According to @DowdEdward, Japan’s population fell by nearly 900,000 last year while deaths exceeded 1.6 million and births hit a record low, underscoring a rapidly aging economy that can reshape sector demand and macro positioning (source: @DowdEdward citing Nippon.com). According to @DowdEdward relaying Elon Musk’s warning via Mario Nawfal, adult diapers have outsold baby diapers in Japan for over a decade and similar demographic pressure is building in South Korea, Italy, and Spain, highlighting structural growth headwinds (source: @DowdEdward; Elon Musk via Mario Nawfal). According to @DowdEdward, traders can track adult-to-baby diaper sales ratios, net population change, and old-age dependency metrics to position in healthcare, robotics, and consumer staples, and to monitor potential pressure points in Japan-exposed FX and equities such as USDJPY and the Nikkei 225 (source: @DowdEdward). According to @DowdEdward, crypto traders may also watch BTC and ETH as demographic headlines influence expectations for policy and liquidity, with USDJPY volatility and BOJ signaling acting as key catalysts for broader risk sentiment (source: @DowdEdward).
