Nikkei is DOWN -4% following Ishiba's victory

The background: On Friday (after the close of Japan's markets) Ishiba, a 67-year-old former defence and agriculture minister, was elected LDP president on his fifth attempt and will succeed Fumio Kishida as Japan’s prime minister after a parliamentary vote on October 1 Immediately after Ishiba’s victory was declared on Friday, the yen surged more than 1 per cent against the dollar on market perceptions that he would not resist efforts by the Bank of Japan to normalise monetary policy and to push ahead with interest rate increases.

But Nikkei 225 now slumps more than 4 per cent as a response to the stronger yen.
