The Nikkei 225, also known as the Nikkei Stock Average or Japan 225
The Nikkei 225
The Nikkei 225, also known as the Nikkei Stock Average or Japan 225, is a stock market index that tracks the performance of 225 large publicly traded companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). The index is widely considered to be a barometer of the overall health of the Japanese stock market and is often used as a benchmark for the performance of mutual funds and other investment vehicles.
The Nikkei 225 is a price-weighted index, which means that the weight of each company in the index is proportional to its stock price. The index is calculated by adding up the stock prices of the 225 companies and dividing the total by a divisor, which is adjusted to account for corporate actions such as stock splits and dividends.
The Nikkei 225 is a popular choice for investors looking to gain exposure to a broad range of large, well-established companies in the Japanese stock market. The index is highly diversified, covering a range of sectors including technology, consumer goods, financial services, and industrial companies.
