Japan's Nikkei jumps 5%, hits new high after Takaichi election win
TOKYO, Feb 9, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Japan's benchmark stock index soared more than five percent Monday on the back of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's election triumph, with her ruling coalition projected to have won a two-thirds majority in the powerful lower house. The Nikkei 225 briefly jumped over five percent before settling up 4.9 percent at 56,919 points, as of around 9:30 am (0030 GMT) -- the first time it has climbed above 56,000. Takaichi's resounding victory paves the way for increased fiscal stimulus and a massive tax cut. Despite concerns over the fiscal cost of these measures, the yen strengthened, gaining 0.33 percent to 156.72 yen to the dollar after dipping in early trading. Takaichi vowed Sunday to pursue a "responsive and proactive" fiscal policy. "We will prioritise the sustainability of fiscal policy. We will ensure necessary investments. Public and private sectors must invest. We will build a strong and resilient economy," she said. Analyst Kyle Rodda of Capital.com said the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's victory had handed Takaichi "the mandate she was looking for for her big-spending agenda". Equities are "poised to benefit from higher fiscal spending but interest rates that remain accommodative and negative in real terms", he said.

Court bars ex-NSI additional director Azizur from leaving country
DHAKA, Feb 08, 2026 (BSS) – A court here today imposed a travel ban on former additional director of the National Security Intelligence (NSI) Azizur Rahman and his wife Amatussami, over graft charges. Dhaka Metropolitan Senior Special Judge Md Sabbir Faiz passed the order, accepting a petition filed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC). The petition of the anti-graft body stated that Azizur Rahman is under investigation for abuse of power, money laundering, and acquiring assets beyond known income in his and his wife’s names.  “During the inquiry, it was learned that he and his wife, Amatussami, may flee the country. Without questioning them and collecting evidence, proving the allegations could become difficult. Therefore, barring their foreign travel is essential to ensure a proper investigation,” it added.
