The Nikkei 225 is a stock market index that tracks the performance of 225 of the largest publicly-traded companies in Japan. It is one of the most widely-followed indices in Asia and is seen as a barometer of the Japanese stock market. The Nikkei 225 is calculated and published by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun (Japan Economic Journal), one of Japan's largest financial newspapers, and it includes companies from a wide range of industries, including consumer goods, technology, and financial services. The index is considered a "price" index, meaning that it is calculated based on the price of its components rather than their market capitalization.
