8.1
Tokyo's Nikkei 225 jumped 4.7% on Monday after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's governing Liberal Democratic Party secured a two-thirds supermajority in a Feb. 8 parliamentary election, NHK reported. The Kospi surged 4.3% and other Asian benchmarks rose as U.S. tech stocks rebounded and bitcoin steadied; the Nikkei briefly topped a record 57,000. Takaichi faces a delayed budget bill when the lower house reconvenes in mid-February.
