    The ASX selects index constituents exclusively from eligible companies listed on its platform.

    What are the benefits and risks of trading AU shares CFDs?

    Trading in AU shares, like any trading decision, involves potential benefits and risks that should be carefully considered.

    Understanding the nature of the stock market and the various factors that can cause prices to fluctuate is important. It's recommended to thoroughly research your trading options and possibly seek advice from a financial advisor or professional before engaging in AU shares trading.
