Japan's Nikkei hits record after Takaichi win

Japan's Nikkei 225 — its main stock index — jumped 3.9% to close at a record 56,363.94 in Tokyo after Takaichi's win, Bloomberg reported. The broader Topix index rose 2.3% to a new high. For savers, it's a reminder: election hopes can inflate portfolios quickly, and deflate them just as fast.
