise](https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/takaichi-win-japan-leader-may-delay-not-derail-boj-rate-hikes-2025-10-05/). [Inflation is high and people here are upset about it](https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20250922_B2/) and the LDP is in trouble. BOJ will hike raise interest rates. Likely in December.
yeah really depends on if they announce a deal with Canada, Mexico or the EU. Japan is kinda fucked after the LDP lost the upper house too.
not trying to be all *well akshually* but the gov protects the rice industry largely due to its political importance, not food security. rice consumption has declined for decades while bread consumption has increased, and rice remains heavily subsidized and shielded by import restrictions. the agri sector, especially rice, has long been a key support base for the ruling LDP so upsetting it risks destabilizing the party’s postwar political dominance.
Here’s the thing: Japan has a history of being fucked over on these trade agreements. We can go all the way back to 1985 with the Plaza Accord which basically helped walk Japan into a recession in the 90s. Now 🥭 wants them to basically give up their domestic rice production so they can buy more American rice (which Japanese people don’t even like anyway) and also I guess give up their domestic auto industry too. The only reason Japan is growing some balls here is because there are elections in July and we have already seen how anti-🥭 sentiment has played out in other countries when it comes to elections. The LDP in Japan have basically ruled almost continuously for 70 years. And they’re at risk of losing everything in July.
The speech was from an opposition minister of the CDP. Japan is governed by the coalition of LDP and Komeito party. However, it would be wise for the foreign minister to listen to that guy because CDP is gaining more and more seats while the LDP which has ruled Japan for 70 years is losing seats.
Welp, should’ve contracted on LDP terms and not CIF.
Basically. It's been that way ever since MacArthur led the reconstruction, forgiving WW2 criminals and keeping them in positions of power. There's a reason why the LDP has a stranglehold on power
>the US helped LDP stay in power, but we're talking about decades ago. U.S. PR: "Guys, I’ve changed. I was forced to beat you up because of that other guy. Trust me—I’ve changed." Enjoy the last days of prosperity bro 🤣
The main reason is to have a foothold against China, and potential Russian aggression in the region. You're vastly overstating the influence that the US military has over Korean and Japanese politics in the modern era. Yes, the US helped LDP stay in power, but we're talking about decades ago. Similarly, the US kept Park in power, but that was in the 70s.
I didn't say the U.S. is benevolent. In fact, it's the opposite. Having military and intelligence presence in Japan and Korea gives them the power to influence and potentially change the domestic politics of these countries. Just look into how the LDP originated and how it gained so much power in Japan (spoiler: the CIA installed puppets and eliminated popular opposition leaders). America has a history of individually threatening and blackmailing foreign leaders. In Japan and Korea, this is even more effective due to the military presence. I predict East Asia and Southeast Asia will become the next Middle East.
U.S. doesn't have to outright use its military force. It has a massive presence in Japan, and it can secretly carry out political assassinations and install puppets. (The whole reason the LDP has been in power for so long is because it was backed by the CIA, which carried out extrajudicial killings of popular opposition leaders.) So, individually threatening leaders to get their way is pretty much what they'll do. Any political leader who truly has their country's best interests at heart wouldn't sign these stupid deals with Trump. So blackmail and threats will work—just like they did recently with El Salvador. I predict East Asia and Southeast Asia will eventually turn into the next Middle East.
No because the LDP is literally controlled by the CIA, and the US just dangles China over them the second they step out of line.
The tool is unlikely to be made for lithography. Its properties seem to be made for optical alignment and mask inspection given laser induced discharge plasma (LDP) intrinsic limitations and it’s near identical similarities to the technology incorporated by USHIO technology who have used LDP technology for mask inspection alignment and beam-line applications for close to ten years. [https://www.euvlitho.com/2020/S23.pdf](https://www.euvlitho.com/2020/S23.pdf) [https://wccftech.com/ushios-breakthrough-in-the-niche-extreme-ultraviolet-lithography-market/](https://wccftech.com/ushios-breakthrough-in-the-niche-extreme-ultraviolet-lithography-market/) It’s important to note that laser induced discharge plasma (LDP) light source was researched seventeen years ago by ASML and Xtreme it failed to compare to Laser-Produced Plasma (LPP) technology given its worst levels of debris, lower power conversion and in particular plasma stability and uniformity. [https://www.ushio.co.jp/en/news/1002/2011-2011/101316.html](https://www.ushio.co.jp/en/news/1002/2011-2011/101316.html) Even if they develop a fully integrated prototype it will still at-least a decade to turn it into a machine that is economic competitive to multi patterning DUV. For instance ASML released the alpha functional EUV machine in 2004-2006 that actually used a plasma discharge EUV light source. It still took fifteen years of development to turn it into a machine capable of manufacturing at a high-volume scale ASML 3400c [https://www.asml.com/en/news/press-releases/2006/asml-has-shipped-the-industry-first-euv-tools](https://www.asml.com/en/news/press-releases/2006/asml-has-shipped-the-industry-first-euv-tools)
The TSE website said there was one company with 1,000 share units as of 2018. Japan's pension system is clearly bankrupt and reform is essential. However, populist policies toward the elderly are rampant in Japan due to low voter turnout among young people. An estimate was made once that the average senior citizen would need approximately $30,000 to live on in retirement (it will be $150,000 by my time!).The LDP got away with it by rubbing it out. Excessive self-help is intended to stimulate investment, but this will ultimately lead to widening inequality. The world's most successful communist country is now about to meet the same end as many of its compatriots.
Is it about Japan? It is a little complicated and I recommend that you look it up yourself, but I will explain it to you. Sorry if I mislead you about the names of the political parties, as they are complicated in English. The current ruling party is the Liberal Democratic Party, which can be thought of as aiming to deregulate real estate. For example, it aims to have banks act as intermediaries for real estate investment, deregulate commercial property, and promote real estate investment by foreigners. However, the LDP is the minority ruling party in the Diet, and the opposition parties, the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and the People's Democratic Party of Japan, are aiming to strengthen taxes on the wealthy and curb the real estate bubble caused by tower condominium investments, so overall, the trend is toward tighter regulations. In addition, the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike is likely to deal a strong blow to those who have been taking out variable-rate mortgages, which is a headwind for the real estate industry.
How does that work with their Primeminister still being from the LDP? Who's got the saying?
Their majority ruling party LDP that has been in power for a long time, lost its majority today in the erection.
LDP about to lose majority Nikkei about to show the world new shades of red tomorrow, that no one knew ever existed. 
You realize that the LDP is the reason why the Japanese market has underperformed the past 30 years. Right? RIGHT?

CARRY TRADE BACK ON OR WHAT 
We just sort of say iya iya and the LDP is back there just doing the 360 degree mid fuck pushup feat while the Koumeito guy gives himself a tug in the background. In the end, we don't get off, but we do get paid. In yen. Excuse me, I have to go shower now.
Japan for literal decades was attempting to induce inflation because Japanese people are safe-minded savers who clenched their money with a tight fist post-1991 bubble popping. The LDP for years and years was actually trying to get the yen to 140 per dollar when it was stuck forever between 90-100, which is why Japan's interest rates are rock bottom. Combine that with a shrinking population and you have some of the cheapest mortgages on earth. Japan is in a position like almost no other country to actually benefit from the inflation that is happening everywhere right now. You'll see record adjusted revenues from Japanese companies in the following years thanks to this. tl;dr: Long Sony and other Japanese exporters, Long Japanese banks
> flexible democracies lol, the Japanese economy has weathered so much crap and no matter how much worse it gets, they will always vote LDP
Hey, sorry I took so long to respond but I thought I'd still share some more information in case you're interested. The shooter, Tetsuya Yamagami, went out to assassinate the Unification Church's leader Hak Ja Han Moon (the former wife of the Church's founder, Reverend Sun Myung Moon) but she was a no show. Yamagami's disappointment however, was offset by a 'happy' coincidence. The former PM, Shinzo Abe, happened to be giving a public speech on the street in front of the train station. So, he was a target of opportunity. Abe's grandfather helped the South Korean Unification Church spread into Japan as a conservative counterweight to Soviet-sponsored communist groups and many of his party members have enjoyed favourable relations with them as Abe's Liberal Democrat Party (LDP) overlooked the cult-like practices of the Unification Church. In return, the Church helped to mobilise volunteers and voters by campaigning on some of the same issues as the LDP; namely, family values and fears over population demographics. Groups associated with the Church often require a written policy pledge before offering endorsement of politicians. Abe himself wasn't actually a member of the Unification Church but had sent a congratulatory video message to a Church affiliate in 2021. In the video, Abe praised the Church for its commitment to traditional family values but that pretty much something up his 'personal' connection to the group. Some opposition MPs also received campaign assistance from the Church's volunteers. The shooter claims his mother donated a lot of money to the church and this ruined his life. The Unification Church found fertile ground in Japan; praying upon the national guilt over warcrimes committed by Japanese forces in Korea during World War 2 and offering a path to 'salvation'. It has a habit of accepting large donations from its supporters; a practice that has left many people poor.
Imperial Japan never stopped existing. - The ultra-conservative LDP has been in control of the country for all but 4 years since the end of the Allied Occupation in '53. - Hirohito remained on the imperial throne and was immune from war crime prosecution. - The former prime minister, Shinzo Abe, [celebrated](https://i.redd.it/40j263n7mra91.png) the legacy of [Unit 731](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_731) - which was responsible for some of the worst instances of lethal human experimentation in human history. - Only decades later did the government [give a half-assed apology](https://www.npr.org/sections/parallels/2017/05/30/529671510/not-all-south-koreans-satisfied-with-japans-apology-to-comfort-women) for wide-scale sexual slavery of Korean 'comfort women'. Anyone, especially non-white foreigners, with experience living or working in Japan can attest to it being a racist, backwards culture. But anime, amirite?
この度は誠にご愁傷様でした。心よりお悔やみ申し上げます。 Thank you for sharing this and you words. Abe Sama was a gentleman abd a scholar. I had the pleasure of being in his company at an event. His personality and charisma was inspiring. I can not express the shock and sadness that is being felt in Japan today. Lost for words and I am only gaikokujin living in here. The video of Abe Akie arriving at Nara hospital and bowing deeply to the medical director as she enters is terribly moving. The utter disbelief experienced by Nihonjin today is overwhelming. Respectfully I don't think it is possible to full understand how this affects the people of Japan unless you have a deep understanding of the society. This will leave a scar on japan for a long time... My thoughts are with the Abe Akie & the Abe family, LDP and all Nihonjin today 🇯🇵🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻🇯🇵
I’m pretty sure all LDP leaders also visited that shrine
/u/zjz the ticker bot flags so many acronyms/names that happen to also be tickers for microcap companies no one knows about anyway. LDP, for a start.

Well written post! You know more about Japanese politics than I do and I've lived here for 15 years haha. So what you're saying is him being shot will help the LDP consolidate power via the martyr effect? And thus increase nuclear energy etc help their policies get enacted
To learn more about Abe He was a Japanese Neoconservative. Don't think of this using Western liberal and conservative labels. The neocons are socially conservative, pro-classical economics, technocratic, pro-democracy, pro-government, anti-immigrant, and wary of China. In terms of foreign policy, they desire to reassert Japanese influence over the Asia Pacific through stronger international alliances, expansion of Japanese corporate interests, expansion of the military. They've gotten more anti-China over the years in response to the CCP's own anti-Japanese rhetoric - you can see this in action in the 2021 white paper over the defence of Taiwan, which expanded their concept of self defense to include a Chinese attack on Taiwan as being an existential threat to Japan. This has materialised in the form of missile installations on Ishigaki Island, just 300km off the eastern flank of Taiwan. Generally speaking, the Neocons embody the prevailing attitude of status quo and adequately represent the average Japanese voter. They're the largest faction within the LDP, who have consistently won almost every election. Not because of flawed democratic processes - their democratic institutions are rated 96/100 by Freedom House, on par with Western/Central/Northern Europe - but because they have the mandate of the people. The more extreme side of the Neocons have some WW2 war crime denial, but the majority acknowledge the crimes but don't embrace their culpability to the extent that say, Germany does. Abe himself was on the more extreme end - he expressed war crime denial as a personal opinion and was accused of insincerity and whitewashing in some of his state apologies. After Abe stepped down from representing Japan on the international stage, he still remained a powerful force in Japanese politics. He was the leader of Seiwa even after his retirement and was a mentor to both Suga and Kishida, the next two prime ministers after him. After leaving office, he went a bit 'mask off' and became one of the most vocal supporters of Taiwan and warned constantly of the threat of the CCP. Some theorise that it was a political move to allow for an unbound anti-China voice in Japanese politics - Abe would be expressing his personal opinion, not the view of the state. Regardless, he was the longest serving prime minister of Japan and generally regarded positively because of the fact he pursued the status quo. I hesitate to use another Germany comparison, but I would probably compare him to Angela Merkel in terms of political prominence/tenure, and the way he had to dance around an economically important but borderline hostile neighbouring power.
There’s no way this has geopolitical implications w/r/t military action. China just announced what, 220bn worth of fiscal stimulus? This might set the LDP up to push whatever they want through / take pressure off the BOJ.
The wind effects Chinese stocks. There will be knock on effects consistent with an FX rate shift in the short term at least, curious if this will make it easier for the LDP to get things done however (eg. restart nuclear power plants which would have a material impact on Japan's current account given how much they spend importing fossil fuels).

She’s in a LDP, or rotational analyst program. She’s essentially an intern for 12ish months until the company actually decides if she graduates from LDP into a permanent role. I have two of these people that roll up to my team and they essentially also sit around all day
Sure, the winner wasn't in question, but the result was still unexpected. The expectation was that the ruling LDP would lose enough seats that it wouldn't have the outright majority and would have to pull in a junior coalition partner. The LDP ended up winning an outright majority, so it can pass bills by itself.
