1. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will retain power with a “super majority” of seats after a huge victory in Sunday’s national election. Abe is expected to use his two-thirds majority to revise the country’s pacifist constitution, while continuing with his economic policies, coined "Abenomics," and increasing sales tax to pay off public debt and fund new social services, including childcare support. 2. After the victory, Abe said on Monday he would discuss North Korea "thoroughly" with U.S. President Donald Trump when he visits next month, and reaffirm the two countries' commitment to working together in dealing with the country. Abe was speaking at a news conference after his ruling coalition scored a landslide victory in the lower house election on Sunday. 3. Japan's Nikkei share average made 21-year highs on Monday and was on course to rise for a record fifteenth straight session, lifted by a weaker yen after Abe's coalition scored a resounding election victory on Sunday. The Nikkei was up 1.2% at 21,711 points by 6.40 a.m. BST.

Japanese shares jumped on a weaker yen on Monday as an election win for Shinzo Abe's ruling bloc gave a green light for more policy stimulus, while the euro eased as Spain's constitutional crisis aggravated concerns about political unity in the region. The U.S. dollar was the major beneficiary as President Donald Trump and Republicans took a small step toward tax cuts, boosting Wall Street stocks and lifting bond yields. Japan's Nikkei (.N225) raced up 1 percent to its highest since 1996 after Prime Minister Abe looked to have easily won in national elections over the weekend.

U.S. tax plan hopes lift global stocks, dollar strengthens
World stocks advanced, bond yields rose and the U.S. dollar strengthened on Friday on increased hopes President Donald Trump could make progress on his fiscal plans after the U.S. Senate approved a budget blueprint that paves the way for tax cuts. U.S. Republican Senator Rand Paul appeared to back the administration's sweeping tax cut plan, saying he was "all in" for massive tax cuts, even as the Senate passed a key budget measure without his support one day earlier. "It's just a reaction to the thought that just maybe there might be something coming from Congress in the way of tax reform," said Paul Nolte, portfolio manager at Kingsview Asset Management in Chicago.
