JPN225Nikkei 225 — Live Price & Chart

JPN225 tracks the Nikkei 225, Japan's benchmark stock index, heavily influenced by the yen and export demand, traded as a CFD that mirrors the underlying index level.

The Nikkei moves with the yen (a weaker yen boosts exporters), Bank of Japan policy and global tech demand. It often follows overnight moves in US markets.

Nikkei 225 trades as a CFD nearly 24 hours on weekdays but is most liquid during its home cash-market session, when spreads tighten and volume peaks. With typical daily moves around 1%, indices suit trend followers, day traders trading the session open, and investors hedging equity portfolios. Earnings seasons and central-bank meetings bring the biggest moves.
