Japan ruling party set for strong showing in local polls: media
Published on Apr 26, 2015 10:29 PM

TOKYO (AFP) - Candidates supported by Japan's ruling party were expected to defeat opposition rivals in at least two of the five mayoral elections Sunday, media reported, boosting Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's economic reform drive. Candidates backed by the Liberal Democratic Party were set to win in Oita and Kyotanabe in Kyoto prefecture, according to Kyodo News which cited its own projections and early returns.
Voters Sunday elected mayors and assembly members across the nation, including in the capital, in the second round of local polls this month.
Abe's LDP sees the polls as a litmus test of the popularity of his drive to resuscitate Japan's economic fortunes, dubbed "Abenomics".

Time to get out of US stocks:
Investors should rotate out of the U.S. markets into better-performing emerging markets, says veteran investor Mark Mobius, warning that corporate earnings in world's number one economy are poised to disappoint.

Mobius, who is bullish on several Asian markets - including China, Indonesia, Thailand and Taiwan - says the region is well-placed to weather any volatility stemming from the U.S. Federal Reserve's impending rate hikes.

"A rate hike in the U.S. is not going to have that much impact on the rest of the world because the rest of the world expanding [its] monetary base," he said, citing the European Central Bank and Bank of Japan, which are providing global markets with abundant liquidity via quantitative easing programs.

Betting big on China
Within the Asian emerging markets sphere, China is "number one", says Mobius.
