F7 Share Market
From April 2000, figures refer to the S&P/ASX 200. Prior to April 2000, the All Ordinaries Index is used. The
exceptions are Dividend yield and Price/Earnings ratio, which refer to the MSCI Australia index.
From April 2000, the S&P/ASX 200 Banks index is based on S&P and Morgan Stanley Capital Internationals
Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS). Prior to April 2000, the index was based on the ASX industry
classification. The GICS classification excludes merchant banks and diversified financial institutions while the
ASX index included these. From April 2000 onwards, the series has been derived by applying changes in the
GICS index to the final value of the ASX index. The index is a subset of the S&P/ASX 200 Industrials index.
The S&P/ASX 200 Industrials index reflects all stocks in the S&P/ASX 200 that are not included in the
S&P/ASX 200 Resources index. Prior to April 2000, the data refer to the All Industrials index.
The S&P/ASX 200 Resources index consists of stocks in the Energy GICS sector and the Metals and Mining
GICS industry classification. Prior to April 2000, the data refer to the All Resources index.
Share price indices summarise movements in share prices resulting from trading on the ASX.
Accumulation index indicates the total pre-tax return from investments in listed shares after reinvesting
Share price indices, the Accumulation index and the Dividend yield are calculated at end-month.
Price/Earnings ratio is the end of month price/earnings ratio. The series uses 12-month trailing underlying
profits for MSCI Australia companies. The data are based on free-float market capitalisation and sourced from
MSCI through Thomson Reuters.
Market capitalisation of listed domestic equities is calculated at end-month for all equities listed on the ASX
Mainboard, including preference shares and excluding overseas-domiciled stocks. Prior to April 1978, market
capitalisation includes all listed equities, excluding preference shares.
Average daily turnover of equities is the value of monthly equities turnover on the ASX Mainboard, divided by
the number of trading days in the month.
