CME Nikkei 225™ futures expire on a quarterly basis and are listed four months out in the March quarterly cycle. They trade side-by-side (electronically on CME Globex and via open outcry on the CME floors) during regular trading hours (RTH) and are available on the CME Globex® electronic trading platform during extended trading hours (ETH).
Underlying Index

The Nikkei 225 Index is price-weighted, so that higher-priced stocks have a greater percentage impact on the Index than lower-priced stocks.
