Japan's Takaichi trade shifts as stocks and bonds both wobble

Original: For much of Sanae Takaichi's first year as prime minister, the prevailing trade in Japan was straightforward: buy stocks

For much of Sanae Takaichi's first year as Japan's prime minister, investors favoured a simple strategy: buy Japanese stocks and sell government bonds. Reporting by the Japan Times indicates that pattern has now broken down, with the once-popular trade losing its appeal and markets reassessing their positioning on Japanese assets.

Why now: Investors and analysts are reacting to a sudden reversal in a market strategy that had defined Japan's financial markets under Takaichi's government.
