ASX 24 offers near 24-hour trading in the SPI 200 Equity Index, with 30-day Notes and 90-day Bank Bills, Australian Treasury Bonds of 3- and 10-year maturities, as well as the recent commodities addition to the platform, Australian Grain Futures," said David Ritchie, VP, regional manager, North America for ASX Limited.
