Political turmoil in **France and Japan** continued to dominate global markets for a second straight day, unsettling currency and bond investors even as optimism around technology stocks persisted.

Global equities were mixed despite a multi-billion-dollar chip supply agreement between **AMD** and **OpenAI**.

In France, the unexpected resignation of **Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu** deepened the country’s political crisis, rattling investor confidence. French bond futures slipped slightly in Asian trading after heavy losses on Monday, while the **euro** eased **0.2%** to just below **$1.17**.

In Japan, the election of **Sanae Takaichi** as leader of the ruling party lifted the **Nikkei** to another record high, as markets bet her likely appointment as prime minister would usher in a new wave of fiscal stimulus and continued loose monetary policy. The **yen** weakened beyond **150 per dollar**, hitting a two-month low, while Japanese government bond yields rose.

Markets in **Hong Kong** and **China** were closed for a holiday, while the **MSCI Asia-Pacific ex-Japan index** gained **0.4%**.

In currency trading, the **US dollar** strengthened, supported by weakness in both the euro and yen. **Sterling** slipped **0.1%** to **$1.3470**, and the **Australian dollar** edged down **0.1%** to **$0.6612**.

On **Wall Street**, the **Dow Jones Industrial Average** dipped **0.1%** to **46,700.45**, while the **S&P 500** gained **0.4%** to **6,745.46**, and the **Nasdaq Composite** climbed **0.9%** to **22,974.63**.

After the close of US trading, the government announced it would purchase a 10% stake in **Trilogy Metals**, a Canadian miner with assets in Alaska — sending the company’s **shares up 215%** in after-hours trading.

In the bond market, yields on **10-year US Treasuries** were steady at around **4.152%** late Monday.
