A company called ASX, which operates a bourse in Australia, has reported its annual profit. The profit is higher than the previous year, with an increase of more than 5%.

This increase is attributed to heightened market volatility, which led to more trading activity. As a result, the company's shares have risen.

Further details about ASX's annual profit and its impact on the company's shares can be found in the original report from Reuters, as reported in the Galveston County Daily News.
