ASX provides access to exchange data largely in its
raw format, while customisable offerings and data product sub-sets are
available via third-party data re-sellers.

 

Analysis

Market activity and broker trade reporting is
available.

Aggregation

ASX aggregates price data across its exchange
trading facilities within the end-of-day price summary.

 

Support

ASX market data is offered at low-latency and on a
fully managed fibre domestic and global network, and through the ASX Australian
