Australian share price movements
This chart is comprised of quarter end index levels for the ASX All Ordinaries Share Price Index chart. The All Ordinaries index (All Ordinaries or All Ords) consists of the 500 largest eligible companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Size is calculated by market capitalisation (current share price X number of shares on issue). This chart shows the All Ordinaries Share Price Index which does not take into account dividends. For a chart that looks at performance when dividends are reinvested you should use the All Ordinaries Accumulation Index. The index was established in 1980 with a base of 500. S&P DOW JONES INDICES is the owner and operator of the S&P/ASX index series, including the All Ordinaries.
