What is the Tokyo Stock Exchange?

Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE) is the main stock exchange in Tokyo, Japan. It is the largest Asian stock exchange and the second largest exchange in the world, only under the New York Stock Exchange in terms of market capitalization. The stock shops are denominated in yen and occur in a very large volume every day when traders respond to conditions in Japan and also to global market pressures. With the exception of a short suspension during World War II, Tokyo Stock Exchange operated continuously in one or another form since its foundation. In 1969, an index known as the Tokyo or Topix shares index was introduced to monitor the movements of key stock supplies. The large size of the Tokyo Exchange leads many investors to the use of Topix as a general indicator of Japanese economic health, not only the level on the exchange. By 2010, more than 2,400 companies were traded, including some foreign companies. The exchange divides trading into three sectors: large companies come first, smaller companies rankNY separately and growing companies are known as mothers. Mothers are designed for risk capitalists and other investors who are interested in fast -growing new companies.

Companies may be discarded unless they already meet the requirements.
