High-impact releases for AUD over the next 7 days, in server time (GMT+3). Dots on the 1D and 5D charts mark recent releases.
The AUS200, also known as the S&P/ASX 200 Cash Index, is the primary stock market benchmark for Australia, representing the 200 largest companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. It encompasses Australia's leading firms across financials, energy, materials, and healthcare sectors, making it a key indicator of the country's economic health. With significant daily trading volume and global institutional participation, the AUS200 offers consistent liquidity and price discovery for traders seeking exposure to the Australian equity market.
The AUS200 is driven by a diverse range of macro and micro factors including Australian monetary policy decisions from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), commodity prices (particularly iron ore and gold), currency movements in the AUD, corporate earnings reports, and broader global risk sentiment. Interest rate expectations, employment data, and inflation figures also heavily influence index performance, as does international equity market momentum and trade dynamics with Asia.
At GCC Brokers, AUS200 is available for trading with automatic execution and no manual intervention. Trade the AUS200 on both our Zero and Standard accounts with variable spreads and flexible leverage on Australia's main equity benchmark.
AUS200 trades Monday to Friday at GCC Brokers, covering the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) cash session and extended hours around it; the exact hours, in server time, are in the specifications above. Liquidity is highest during the ASX session. Check the platform for real-time session times and any early close days.
Spreads are variable and depend on market conditions and your account. Standard and Pro have no commission, and Pro has tighter spreads; Zero has raw spreads plus a commission. The live spread is shown on this page.
AUS200 is influenced by Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) policy decisions and interest rate changes, commodity prices (especially iron ore and gold), currency strength of the Australian dollar, corporate earnings from major index constituents, and global risk sentiment. Domestic economic data such as employment figures, inflation, and GDP growth also play significant roles, alongside international equity market performance and geopolitical events affecting trade.
Not quite: AUS200 has a short daily break and is closed at weekends; the exact hours, in server time, are in the specifications above. Liquidity is highest during ASX operating hours, when the underlying cash market is open.
Yes, AUS200 is well-suited for both day traders and swing traders due to its high liquidity and responsiveness to both macro events and technical levels. Day traders benefit from consistent intraday volatility and news-driven moves, while swing traders can capture multi-day trends driven by RBA policy, earnings, and commodity cycles. Always use appropriate risk management and position sizing for your trading strategy.
