0653 GMT - The direction of USD/JPY and Japanese government bond yields will hinge on who wins the Liberal Democratic Party's Oct. 4 election, says Julius Baer in a note. Contenders include former economic security minister Sanae Takaichi and farm minister Shinjiro Koizumi, alongside former LDP secretary-general Toshimitsu Motegi and Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi. The Nikkei briefly hit a record on Tuesday and JGB yields rose on anticipation of delayed rate hikes by the Bank of Japan due to politics, it says. "We expect a more expansionary fiscal policy, which would be negative for the JGBs but provide a more conducive pro-growth environment for equities." (monica.gupta@wsj.com)
