What this dated Nikkei 225 record means
Nikkei 225 is a benchmark rather than an investable order price. Sector concentration, currency effects and constituent weights can make another index from the same country behave differently. A market archive gains credibility when Nikkei 225 observations are not overwritten. Readers can follow the sequence and judge later claims against the preserved earlier record.
Why the observation mattered
The Nikkei 225 is Japan’s headline price-weighted equity benchmark, so its opening gap and early reversal provide a focused measure of large-company sentiment. When another Nikkei 225 page reports a different number, the difference may reflect real movement, a changed expiry or a new rolling baseline. The two timestamps define the comparison.
