About the Nikkei 225
The Nikkei 225 is Japan’s best-known benchmark, a price-weighted index of 225 large companies on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Because of that weighting, a few high-priced shares can swing it noticeably. It is strongly influenced by the yen — a weaker yen tends to lift exporters — as well as by Bank of Japan policy and global demand.
