**Trader sentiment for the Nikkei 225 close at end-2026 centers on the Bank of Japan’s accelerated monetary tightening and its interplay with AI-driven earnings growth.** The index recently traded near 65,000 after the BOJ lifted its policy rate to 1.25% on September 18—the highest level in 31 years—with the move viewed as measured rather than aggressively hawkish, supporting a short-term rally in semiconductor and AI-related shares. Market-implied odds favor the 55,000–60,000 band (41.5%) or lower, reflecting expectations that further normalization, elevated energy prices, and potential valuation pressure could moderate gains from the 2026 peak above 72,000. Supporting factors include resilient corporate earnings revisions in tech exporters, Tokyo Stock Exchange governance reforms, and global semiconductor demand, offset by yen volatility, U.S. rate path uncertainty, and risks of profit-taking after strong year-to-date advances. Key upcoming catalysts include the next BOJ and FOMC decisions plus October earnings updates, which will shape whether the rally broadens or consolidates.

This market will resolve according to the official closing price for the Nikkei 225 (NI225) on the final trading day of December 2026, reported in JPY.
If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
If the final trading day of the month is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the official closing price published for that shortened session will still be used for resolution.
If no official closing price is published for that session (for example, due to a trading halt into the close, system issue, delisting, or other disruption), the market will use the last valid on-exchange trade price of the regular session as the effective closing price.
