TOKYO -- Nikkei will launch a new stock index comprising chip-related stocks listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under the name Nikkei Semiconductor Stock Index on March 25, as global chip demand for digital products and artificial intelligence swells, the company said on Friday.

The new index will comprise the 30 semiconductor-related stocks with the largest market capitalization, including manufacturing equipment and materials makers.

A review of the constituent companies will be conducted at the end of every November. The index will be calculated based on market capitalization and will be updated with daily closing prices at the beginning.
