AUS200ASX 200 — Live Price & Chart

AUS200 tracks the ASX 200, Australia's benchmark index, dominated by banks and mining companies, traded as a CFD that mirrors the underlying index level.

The ASX 200 tracks Australia's big banks and miners, so iron ore prices, Chinese demand and Reserve Bank of Australia policy drive it. It trades during the Asia-Pacific session.

ASX 200 trades as a CFD nearly 24 hours on weekdays but is most liquid during its home cash-market session, when spreads tighten and volume peaks. With typical daily moves around 0.8%, indices suit trend followers, day traders trading the session open, and investors hedging equity portfolios. Earnings seasons and central-bank meetings bring the biggest moves.
