National Stock Exchange of Australia (NSX) is a stock exchange based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is owned and operated by NSX Limited, which is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange on 13 January 2005. On 20 December 2006 the Newcastle Stock Exchange formally sought approval and was granted a change of name by the minister^[which?] to National Stock Exchange of Australia and still trades by the acronym of "NSX".

The NSX lists various companies within Australia and overseas that meet its listing rule requirements. Trading is all-electronic based on time and price priority using NETS (the NSX Electronic Trading System) which is based on the NASDAQ OMX X-stream trading platform. Settlement of securities is electronic and on a T+2 basis using the ASX Settlement and Transfer Corporation's ("ASTC") CHESS system.

History

The NSX was founded in 1937 and in the past had listed as many as 300 local and regional companies. Some grew to be significant companies such as Golden Circle and Ricegrowers (Sunrice). It was reactivated in its present form in 2000 with about 70 listed companies.
