ASX Monthly Trading Report For February 2007 And Record Activity Levels

Date 02/03/2007

ASX Limited announces its monthly trading information for ASX and SFE traded markets for February 2007.

A number of daily turnover and activity records were observed on the final day of trading for the month, related to a sharp one-day fall in global equity markets and a coincidental end to the first reporting period for calendar year 2007 in Australia.

Robert Elstone, ASX’s Managing Director and CEO, said: “In a week of high volume across the capital markets in Australia and around the world, ASX’s technology and regulatory systems facilitated record trading, clearing, settlement, and supervisory activity in a timely, fair and orderly manner. It is a demonstration of the maturity and sophistication of Australia’s marketplace, and the broad and valuable role played by the new ASX Group, that the activity of this week was well risk-managed and smoothly transacted.”
