Index
Nikkei 225
What is the Nikkei 225?
Japan's headline stock index — 225 large companies on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, weighted by share price. The number quoted when "the Japanese market" moves.
We never publish the index level; it is not our data. What you can trade is EWJ, the iShares MSCI Japan ETF; the chart below is EWJ via TradingView. EWJ tracks the broad Japanese market (MSCI Japan), not the Nikkei's own 225 names.
The line runs 94.97 USD on 5 August through 92.88 USD on 2 November, on a scale from 92 to 100. Days the market did not trade hold the previous close, flat.
