About Australia - ASX
The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) is Australia's primary stock exchange and ranks among the top 15 globally by market capitalization. Founded in 1987 through the merger of six state exchanges (with roots dating to 1861), ASX is headquartered in Sydney. The exchange lists over 2,200 companies with combined market cap exceeding AUD $2.5 trillion. Key indices include the S&P/ASX 200 (benchmark index), S&P/ASX 50, and All Ordinaries. Major listings include BHP Group, Commonwealth Bank, CSL Limited, and Rio Tinto. ASX is particularly strong in mining and resources, reflecting Australia's commodity-rich economy. The exchange observes daylight saving time (AEDT in summer), shifting trading hours accordingly. ASX also operates a significant derivatives market.
