Japan PM sees no need for now to compile extra budget

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said she does not see a need "for now" to compile a supplementary budget to cushion the economic impact from the Middle East conflict. The statement signals a cautious, wait-and-see fiscal stance rather than immediate stimulus. Market impact is likely limited unless the conflict escalates enough to pressure Japan's growth or energy costs.
