Japan PM Stands Firm; Tariff Jitters Hit Earnings

Japan PM Ishiba vows to stay after coalition election loss
10. Goals of the system
Prime Minister Ishiba’s decision to remain in office after an electoral setback keeps the government’s overarching objective—guiding U.S.–Japan tariff negotiations—intact. Adjusting or reaffirming a system’s goal realigns every subsidiary rule, feedback loop, and resource flow, making this a high-leverage intervention point.

8. Rules of the System
Because rules dictate both the incentive structures (e.g., tariffs that re-route global supply chains) and the information protocols (e.g., Fed or corporate disclosures that anchor expectations), even small adjustments can swiftly redirect capital, trade, and sentiment. Changing these governing norms therefore offers far greater leverage over economic behavior and volatility than tweaking lower-level financial parameters.

8. Rules of the system
