Your daily CommSec market fix
Whether it’s video updates, reviews, detailed reports or monthly wraps, our dedicated team of market analysts and economists work around the clock to give you the latest market news when you need it – and on the channels that work for you.
The Markets, for one, is your trading day in review. Here you’ll find the latest news coverage and reports on the Aussie and global markets, including stock prices changes and trend analyses.
What is the ASX and Cboe?
The ASX is where Aussie shares are traded. You can buy shares in more than 2,000 companies listed on the ASX. If you buy a share in a company it means you own part of that business. The more shares you have in a company, the bigger the slice you own.
Company share prices change all the time and you can see current share prices on the ASX, which is open for trading weekdays between 10am and 4pm Sydney time.
Cboe Australia Pty Limited (‘Cboe Australia’) is an alternative trade execution venue to the ASX which uses its own trading system and provides trading in both ASX listed securities and Cboe Australia only quoted securities.
Continuous trading hours for Cboe Australia are between 10:00am and 4:13pm, Monday to Friday and unlike the ASX, Cboe Australia does not operate an opening and closing auction. You can learn more about Cboe Australia by visiting their website, www.cboe.com.au

With CommSec, you also get exclusive access to Morningstar’s and Goldman Sachs’ live updates, stock recommendations and more.
