Today, a look at Japan's political earthquake as Takaichi emerges victorious after the oddsmakers and the market got the situation completely wrong, sending the yen sharply lower. But will this initial reaction to her victory stick in the longer run? Elsewhere, France's political dysfunction takes on new urgency as the latest PM has now resigned. Also, Palantir suffers a glitch, market internals are ablaze with divergences, some great must reads and listens on Japan and credit and more. Today's pod hosted by Saxo Global Head of Macro Strategy John J. Hardy.
