On 4th February 2026, Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) announced collaboration with Bloomberg Indices to introduce new futures contracts that provide market participants with exchange-listed products to track the Bloomberg AusBond Composite Bond Index (BACM0) and Bloomberg AusBond Credit Index (BACR0), subject to regulatory clearance and industry readiness.
These indices are widely recognised as representative benchmarks of Australian fixed income markets and are designed to deliver efficient, transparent, and capital-effective solutions for managing exposure to Australian sovereign and credit fixed income markets.
The ASX-Bloomberg AusBond Index Futures will give market participants the ability to manage interest rate and credit risk, replicate index performance, and implement new hedging and liquidity management strategies.
Listed on ASX 24, the contracts will have quarterly expiries and be cash‑settled, similar in contract design to ASX’s Treasury Bond Futures.
