History
When established, the All Ords had a base index of 500; this means that if the index is currently at 5000 points, the nominal value of stocks in the All Ords in Australian dollars has increased tenfold since January 1980.
On 3 April 2000, the All Ords was restructured to consist of the 500 largest companies by market capitalisation. [3] This coincided with the introduction of new benchmark indices such as the S&P/ASX 200. The importance of the All Ords has been significantly lessened by the introduction of these new indices.
- On 31 October 2007, the index was at 6873.20, its highest value prior to the Global Financial Crisis, which has since then been surpassed.
- As of 22 January 2008, it had fallen to 5,222.0 points due to turmoil related to the US 2007 subprime mortgage financial crisis, a 24 percent fall.
- On 6 March 2009, it was at a low of 3,111.7 points, in the wake of a worldwide drop in stock values, 54% less than the 1 November 2007 high.
- As of 14 September 2009, the index had rebounded to 4,568.5 points, representing a 46.8 percent increase from the 6 March 2009 low.
- On 5 August 2011, the index fell to 4159 points, with a 4.6% fall in one day, the biggest fall since the subprime mortgage crisis.
- On 13 February 2013, the index rose by 28.4 (0.59%) to 5,010.30, passing 5000 for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis.
- On 1 November 2017, the index rose to 6,005.50, passing 6000 points for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis.
- On 10 January 2020, the index closed above 7000 points for the first time.
- On 1 March 2024, the index closed above 8000 points for the first time.
