Japan's stock rally is riding high on optimism around snap elections, but here's the catch—if that momentum actually materializes into policy wins, it could unravel just as quick. The real threat? Unchecked government spending will keep inflation climbing, and that means borrowing costs for Tokyo keep ticking upward. It's the classic trap: short-term market euphoria meets long-term fiscal headwinds.

This wave of the Japanese market is just a paper tiger; once the election boost passes, it will be exposed.

Japan is doing the same thing again, first hyping the concept and then laying the trap—typical political leek trap.

This wave of gains in Japan is just a smoke screen; after the election, everything will be pointless.

ngl this is just like mile 20 vibes—japan's running on hype fumes rn but the real marathon test is whether they can actually sustain without burning through reserves. fiscal headwinds hitting different when you're already exhausted.
