What Is ASX 200?
The S&P/ASX 200 tracks the 200 largest companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange by float-adjusted market capitalization, and is Australia's leading equity benchmark, launched in 2000 and jointly maintained by S&P and the ASX.
The index carries heavy weight in financial companies (Australia's large banks) and mining and resources companies, reflecting the structure of the Australian economy — as a result, the ASX 200 tends to be sensitive to global commodity prices (particularly iron ore) and to Chinese industrial demand, alongside domestic interest-rate policy from the Reserve Bank of Australia.
How ASX 200 Is Priced
ASX 200 is a market index, not a single tradable security — its value is a weighted average of the prices of the companies or assets it tracks, recalculated continuously as those underlying prices move. Investors can't buy the index directly; exposure typically comes through index funds, ETFs, or futures contracts designed to track it. Because it aggregates many holdings, an index's day-to-day move reflects the combined performance of its constituents rather than any single company's news.
