Where to find all pricing information for ASX Markets and Insights
Australia's benchmark framework continues to evolve with the introduction of SOFIA®, the Secured Overnight Funding Index Australia.
For many years, Australian markets have relied on BBSW and AONIA as core reference rates for funding, lending, derivatives and risk management.
At the same time, the Australian repo market has grown significantly and become an increasingly important source of secured funding and liquidity across financial markets.
SOFIA brings greater transparency to this growing market through a robust benchmark derived from Australian repo market transactions.
ASX, in collaboration with Bloomberg Indices, plans to introduce new futures contracts that provide market participants with exchange-listed products to track the Bloomberg AusBond Composite Bond Index (BACM0) and Bloomberg AusBond Credit Index (BACR0), subject to regulatory clearance and industry readiness.
These indices are widely recognised as the primary indices used across the Australian fixed income market, underpinning the delivery of efficient, transparent and capital‑effective tools for the management of exposure to Australian sovereign and credit fixed income.
Hear from regulators and senior market leaders on the issues shaping the derivatives market, including the economic and geopolitical outlook, FX hedging, Australia’s bond market and tokenisation. ASX is proud to sponsor the forum.
