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
