World stock markets rose on Monday, driven by optimism following Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s decisive election victory. This political development boosted investor confidence in Japan and regional markets. Meanwhile, technology stocks rebounded, contributing to gains across global indices.
At the same time, the U.S. dollar declined after reports emerged that China advised its financial institutions to reduce exposure to U.S. Treasury bonds. This move increased concerns about demand for U.S. debt. Despite this, equity markets showed resilience.
The combined effect of Japan’s political stability and gains in tech shares supported broader investor sentiment. However, caution remained over potential repercussions from China’s financial stance on U.S. bonds. Overall, markets experienced a positive start to the week amid mixed economic signals.
Political developments in major economies can quickly influence market sentiment and stock performance. Meanwhile, shifts in bond demand can affect currency valuations and investor risk appetite.
