According to the report from the Zhitong Finance and Economics APP, if the predictions based on pre-election polls are correct, after the Japanese House of Councillors election this Sunday, the Japanese stock market may see a continuous decline. Results from various local elections indicate that the ruling coalition may lose its majority in the upcoming election this weekend, dealing another blow to Prime Minister Shizo Abe, who unexpectedly lost the majority in last October's House of Representatives election. Political concerns have already influenced the market, with local stocks performing worse than the MSCI World Index this month.
