Christopher Lafleur

Paul Dobson, Executive Editor for Asia Markets at Bloomberg, and Christopher Lafleur, Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan, discuss the significant market reactions following Sanae Takaichi's election as Japan's first female prime minister. They explore how her pro-stimulus policies led to a weakened yen and a rally in Japanese stocks. The duo also examines the implications for U.S.-Japan relations, the potential pause in Bank of Japan rate normalization, and the impact on global commodity prices and investor sentiment.
