What this measures
A price-weighted index of leading Japanese companies.
What moves it
- The yen, inversely: Japanese exporters gain on a weaker currency.
- Bank of Japan policy, which has become a live variable again after decades of near-zero rates.
The Canadian angle
Japan is a major buyer of Canadian energy, potash and metallurgical coal, so Japanese industrial demand feeds through to Canadian resource volumes.
