Nikkei 225 (Tokyo: ^N225) closes below 65,000 points on 1 September 2026 (confirmed by TSE closing price or Bloomberg)

The Nikkei was at approximately 65,500 on August 26, already down 0.7% that day. A hawkish Jackson Hole signal structurally strengthens the USD, increasing global risk aversion. While a weaker yen traditionally acts as a tailwind for Japanese exporters, systemic risk aversion often dominates during correction phases. A drop below 65,000 (–0.76% from the August 26 level) is estimated at ~45%. Compatible with the open prediction 'Nikkei above 70,000 on December 31, 2026': a brief dip below 65k and a year-end rally above 70k are consistent.
