Why trade?
AUS 200 tracks the S&P/ASX 200, Australia's benchmark share market index. It is made up of around 200 of the largest companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), weighted by float-adjusted market capitalisation. The index is maintained by S&P Dow Jones Indices and was launched in April 2000.
Because it covers sectors such as financials, materials, healthcare and energy, the index is widely used as a broad gauge of the Australian share market. Banks and mining companies make up a large part of the index, so it can be sensitive to interest rates and commodity prices.
The S&P/ASX 200 was launched on 3 April 2000, with a starting value equal to the All Ordinaries index on that date. Since then, it has gone through several major cycles, including a sharp fall during the global financial crisis of 2008–2009 and a steep drop in early 2020. Both falls were later recovered, and the index has since reached new record highs.
Understanding the index's price history can help traders put current moves into context. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
AUS 200 gives traders exposure to the Australian share market through a single instrument. The index can react to company earnings, interest rate decisions by the Reserve Bank of Australia, commodity prices, economic data from China, Australia's largest trading partner, and global risk sentiment. As with all CFD trading, trading AUS 200 involves risk, and leveraged positions can lead to significant losses.
