In June 2025, nearly *********** options were traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). This was slightly above the monthly average of around *********** recorded since January 2020. However, The ASX options market is much lower than the volume of futures traded on the ASX. Options and futures are similar in that they are both financial derivatives that provide an investor the ability to buy (or sell) a financial asset for an agreed price at a certain point in time, but they differ in that futures require that the transaction take place, whereas options do not. Options and the coronavirus pandemic Coinciding with the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the volume of options traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) spiked in **********. It is notable that the spike in terms of the value of options traded was much greater than in terms of volume. It is also notable that the majority of the spike in this month came from call options - which enable the option holder to purchase a financial instrument (like shares) for an agreed price at a date in the future. By contrast, put options enable holders to sell a financial instrument at an agreed value in the future. This suggests that the increased value for this month was driven by investors trying to capitalize on the pandemic by locking in lower prices for the future, with the (correct) assumption that prices would rise again in the following months. How is the value of derivatives calculated? Calculating the value of derivatives is different to an item like shares, in that derivatives contracts do not include the underlying asset price. Both options and futures are contracts which provide the ability to purchase a financial asset in the future for an agreed price – meaning the purchase of the contract does not include the purchasing of the asset itself. Generally, the ‘notional value’ is used to calculate the value of derivatives – which includes both the cost of the contract itself as well as the underlying asset. Note how options do not require the transaction take place, but yet the value of transaction is included. This one reason behind why, for example, banks in the U.S. and banks in the UK can hold derivates that are well above the national gross domestic product of their respective countries.

The Market Research and Statistical Services industry has performed poorly because of mixed demand across years for market research and related services. Industry revenue is anticipated to shrink at an annualised 1.3% over the five years through 2024-25, totalling $3.6 billion, with revenue falling by 1.5% in the current year. The overall revenue decrease can be attributed to mixed growth in prior years because of uncertainty and demand changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and ABS funding volatility. Industry revenue displays significant volatility from year to year, mainly because of fluctuations in ABS funding by the Federal Government. As the next census is set to occur in 2026, ABS revenue over the past two years has been constrained. Some companies that previously used industry businesses have been increasingly performing market research and statistical analysis in-house. Many external companies have improved their technology and data collection capabilities, which has made it more cost-effective to perform these activities internally. While the introduction of artificial intelligence has provided cost-cutting opportunities for market research businesses, it has also encouraged clients to bring industry services in-house, reducing demand. Profitability has also waned because of heightened price competition and wage costs increasing as a share of revenue. Ongoing growth in online media and big data presents both challenges and opportunities for market research businesses. Mounting demand for research and statistics relating to new media audience numbers and advertising effectiveness represents a potential opportunity. Even so, market research businesses will face challenges in developing effective measurement systems, and competition from information technology specialists that are developing similar systems will intensify. Despite these challenges, industry revenue is forecast to increase at an annualised 2.0% through 2029-30 to reach $3.9 billion.

The Finance sector's operating environment was previously characterised by record-low interest rates. Nonetheless, high inflation prompted the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) to hike the cash rate from May 2022 onwards. This shift allowed financial institutions to impose higher loan charges, propelling their revenue. Banks raised interest rates quicker than funding costs in the first half of 2022-23, boosting net interest margins. However, sophisticated competition and digital disruption have reshaped the sector and nibbled at the Big Four's dominance, weighing on ADIs' performance. In the first half of 2025, the fierce competition has forced ADIs to trim lending rates even ahead of RBA moves to protect their slice of the mortgage market. Higher cash rates initially widened net interest margins, but the expiry of cheap TFF funding and a fierce mortgage war are now compressing spreads, weighing on ADIs' profitability. Although ANZ's 2024 Suncorp Bank takeover highlights some consolidation, the real contest is unfolding in tech. Larger financial institutions are combatting intensified competition from neobanks and fintechs by upscaling their technology investments, strengthening their strategic partnerships with cloud providers and technology consulting firms and augmenting their digital offerings. Notable examples include the launch of ANZ Plus by ANZ and Commonwealth Bank's Unloan. Meanwhile, investor demand for rental properties, elevated residential housing prices and sizable state-infrastructure pipelines have continued to underpin loan growth, offsetting the drag from weaker mortgage affordability and volatile business sentiment. Overall, subdivision revenue is expected to rise at an annualised 8.3% over the five years through 2024-25, to $524.6 billion. This growth trajectory includes an estimated 4.8% decline in 2024-25 driven by rate cuts in 2025, which will weigh on income from interest-bearing assets. The Big Four banks will double down on technology investments and partnerships to counter threats from fintech startups and neobanks. As cybersecurity risks and APRA regulations evolve, financial institutions will gear up to strengthen their focus on shielding sensitive customer data and preserving trust, lifting compliance and operational costs. In the face of fierce competition, evolving regulations and shifting customer preferences, consolidation through M&As is poised to be a viable trend for survival and growth, especially among smaller financial institutions like credit unions. While rate cuts will challenge profitability within the sector, expansionary economic policies are poised to stimulate business and mortgage lending activity, presenting opportunities for strategic growth in a dynamic market. These trends are why Finance subdivision revenue is forecast to rise by an annualised 1.1% over the five years through the end of 2029-30, to $554.9 billion
