Japan election outlook: How a significant LDP victory might impact the economy, government bonds, and the yen
Takaichi's Bold Election Gamble
Just three months after stepping into office, Takaichi has unexpectedly called for an early election—a daring strategy aimed at gaining public endorsement for her agenda. She assumed leadership of a struggling party and a minority government last October, following Ishiba Shigeru’s near-resignation after consecutive parliamentary defeats. The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has faced dwindling public confidence due to rising living costs and a string of political funding controversies.
Although Takaichi secured the prime ministership by a slim margin, her initial approval ratings soared to approximately 70% in her first quarter. Now, she hopes to capitalize on this popularity to win an outright majority for the LDP.

The End of an Era! Semianalysis: Without Jensen Huang, Nvidia Will Become the Next Apple
Semianalysis believes that Jensen Huang’s departure marks the end of a founder-driven era. Nvidia is highly likely to replicate the "post-Steve Jobs Apple model"—shifting from aggressive bets to stock buybacks—which is not beneficial for either technological advancement or shareholders. A greater concern is that the supply chain advantages, customer trust system, and open-source ecosystem moat personally built by Jensen Huang will be difficult for his successor to replicate. By 2028, over 70% of total production capacity may shift to non-Nvidia players.
