Muted market reaction to Japan election
After the ruling LDP coalition suffered a defeat in Sunday’s election, we examine the market reaction and what’s next in Japanese politics.
Japan’s Prime minister Shigeru Ishiba has said he will not step down despite failing to win a majority in Sunday's elections. We examine the market’s reaction to the loss and look ahead to whether the opposition parties could form a ruling coalition.
We look at Pennsylvania, one of the crucial swing states that may decide US the election. Rahul Tandon examines the shifting voter demographics in industries such as steel manufacturing and trucking. Also, in Germany, Volkswagen plans to close three plants, lay off thousands of workers and cut pay by 10%, according to trade unions in negotiations with the car giant.
