Talk:Nikkei 225

Why 225?
Why 225 and not 200 or 250? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.172.161.128 (talk) 20:50, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * The no. of components in any stock market index is a judgement call by the organization sponsoring the index. Goals include creating a representative average of the market, and a decision must be made to cut off the list at some general level of market capitalization (size of company).  Not too big, not too small,  "just right", Goldilocks. Wbm1058 (talk) 17:37, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Keeping the index up to date
Monitor Nikkei press releases announcing component changes at the news room.

In addition to updating Nikkei 225, please also update Template:Nikkei 225, and keep them synchronized. Add the template to new index components' articles, and remove it from removed components' articles.

It should not be necessary to directly update category:Nikkei 225. Changes to the template will automatically propagate to the category, as long as the template is included in all components' articles, though there may be several minutes delay before this happens. The only index components that have been manually updated to the category are a few redirects, such as Sumitomo Metal Mining, which redirects to its conglomerate parent Sumitomo Group because Wikipedia has no article on that Nikkei 225 index component company. – Wbm1058 (talk) 22:01, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Not an index
It is a price-weighted index (the unit is yen),

An index has no units. The unit is yen because it is an average, and not an index. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.136.144.152 (talk) 23:30, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

When did Nikkei first come to the Stock Market?
When did Nikkei 225 first come to the Stock Market? Haskell Brown Jr (talk) 04:57, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Chart at top of page.
What kind of scale is that? That chart is super misleading. At one point the Nikkei lost half its value but it makes it look like a minor dip. The scale should be uniform or you’re giving people the wrong idea as many may not look carefully at the y axis. Fjf1085 (talk) 14:01, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Also, it stops at 2014. The Nikkei has done much better since then. The old graphics leaves out the economic performance under Abe and gives the impression Japan is stagnant where it has improved dramatically under a more aggressive fiscal stance which some economists wish weren't true (Austrians/gold standard enthusiasts/austerity advocates/inflation hawks). Agendas are all well and good, but when facts start to demolish the argument, hiding the facts isn't the key to winning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamjacobs (talk • contribs) 09:56, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Opinionated analysis of the market's movement
This part:

> On February 15, 2021, the Nikkei average breached the 30,000 benchmark, its highest level in 30 years, due to the levels of monetary stimulus and asset purchase programs executed by the Bank of Japan to mitigate the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.[11]

Is very opinionated and not factual. Monetary stimulus does not directly translate to higher stock prices. Higher confidence in the market and long-term commitment by central banks to act in its favor does.

My source is Evaluating Asset-Market Effects of Unconventional Monetary Policy: A Cross-Country Comparison, a 2014 Federal Reserve discussion paper.

Creation of new category
Creation If we look at Category:Companies by stock market index, most of the world's major indices are listed, except for the Nikkei. Can somebody add this? 92.71.60.62 (talk) 09:36, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
