About Medan
Medan operates at UTC+7 year-round, with no daylight saving. New York noon equals 11 PM here in summer, midnight in winter. Trading firms on Jalan Pemuda open at 08:00; the Friday midday prayer break runs about 11:30–13:00, so scheduling calls after 14:00 local time avoids the interruption.
