SYDNEY — 21 December 2025 — Australia’s financial markets are heading into the final trading stretch of the year with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under unusually bright floodlights: regulators have imposed a significant additional capital requirement on the ASX operator, demanded sharper governance and accountability across clearing and settlement, and effectively tied future “business as usual” to demonstrable technology resilience. ASIC+2Reuters+2 At the same time, the broader sharemarket — often casually called “the ASX” by investors — is trying to navigate a familiar end‑of‑year cocktail: thinner liquidity, “Santa rally” speculation, global tech volatility, commodity cross‑currents, and an interest‑rate debate
