The Australian Securities Exchange trades Monday to Friday with no lunch break. The opening and closing auction times include a small random element of a few seconds, so the open is at about 10:00 am. Since June 2025, ASX opens all stocks in a single auction rather than in the old alphabetical groups.

ASX hours are set in Sydney time, which observes daylight saving (AEDT, UTC+11, from early October to early April; AEST, UTC+10, the rest of the year). The live clock above handles the change automatically for your time zone.
