<ul>
<li>The Nikkei 225 Average Index Committee is in something of a weird spot. For the first time in a while there are two potential automatic ADDs. That needs two DELETEs.</li>
<li>But there is also a sector imbalance which is quite fierce. There are 3-4 good candidates going forward. One needs a stock split. There's one auto DELETE, but...</li>
<li>The other DELETEs should come from the Technology sector and they aren't close to the border. There are, however, two cappings in view helping the total towards US$6.9bn one-way flow.</li>

[Quiddity Index] Nikkei 225 Sep26 Rebal - 2 Auto ADDs, M-A-Y-B-E 1 Extra, 2 Caps

<ul>
<li>Yesterday, the Nikkei Index Committee announced the results of the March 2026 review for the Nikkei 225 Average. TWO ADDs, TWO DELETEs. But not the DELETEs Quiddity was expecting.</li>
<li>The DELETEs chosen signify an even stricter adherence to the sector balancing effort than I (and perhaps others) expected. That changes the Sep26 predictions. </li>
<li>We had Mar26 DELETEs Casio Computer and GS Yuasa as DELs in Sep. Now we have two different ones. And the 3rd choice add has flipped with fourth.</li>
