In this paper, we investigate the price interdependence between seven international stock markets, namely Irish, UK, Portuguese, US, Brazilian, Japanese and Hong Kong, using a new testing method, based on the wavelet transform to reconstruct the data series, as suggested by Lee [11]. We find evidence of intra-European (Irish, UK and Portuguese) market co-movements with the US market also weakly influencing the Irish market. We also find co-movement between the US and Brazilian markets and similar intra-Asian co-movements (Japanese and Hong Kong). Finally, we conclude that the circle of impact is that of the European markets (Irish, UK and Portuguese) on both American markets (US and Brazilian), with these in turn impacting on the Asian markets (Japanese and Hong Kong) which in turn influence the European markets. In summary, we find evidence for intra-continental relationships and an increase in importance of international spillover effects since the mid 1990s, while the importance of historical transmissions has decreased since the beginning of this century.

Introduction. Despite the start of the outbreak of the virus (COVID-19) was in December 2019, stock markets did not respond immediately as there was little information about the expected duration of the crisis and whether China would be able to contain it within a short period of time, and the risks entailing to the global economy due to the virus spread becoming pandemic that endanger the global health situation. As a result of the great uncertainty that prevailed among investors in the third week of February, stock markets around the world incurred trillions of US dollars in losses in a single week (ending February) seen as the worst week for financial markets since the 2008 global financial crisis. The initial purpose of this paper is to assess the reaction of major Asian stock markets to the early outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and its spillover effects among these markets. Material and methods. To capture switching behavior of major Asian stock markets due to the early outbreak of COVID-19, the paper uses daily price indexes of Shanghai composite, Hong Kong, Nikkei 225, and Korea stock market, during the period from December 2, 2019 to March, 13,2020. Markov switching dynamic regression (MSDR) employed to assess the behavior of each market to the response of the other markets’ behavior. Results. Our finding indicate evidence of two states that distinguish the behavior of the stock markets during the early outbreak of the pandemic. In state 1, when the significance of the pandemic was not fully realized there was a strong link and influence between these markets, but in state 2, when the scale and size of the pandemic realized these markets displayed decoupling behavior. Results also indicate, Hong Kong and Nikkie stock markets were the epicenter in both states. The impact of the pandemic news on the behavior of these markets as indicated by the transition probabilities of state 2, varied from 3 days duration effect (Hong Kong) to 3month duration effect (Nikkei 225). Discussion and conclusions. The interactive association between these stock markets is important for investors as well as for policy-makers. Increasing departure of stock prices from their fundamental driver, that is the common economic bonds linking these markets, implies increasing risk for investors in these stock markets. The duration of the shock as indicated by the transition probabilities show that Hong Kong stock exchange was the most resilient in the group, while Nikkei was the most reactive to the pandemic shock.

The subprime mortgage crisis in the U.S. in mid-2008 suggests that stock prices volatility do spillover from one market to another after international stock markets downturn. The purpose of this paper is to examine the magnitude of return and volatility spillovers from developed markets (the U.S. and Japan) to eight emerging equity markets (India, China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand) and Vietnam. Employing a mean and volatility spillover model that deals with the U.S. and Japan shocks and day effects as exogenous variables in ARMA(1,1), GARCH(1,1) for Asian emerging markets, the study finds some interesting findings. Firstly, the day effect is present on six out of nine studied markets, except for the Indian, Taiwanese and Philippine. Secondly, the results of return spillover confirm significant spillover effects across the markets with different magnitudes. Specifically, the U.S. exerts a stronger influence on the Malaysian, Philippine and Vietnamese market compared with Japan. In contrast, Japan has a higher spillover effect on the Chinese, Indian, Korea, and Thailand than the U.S. For the Indonesian market, the the return effect is equal. Finally, there is no evidence of a volatility effect of the U.S. and Japanese markets on the Asian emerging markets in this study.
