This list contains 1950 ticker symbols. These are ticker symbols of stocks that trade in the Australian stock market.
The Australian securities exchange, or the ASX, is the main stock exchange in Australia. It is based in Sydney and it was formed in 1987. The Australian securities exchange has became the ninth largest stock exchange in the world after a merger in December 2006 between the Australian stock exchange and the Sidney futures exchange. The exchange is a publicly traded company; it is listed on the exchange itself and it offers a fully electronic trading.
The All Ordinaries index used to be the major index of the Australian securities exchange. Today, the main index on the ASX is the S&P/ASX 200, which includes the 200 biggest companies listed on the ASX. Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, Telstra Corporation, National Australia Bank and Commonwealth Bank of Australia are among these companies.
Besides the ASX, the other Australian Stock Market exchanges are:

The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
