JAPAN, 14 September 2026 — Nikkei 225 Futures for December 2026 was reported at 63,960, official settlement; the source file does not present a day-on-day change in the same row. The observation is based on the Japan Exchange Group settlement-price file for 11 September 2026.
Latest published figure
The same JPX file listed the underlying Nikkei 225 at 64,011.34. Futures can trade above or below the cash index because of financing, expected dividends, time to expiry and market conditions.
Why futures and cash prices differ
Index futures are dated derivatives, not the cash index itself. Financing, expected dividends, time to expiry, contract rolls, trading hours and liquidity can create a basis between the two. Comparisons must use the same contract and timestamp.
Data note: This is the latest published Friday observation available before the Monday session, not a live weekend quote or forecast. Futures are leveraged instruments and prices can change sharply when trading resumes.
