Nikkei 225 (N225) Index
The Nikkei 225 covers 225 large companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Unlike most indexes it is weighted by share price rather than market value, much like the Dow Jones in the US. A stock with a high price therefore moves the index more than a larger company with a low share price.
The ten largest holdings make up 46.1% of the Nikkei 225, out of 225 holdings in total; the largest sector is Technology at 31.5% (as of Oct 29, 2026).

Nikkei 225 Price Chart
The chart shows daily closing prices and is set to the current year by default. The price is up 28.3% year to date and up 28.6% over twelve months. The last recorded close on October 28, 2026, was at 66% of the 52-week range.
The chart shows the net asset value of the iShares Nikkei 225 UCITS ETF in yen, not the index level. The fund reinvests dividends and deducts its costs, so the line differs from the price index.
Price series from our database since Jan 26, 2010, 4,267 daily values.
