$BTC JAPAN SHOCK: PM DISSOLVES PARLIAMENT AS BOND YIELDS EXPLODE 🚨
Japan just triggered a political and market earthquake. Newly appointed Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has dissolved parliament, calling a snap general election for February 8 and openly tying her political future to the result.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. Voters are being asked to decide on higher government spending, tax cuts, and a revamped security strategy, all while cost-of-living pressures dominate public concern, with prices ranking as the #1 issue in recent polls.
Markets reacted instantly. Japanese government bond yields surged to all-time highs, signaling deep investor anxiety over fiscal expansion, debt sustainability, and policy uncertainty. This isn’t just a domestic political gamble — it’s a macro event with global ripple effects.
Japan is testing its mandate.
Markets are testing its balance sheet.
Does this vote unlock stimulus-fueled growth — or spark a deeper bond market reckoning?
