Analysts See Volatility in Yen, Stocks After Japan Election

The yen and Japanese stocks may be volatile this week as a setback for Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s ruling coalition in the upper house election casts doubt over the nation’s policy direction, strategists say.

Ishiba said he intends to stay on even as his party is set to govern the country without a majority in at least one of the legislative chambers for the first time since 1955.
