Trump hails Japan PM's landslide victory
INDIA NEWS | Mon, 9 Feb 2026, 6:55AM IST
US President Donald Trump on Sunday (local time) congratulated Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her coalition on what he described as a "landslide victory" in Japan's general election, calling the outcome historic and praising her leadership.In a post on Truth Social, Trump said, "Congratulations to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her Coalition on a LANDSLIDE Victory in today's very important Vote." He described Takaichi as "a highly respected and very popular Leader" and said her decision to call an election had "paid off big time."Trump noted that Takaichi's party now commands a two-thirds supermajority in the legislature, terming it "a HISTORIC TWO THIRDS SUPERMAJORITY -- the first time since World War II." He added, "It was my Honor to Endorse you and your Coalition. I wish you Great Success in passing your Conservative, Peace Through Strength Agenda."Commending Japanese voters, Trump said the "wonderful people of Japan" had voted with enthusiasm and would "always have my strong support."US President Donald Trump on Sunday endorsed Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi as Japan held a crucial legislative election.Trump said he was looking forward to welcoming Takaichi to the White House on March 19, recalling his recent visit to Japan, during which he and his delegation were "extremely impressed" with her leadership.Highlighting bilateral cooperation, Trump pointed to close coordination between Washington and Tokyo on national security and trade. He said the United States and Japan have worked together on "a very substantial Trade Deal, one that strongly benefits both Countries."In a direct endorsement of a foreign leader during an election, Trump declared, "As President of the United States of America, it is my Honor to give a Complete and Total Endorsement of her, and what her highly respected Coalition is representing."He concluded the message with a strong vote of confidence in the Japanese leader, writing in capital letters, "SHE WILL NOT LET THE PEOPLE OF JAPAN DOWN!" and wished voters luck ahead of what he called their "very important Sunday Vote."Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) won a two-thirds majority in the House of Representatives in Sunday's general election, handing Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi a decisive mandate to advance her conservative policy agenda, Kyodo News reported.Crossing the two-thirds threshold of 310 seats in the 465-member lower house allows the LDP to pursue constitutional revision and pass legislation even if it is rejected by the upper House of Councillors, where the ruling coalition remains in a minority. The LDP is the first party in postwar Japan to achieve such a margin, according to Kyodo News.The landslide result marks a sharp increase from the party's pre-election strength of 198 seats and was widely attributed to Takaichi's personal popularity. The LDP and its coalition partner, the Japan Innovation Party (JIP), will together command a dominant presence in the chamber, reinforcing Takaichi's position after she took office in October.Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's upcoming visit to Washington, her first since taking office, will precede US President Donald Trump's planned April trip to China, as Beijing has taken an increasingly hard-line stance over her comments on a potential crisis in the Taiwan Strait, Kyodo News reported.Trump has repeatedly praised Japan's commitment to making large-scale investments in the United States, a key element of a trade deal reached last summer following his tariff threats against Tokyo, Kyodo News said.Since her early days in office, Trump has publicly lauded Takaichi, leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, describing her as a protegee of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, with whom he forged a close personal relationship during his first term.On Sunday, the US State Department said the administration looks forward to advancing " U.S. security and economic priorities, as well as our shared interests, in the Indo-Pacific and globally" with Japan, Kyodo News reported.A State Department spokesperson described the US-Japan alliance as "the cornerstone of peace, security and prosperity" in the region, adding that it "has never been stronger," according to Kyodo News.

RBI signals pause after December cut as inflation pressure edges up
INDIA NEWS | Mon, 9 Feb 2026, 6:08AM IST
Mumbai: The Reserve Bank of India's December rate cut was perhaps the last in the recent easing cycle, with economists expecting a pause, citing a slight uptick in inflationary pressures amid elevated commodity prices and a weaker rupee, and improving growth prospects. Eleven of 14 economists polled by ET expect no further reduction in the policy rate in the coming months. Proposed trade deals with the USA, the European Union and others have increased growth prospects, thus reducing pressure on the central bank to lower rates to push growth, economists said. The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the RBI on Friday kept the policy rate unchanged at 5.25% after lowering it 125 basis points in the last one year. "The upward revision of inflation and GDP growth forecast gives a hawkish tilt to the policy and indicates monetary policy easing is largely behind us," said Amit Somani, deputy head of fixed income at Tata Asset Management.128091207 Among the 11 economists Within who expect 5.25% as the terminal rate, six said the RBI is likely to remain guided by evolving growth-inflation dynamics. With GDP base years under revision, the true momentum of economic growth remains uncertain, reinforcing expectations of a prolonged pause rather than a renewed easing cycle, they said. Noting the momentum in private consumption, steady rural demand and improving agriculture activity, the central bank increased the GDP growth projections for the first and second quarters of FY27 by 20 basis points each to 6.9% and 7%, respectively. Inflation projection was also revised higher for FY26 to 2.1% from 2%. For the ongoing quarter, CPI is now projected at 3.2%, up from 2.9%. "While uncertainty remains on the growth-inflation figures as we await the new series, the uptick in commodity prices and weaker currency may pose upside risks to inflation," said Upasna Bhardwaj, chief economist at Kotak Mahindra Bank. A small minority, however, still expects one final rate cut, arguing that growth could slow once the new GDP base year is factored in. Elevated geopolitical uncertainty also risks weighing on economic activity. This leaves room for limited additional easing, taking the repo rate to 5%. "The MPC meeting came against a backdrop of heightened geopolitical uncertainty, inflation below the lower end of the MPC tolerance band, and volatile currency markets," said Sachin Bajaj, chief investment officer at Axis Max Life Insurance. "We anticipate a final 25 basis point cut in the repo rate to 5% during the early part of the next financial year to address growth concerns emanating from the uncertain global environment," he said. Nomura, too, expects one more cut as "we await the implications of the new CPI and GDP series." The brokerage has assigned a 65% probability to its baseline.

D-Street likely to raise more toasts to US deal
INDIA NEWS | Mon, 9 Feb 2026, 5:28AM IST
Mumbai: India's equity markets may extend late last week's rally into Monday, buoyed by the announcement of the broad contours of the India-US trade deal over the weekend and an upbeat Wall Street on Friday. Analysts said sectors positioned to benefit from the pact could see investor interest early this week, but a runaway rally in the market looks unlikely as further upsides could revive valuations concerns. "Markets are likely to react positively at the start of the week, also thanks to the strong global cues," said Sham Chandak, head of institutional equities at Elios Financial Services. US stocks surged on Friday led by a recovery in technology stocks after the recent selling. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2.47%, closing above the 50,000 level for the first time. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also jumped around 2%. In response to the trade deal-related announcements, auto ancillaries, jewellery exporters, textile and apparel exporters, chemical manufacturers, pharmaceuticals and API manufacturers should move higher, said Chandak. "Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL), breweries and auto manufacturers will likely not move higher, given the potential competition they may face post the deal. The market will probably wait to see the fine print of the final agreement." The Nifty and Sensex had gained 1.5-1.6% in a six-day event-laden trading week. "The joint statement is likely to act as the catalyst to trigger a breakout above the 25,500-25,850 range," said Vipin Kumar, AVP - derivatives and technical research at Globe Capital Market. "A sustained trading above 25,850 will mark a bullish breakout that could push indices toward the 26,150-26,200 spot levels in the immediate near term." Other analysts struck a more cautious note. Siddarth Bhamre, head of institutional research at Asit C Mehta, said much of the upside from the trade deal has already been priced in. "While sectors such as pharmaceuticals and gems and jewellery could stand to benefit, the inclusion of a clause allowing commitments to be revised if either side fails to comply leaves some uncertainty," he said. "With no clear assurance that all provisions will be fully implemented, investors remain cautious." JM Financial Institutional Securities said the agreement is a "clear sentiment positive" for Indian equities, particularly export-oriented sectors, but elevated valuations suggest that incremental foreign inflows may be gradual rather than immediate.
