Explore latest and special editions of the Deloitte WA Index.
The monthly Deloitte Western Australia Stock Exchange Index is compiled from publicly available information provided by the ASX and Capital IQ on the market capitalisation of each Western Australian listed company.
A company is included as a Western Australian Company where its ASX Home Exchange is in Western Australia, regardless of whether the company is dually listed.
The base period of the Deloitte WA Index is May 2000 and for the purposes of the index this month is given a notional value of one.
Please note, if a company has been suspended or delisted during a particular period no data will be included for that month and all subsequent months until the company is re-listed or the suspension lifted. Historical information regarding the company's market capitalisation will continue to be included in the calculation of the index.
The aggregate market capitalisation of Western Australian listed companies declined by 1.3% during the month of February to close at $372.1 billion. The WA Index cooled due to its strong correlation to the commodities market, with mild northern hemisphere winters and weakened Chinese demand dominating the month.
Conversely the tracked indices rallied, led by a 7.9% growth by the Nikkei and the S&P 500 registering a rise of 5.2%. Both indices reached highs driven by strong demand for technologies and chip-gear producers such as Nvidia, Meta and Amazon.
