About the Australian Securities Exchange
The Australian Securities Exchange is Australia's primary securities exchange, based in Sydney. It runs a single continuous session with no midday break, unlike several of the major Asian exchanges to its north.
Being in the Southern Hemisphere, the ASX observes daylight saving in the opposite months to Northern Hemisphere markets — its clocks shift in October and April, not March and November.
