NEW DELHI: First, the good news. You have more than 10 market holidays waiting for you next year.<\/p>\n

The bad news is the number of such holidays in 2019 stands at 15, which misses out by a whisker in comparison to 2018 which has a tally of 16.<\/p>\n

It's less than 20 days to go when the new year kicks in. The fact is, it has been a challenging year for stocks as an asset class. With domestic indices offering zero-to-negative returns this year, investors are looking forward to 2019 and what it may hold.<\/p>\n

But before all that, let's take a look at when you can breathe easy, hold a cup of tea and don't have to worry about Modi's reactions or Trump's tweets that can make or break the market's fortunes.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, like all years, January 1 will be a trading day for stocks.<\/p>\n

January or February will have no let-up, but March is a respite as it hands out two. The stock market will be shut on March 4 for Mahashivratri and on March 20 for Holi.<\/p>\n

Other major holidays that'll fall in the middle of the year are Good Friday<\/a> (April 19), Ramzan Id or Id-Ul-Fitr (June 5), Bakri Id or Id-Ul-Zua (August 12), Ganesh Chaturthi<\/a> (September 2), Moharram (September 10) and Dussehra (October 8).<\/p>\n

Diwali-Balipratipada falling on October 28, Guru Nanak Jayanti on November 12 and Christmas on December 25 bring up the year-end market holidays.<\/p>\n
