News the Annex 'Exists' After All — Index-Rally Stocks Actually Buy, Reading It as Clearing Skies

The news that it exists, if anything, drew buying. At the Tokei Exchange on the 2nd, following the previously reported departure of the Window Treaty delegation and the Foreign Ministry's reversal, observation-equipment 'index rally' stocks ticked slightly higher — the market apparently finding more comfort in a known unknown than an unknown unknown.

At the Tokei Exchange on the 2nd, the previously reported observation-equipment and appraisal-related "index rally" stocks ticked slightly higher from the previous day — Tokei Precision Optics up 0.4%, Yatani Instruments up 0.3%. One market source said, "The lingering suspicion that there 'might' be an annex had been weighing on the market for a while. Now that it's confirmed this morning that there 'is' one, a lot of people seem to be reading that as the suspicion itself clearing up." TDI futures in Seishu also closed slightly higher.

Another market source, however, urged caution: "All that's confirmed is existence — the heaviest question, full disclosure versus confidentiality, hasn't been settled at all. Today's rise might be getting ahead of itself." Observation-related casualty insurance stocks showed no notable movement, staying in wait-and-see mode.

A further market move is expected once the first progress report comes in after the delegation arrives on the ground. This paper will keep following the market's reaction alongside the Window Treaty negotiations.

    There Was a Secret Annex to the Window Treaty — On the Morning of Departure, the Ministry Reverses Itself

    The one page they kept insisting didn't exist — this morning, it did. The Foreign Ministry reversed its repeated denials on the morning of the 2nd and, for the first time, acknowledged the existence of the Window Treaty's non-public annex itself. The previously reported delegation, led by Councilor Yuichi Amamiya, 55, departed from Haneda Air Route as scheduled, and sovereignty-camp lawmaker Tetsuo Munakata, 58, moved immediately to press the point in the Diet the same day. The Observation Data Disclosure Bill also received its policy outline in the same plenary session, making this a day when 'disclosure' moved at home and abroad at once.

    Market Shrugs at Disclosure Bill's Submission — TDI Futures in Seishu Barely Move

    The ruling party's decision on the 25th to bring the observation-data disclosure bill before this Diet session drew only a muted reaction from the 'index rally' stocks at the Tokei Exchange. Because the bill's broad shape had already been priced in from the previously reported revised draft, both Yatani Instruments and Tokei Precision Optics saw only minor movement. TDI futures in Seishu also showed little response.
