Takaichi's Landslide Win to Allow BOJ to Slightly Accelerated Policy Normalization -- Market Talk

0621 GMT - A landslide victory by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's Liberal Democratic Party may allow the Bank of Japan to continue normalizing monetary policy somewhat faster, Barclays' strategists say in a note. Barclays has brought forward the expected time of the next rate hike to April from July, and raised its terminal rate forecast to 1.5% from 1.25%, with hikes in April 2026, October 2026, April 2027, they say. The PM's major win is likely to fuel the 'Takaichi trade' [higher USDJPY, Japanese government bond yields and local equities], according to Barclays' strategists. "A shift towards what we view as a more-prudent policy mix should stabilize JGB and yen risk premia in the medium term." (emese.bartha@wsj.com)
