calculation
The All Ordinaries is a price index in which almost all public companies of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) based in Sydney are listed. The market capitalization of the companies in the All Ordinaries is 99 percent of the Australian stock market. The index level is determined solely on the basis of share prices and only adjusted for income from subscription rights and special payments. The weighting is based on the market capitalization of the listed companies. Corporate actions such as stock splits have no (distorting) influence on the index. The calculation is updated every second during ASX trading hours from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. local time (00:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. CET ).
history
Historical overview
The All Ordinaries was founded on January 1, 1980 with a base value of 500 points and was calculated back to 1938 (daily rates) and 1875 (monthly rates). Milestones in the development of the All Ordinaries were October 2, 1985, when the index closed at 1,009.20 points for the first time above the 1,000-point mark, and July 30, 1987, when it traded at 2,022.40 points for the first time finished above the 2,000 mark.
In 2000, Standard & Poor’s agreed to manage the All Ordinaries. On April 3, 2000, the index was restructured and renamed S & P / ASX All Ordinaries . It has since included the 500 largest companies by market capitalization. Before that, 229 to 330 companies were listed in the index. The restructuring coincided with the introduction of the new benchmark indices such as the S & P / ASX 50 and the S & P / ASX 200 . The importance of the All Ordinaries has been reduced with the introduction of the new indices.
In the following years the index marked further record levels. On June 6, 1999, the All Ordinaries closed at 3,032.90 points for the first time above the 3,000-point mark. The 4,000 point mark fell for the first time on December 21, 2004, when the index closed at 4,018.30 points. The All Ordinaries crossed the limit of 5,000 points for the first time on March 24, 2006 with a final score of 5,001.60 points. The index reached the 6,000-point mark on February 23, 2007, when it ended trading at 6,009.30 points.
On November 1, 2007, the All Ordinaries hit an all-time high of 6,873.20 points. In the course of the international financial crisis , which had its origin in the US real estate crisis in the summer of 2007, the index fell to a low of 3,111.70 points by March 6, 2009. Since November 1, 2007, this corresponds to a decrease of 54.7 percent. March 6, 2009 marked the end of the downward trend. From spring 2009 the All Ordinaries was on the way up again. By April 11, 2011, it rose by 62.8 percent to a closing level of 5,064.90 points.
The weakening of the global economy and the worsening of the euro crisis led to a slump in the Australian benchmark index. On September 26, 2011, the All Ordinaries closed trading at 3,927.60 points. The loss since the peak on April 11, 2011 is 22.4 percent. The announcement of new bond purchase programs by the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve , which are basically unlimited, led to a recovery in prices on the stock market. The monetary stimulus played a bigger role in the price formation than the global economic slowdown and the state of the companies. On January 3, 2013, the index closed at 4,761.40 points, 21.2 percent higher than on September 26, 2011.
