The USD/JPY pair is correcting within an uptrend around 151.85 after the parliamentary victory of Sanae Takaichi, a supporter of the “dovish” policy stance. Her win could bring significant changes to the Bank of Japan’s approach as it prepares for possible monetary tightening. However, analysts believe that an interest rate hike this year is now unlikely, and the yen may instead be supported through foreign exchange interventions. In the current environment, investors are redirecting capital into equities, which could put short-term pressure on the Japanese currency. Economists also expect a gradual recovery in Japan’s weak industrial sector, supported by additional funding to boost production levels.

The leading index of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, DAX 40, is trading near 24,391.0. The German stock market is holding on to the positions reached last month, staying close to local lows despite corrections in the bond market. The main driver of the recent upward movement was the latest foreign trade data: in August, Germany’s exports totaled €129.7 billion (0.5% lower than in July and 0.7% below last year’s level), while imports reached €112.5 billion, showing a –1.3% decline month-on-month but a 3.5% increase year-on-year. As a result, the trade surplus widened to €17.2 billion from €16.3 billion in the previous month.
