What is the difference between the Nikkei 225 and TOPIX?
The Nikkei 225 is a price-weighted average of 225 large stocks on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market, so high-priced shares such as Fast Retailing and Advantest move it most. The TOPIX is weighted by market value and covers a much broader set of companies, so it tracks the whole market more closely.
