The Nikkei 225 Stock Average is one of the oldest barometers of the Japanese market, first calculated in 1949. It is structured to reflect the Japanese stock market using the 225 top-rated, blue-chip Japanese companies listed in the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). The Nikkei 225 Stock Average is price-weighted, so that higher-priced stocks have a greater percentage impact on the Index than lower-priced stocks.
