The ASX market capitalisation currently stands at approximately USD 1.9 trillion, cementing Australia‘s position among the world’s top 15 stock exchanges by size. While the ASX remains smaller than giants like the NYSE and Tokyo Stock Exchange, it comfortably outpaces other developed markets such as Singapore and Switzerland, highlighting Australia‘s regional prominence and growing global demand for Australian stocks.

Outlook for Australian Equities

Analysts expect 2025 to be another strong year for Australian equities, supported by moderate growth, disinflation, and ongoing structural reforms. While U.S. and Japanese markets may continue to dominate global portfolios, the global demand for Australian stocks is unmistakable, with both retail and institutional players adding ASX-listed names to their offerings. IG Primes latest move, in partnership with CBOE, ensures that institutional clients can capitalize on this trend with confidence, backed by robust infrastructure and a commitment to client-centric innovation.
