In addition to Michel's reply:

SYSTIMESTAMP returns the system date, including fractional seconds and time zone, of the system on which the database resides. The return type is TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE.

CURRENT_DATE and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP return DATE and TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE in user's session time zone (set with ALTER SESSION SET TIME_ZONE.) Hth,
