Average daily equity trading volume in Australia 2017-2024, by market
While the average number of daily trades on Australian equity markets has generally increased since 2017, this growth has not been linear. From an average of 1.4 million trades per day in the first quarter of 2017, this figure had increased to two million trades per day by the first quarter of 2024. For all periods reported, between 70 and 75 percent of these trades were on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), with the remainder being on the Chi-X Australia platform, which is operated by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE).
