Tokyo Stock Exchange Founded: 1878 Owner: Japan Exchange Group Inc Address: 2-1 Nihombashikabuto-cho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo Market capitalisation: ¥492 trillion Also called Tosho, this is the third largest exchange in the world. Natural disasters and wars (the Exchange was briefly shut after the Nagasaki bombing in 1945) have led researchers to study how these calamities affect the stock market. Although there have been fallouts of natural disasters—the March 2011 Fukushima disaster hit international trade, and affected oil prices—it has been concluded that the long-term impact is not of much significance. These disasters are believed to add to the volatility of the market, but not lead to significant losses
