Japanese PM Abe speaking on Fuji tv 5 Oct
- fiscal health can not be achieved without growth
- schedule of constitutional revision yet to be fixed
- many potential successors within LDP
Abe has made it clear he will stand down if he doesn't win a convincing majority in the snap election.
Has he been reading about the UK and PM lately? Is that why he already talks of suitable successors?!
USDJPY meanwhile remains on the back foot at 112.43 as yen demand returns and capping core pairs.
I'm stepping away now and will spend more time getting fully set up. Hopefully all back to normal for tomorrow. Thanks for your patience over the past 24 hours.
Thirsty work all this continual jawboning
