Sydney runs on AEDT (summer, UTC+11) or AEST (winter, UTC+10). Same offset as Melbourne, Canberra, Hobart. Note: Brisbane also uses AEST year-round (no DST in Queensland), so Brisbane and Sydney are on the same clock in winter and 1 h apart in summer. ASX (Australian Securities Exchange) trading runs 10 AM - 4 PM AEDT/AEST. Sydney anchors Australian financial services.
Oceania is dominated by Australia's three timezones — AEDT/AEST (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane), ACDT/ACST (Adelaide, Darwin, +30 min), AWDT/AWST (Perth). New Zealand sits an additional 2-3 h ahead. Queensland (Brisbane), Northern Territory, and Western Australia do not observe DST — so summer flips create a moving mix of neighbouring-city offsets. Auckland is one of the earliest cities to open the world business day.
