Nikkei 225
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikkei 225 (日経平均株価, 日経225) is a stock market index for the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). The Nikkei average is the most watched index of Asian stocks. It has been calculated daily by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Nikkei) newspaper since 1971. It is a price-weighted average (the unit is Yen), and the components are reviewed once a year.
The Nikkei 225 began to be calculated on September 7, 1950, retroactively calculated back to May 16, 1949.
The Nikkei 225 Futures, introduced at the Osaka Securities Exchange (OSE), Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) ,Singapore Exchange (SGX) , is now an internationally recognized futures index.
The Nikkei average hit its all-time high on December 29, 1989 when it reached an intra-day high of 38,957.44 before closing at 38,915.87.
Another major index for the Tokyo Stock Exchange is the Topix.
[edit] Weighting & Modifications
Stocks are weighted on the Nikkei 225 by giving an equal weighting based on a par value of 50 yen per share. Events such as stock splits, removals and addtions of constituents impact upon the effective weighting of individual stocks and the divisor. The Nikkei 225 is designed to reflect the overall market, so there is no specific weighting of industries.
[edit] Changes to the components
Stocks are reviewed annually and announcements of review results are made in September. Changes, if required, are made at the beginning of October. Changes may also take place at any time if a stock is found to be ineligible for the Stock Average (e.g. delistings, etc.). All proposed changes will be announced in Nikkei's Japanese newspapers and will appear on NNI.
After a stock has been replaced, the divisor is reviewed and modified to ensure a smooth transition of the stock index.
