We use daily returns to identify seasonality on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange KLSE , The Stock Exchange, Bombay SEB , the Stock Exchange of Singapore SES and The Stock Exchange of Thailand SET.

On all four, we find strong day-of-the-week effects.

Month-of-the-year effects exist on the KLSE and the SES but not on the SET or the BSE. Strong Chinese New Year effects are evident on the SES and the KLSE. The Chinese New Year effect on the SET is among small capitalization stocks. On the KLSE, we also find Islamic New Year and Vesak effects, but no Aidilfitri effect.

Only weak holiday effects concerning several Indian lunar holidays are evident on the BSE. In general we find that cultural holidays evidence a stronger effect than state holidays. These results confirm the importance of cultural influences in the pricing of stocks.
