The Bullish Bears break down a list of the Nikkei 225 stocks and companies, ETFs, and futures. Japan’s Nikkei index measures the performance of 225 large stocks of companies in a wide range of industries. It’s part of the TSE or Tokyo Stock Exchange. If you are looking into investing in foreign markets, this is a good place to start. The Nikkei 225 was born on September 7th, 1950, and was retroactively calculated back to May 1949. If you were to compare it to a US exchange, it would be best compared to the DOW. Also, check out our full stock indexes list.
What does the Nikkei stand for? Well, it is named after the “Nihon Keizai Shimbun” or Japan’s Economic Newspaper, commonly known as Nikkei, which sponsors the calculation of the index. Also interesting is how old it is. The Nikkei is the oldest stock index in all of Asia. (Yes, even China)
You can not invest directly into the exchange, but there are ETFs that you can invest in that are available on the US stock market as well. The most prominent one is the iShares MSCI Japan ETF.
We are not affiliated with nor endorse any of these companies, and nothing on this site constitutes a recommendation to buy or sell.

What Is the Nikkei 225 & What Does It Stand For?
The Nikkei has been experiencing some selling pressure; much is the case worldwide. Japans eononmy is big. How big? It’s the world’s fifth largest after China, the EU, India, and the United States. Japan is a G7 nation and has built a highly free market system.
Some interesting facts about Japan that may affect the stocks on the Nikkei list: Japan is the world’s largest creditor nation. Japan is experiencing a declining population, and they have very low immigration, which can be a problem for the aging population there. Japan has a serious debt to GDP problem…but continues to pay its bills. For now.
