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.
This year the market capitalisation of Western Australian listed entities closed at A$362.7 billion, an increase of 3.7% effectively offsetting the decrease seen in 2024. During the past 12 months, we’ve observed some interesting commodity price movements and witnessed strong M&A activity within the mining and metals sector, which is sure to keep resource investors on their toes. The final quarter also saw the first impact of decreasing interest rates hitting the market.
That, along with the increasing global geopolitical tensions, saw money return to the market, and a lot of it finding its way into the gold sector. Interestingly, without the last quarter push, we were on track for a further retraction of 3.8% in total market capitalisations from 2024 levels. It was an impressive final push to close the year out in positive territory.
