今日澳洲證券交易所：2024 年 7 月 5 日 – 福布斯澳洲顧問

The ASX as we know it today was created in July 2006, via a merger of the Australian Stock Exchange and the Sydney Futures Exchange. The acronym stands for ‘Australian Securities Exchange’, and ASX is how it has been best known ever since its creation.

我們今天所知的澳洲證券交易所成立於 2006 年 7 月，由澳洲證券交易所和雪梨期貨交易所合併而成。該縮寫詞代表“澳大利亞證券交易所”，自成立以來，ASX 就為人們所熟知。

The story of the ASX, however, started long before the merger. The Australian Stock Exchange Limited was founded in 1987, when Australian Parliament enabled six independent state-based stock exchanges to amalgamate into a single national entity.

然而，ASX 的故事早在合併之前就開始了。澳洲證券交易所有限公司成立於 1987 年，當時澳洲議會允許六家獨立的州證券交易所合併為一個國家實體。

“Each of those exchanges brought with it a history of share trading and exchange services dating back to the 19th century,” the ASX says of its history, noting that throughout the 1920s, Sydney’s first radio station would broadcast the Sydney Stock Exchange calls twice a day.

澳洲證券交易所在談到其歷史時說道：「這些交易所中的每一個都帶來了可追溯到19 世紀的股票交易和交易服務的歷史。」並指出，在整個20 年代，雪梨的第一家廣播電台每年都會廣播兩次悉尼證券交易所的電話會議。

A century on from those radio calls and, thanks to the digitalisation of our world, the ASX is now updated consistently throughout market trading hours, which occurs daily from 10am to 4pm (AEST time).

這些無線電呼叫已經過去一個世紀了，由於世界的數位化，ASX 現在在整個市場交易時間內持續更新，即每天上午 10 點至下午 4 點（澳大利亞東部標準時間）。

At the time of writing, the ASX has a market capitalisation of $2.3 trillion and is one of the world’s top 10 listed exchange groups.

截至撰寫本文時，澳洲證券交易所的市值為 2.3 兆美元，是全球十大上市交易所集團之一。

However, in a single day of trading, the ASX can fluctuate heavily depending on a multitude of factors in both the international and local economy–such as rate rises.

然而，在單日交易中，澳洲證券交易所可能會因國際和當地經濟的多種因素（例如昇息）而大幅波動。

With such constant change, investing in the ASX is a personal decision that should only be made after careful consideration of one’s investment knowledge, risk appetite and financial position.

在這種不斷變化的情況下，投資澳洲證券交易所是一個個人決定，只有在仔細考慮自己的投資知識、風險偏好和財務狀況後才能做出。
