Japan may raise defence spending to 3.5% of GDP under Takaichi, risking market shock - Moneycontrol.com
Why now
Thesis: Higher Japan defense spending supports defense names but risks fiscal shock.
Catalyst to watch: Official budget announcement or bond market reaction.
Main risk: Fiscal sustainability concerns could weaken yen and JGBs.
Why it matters
A jump to 3.5% of GDP in defense spending supports defense names but raises fiscal-sustainability concerns that could move Japanese bonds and the yen.
