Temples of trade: The world's best and biggest bourses
Some of the world’s largest stock exchanges have more than just money to show for themselves

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
