Tokyo Closing Bell delivers a concise, data-first English wrap of the Japanese stock market after every Tokyo trading session.
Japan is the world’s third-largest equity market, yet timely English coverage of its daily internals — short-selling ratios, margin balances, and investor flows — remains scarce outside expensive terminals and paywalled outlets. We close that gap.
What we publish
- Daily Briefing — Nikkei 225 and TOPIX moves, sector highlights, large-cap movers, USD/JPY, and the TSE short-selling ratio, published after the Tokyo close.
- Weekly Flows — who bought and who sold: foreign investors vs. individuals, from the TSE’s official weekly investor statistics.
- Analysis & Guides — evergreen explainers on how the Japanese market works: short-selling data, the yen carry trade, Bank of Japan policy mechanics, and more.
Who we are
Tokyo Closing Bell is produced by the TCB Editorial team using a purpose-built data pipeline that pulls directly from primary sources — Japan Exchange Group (JPX) statistics and Nikkei Inc. official index data — and cross-verifies every figure before publication. See our Methodology for exactly how each number is sourced and checked.
Nothing on this site is investment advice. We report data; we do not recommend trades.
