The , more commonly called the ''Nikkei'', the ''Nikkei index'', or the ''Nikkei Stock Average''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=the Nikkei (index) definition, meaning - what is the Nikkei (index) in the British English Dictionary & Thesaurus - Cambridge Dictionaries Online )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yahoo )〕 (, , or ), is a stock market index for the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). It has been calculated daily by the ''Nihon Keizai Shimbun'' (''Nikkei'') newspaper since 1950. It is a price-weighted index (the unit is yen), and the components are reviewed once a year. Currently, the Nikkei is the most widely quoted average of Japanese equities, similar to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. In fact, it was known as the "Nikkei Dow Jones Stock Average" from 1975 to 1985.〔Nikkei Definition via Wikinvest〕 The Nikkei 225 began to be calculated on September 7, 1950, retroactively calculated back to May 16, 1949. Since January 2010 the index is updated every 15 seconds during trading sessions. The Nikkei 225 Futures, introduced at Singapore Exchange (SGX) in 1986, the Osaka Securities Exchange (OSE) in 1988, Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) in 1990, is now an internationally recognized futures index.〔(Nikkei Net Interactive )〕 The Nikkei average has deviated sharply from the textbook model of stock averages which grow at a steady exponential rate. The average hit its all-time high on December 29, 1989, during the peak of the Japanese asset price bubble, when it reached an intra-day high of 38,957.44 before closing at 38,915.87, having grown sixfold during the decade. Subsequently, it lost nearly all these gains, closing at 7,054.98 on March 10, 2009—81.9% below its peak twenty years earlier. Another major index for the Tokyo Stock Exchange is the Topix. On March 15, 2011, the second working day after the massive earthquake in the northeast part of Japan, the index dropped over 10% to finish at 8605.15, a loss of 1,015 points. The index continued to drop throughout 2011, eventually bottoming out at 8160.01 on November 25, putting it at its lowest close since March 10, 2009. The Nikkei fell over 17% in 2011, finishing the year at 8455.35, its lowest year-end closing value in nearly thirty years, when the index finished at 8016.70 in 1982.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Finfacts: Irish business, finance news on economics )〕 The Nikkei started 2013 near 10,600, hitting a peak of 15,942 in May. However, shortly afterward, it plunged by almost 10% before rebounding, making it the most volatile stock market index among the developed markets. By 2015, it has reached over 20,000 mark; marking a gain of over 10,000 in 2 years making it one of the fastest growing stock market indexes in the world. ==Weighting== The index is a price-weighted index. As of late 2014, the company with the largest influence on the index is Fast Retailing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nikkei 225」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
