As the most important component of the capital market, the stock market has always been regarded as the “barometer” of the macroeconomy. However, many researchers have found that the stock market and macroeconomy are operating separately. This paper uses the dynamic Bayesian network method to study the dynamic relationship between the Chinese macroeconomic system and the stock market. The study found that the correlation between the macroeconomic system and the stock market is not consistent in different time periods. For most of the time, the stock system and the macroeconomic system are relatively independent. However, several macroeconomic factors such as Purchase Management Index could affect the stock market through some industries. A conclusion is drawn that the “barometer” function of the stock market is weak and easy to be damaged by factors such as the irrational sentiment of investors.

Abstract: Islamic teaching that is a straight path but not a rigid religion, it is a line-giver to the problems encountered by humans in the course of their lives. Muslims should have a concept that contains a way of life to face the development and progress of the times with various problems. One area that is always warm to talk about is the economy. This problem is getting wider, more varied and more complex. It is not uncommon to find it complicated, especially when confronted with Islamic law. One of them is about the capital market. This journal tries to examine from the perspective of jurisprudence about the jala of the existing capital markets. If we look at the system of stock bidding mechanisms in the capital market, it will be clear that there is a similarity with the capital system contained in the conception of Islamic fiqh, known as mudharabah or qirodh. It is seen from the investors, executors, the nature of capital, capital, and profit sharing of the same shape. Thus, the system of buying and selling of shares in the stock market is clearly visible equation with mudharabah in Islamic jurisprudence.

Significance Investor appetite for Saudi equities has been demonstrated in the huge over-subscription in the IPO of 20% of an internet affiliate of Saudi Telecom Company, which raised almost USD1bn. The Capital Market Authority has also approved Almunajem Foods Company’s request to sell 18 million shares, representing 30% of its capital. Impacts The proceeds of the recent stock market flotations will be used to invest in new domestic and regional projects and acquisitions. The increasingly dominant Public Investment Fund (PIF) would be able to boost its finances through a fresh sale of Aramco shares. Despite the benefits of higher oil prices, there remains a risk that the current surge will damage global energy demand.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyse the role played by institutional investors in a firm’s decision to hire sustainability assurance services and to determine the benefits of sustainability assurance for the functioning of the capital market. This analysis is complemented by examining the quality of the sustainability assurance service that institutional investors demand. Design/methodology/approach The authors selected a sample of 1,564 multinational firms from 2002 to 2017. Panel data logit and generalised method of moments (GMM) regressions were estimated to consider decisions about hiring sustainability assurance services or not, and the assurance quality indexes constructed by a checklist based on the academic literature, respectively. Findings Institutional pressures associated with the environmental and social impacts of a firm’s activities lead to the convergence of institutional investor attitudes towards corporate sustainability, so that, regardless of their investment horizon, they promote the hiring of sustainability assurance services by corporate boards, which favours analyst precision and a reduction in the cost of capital. Long-term (LT) institutional investors exert influence through a selection mechanism, whereas short-term (ST) institutional investors exert influence through their presence on the board. Once the company has decided to provide assurance about its sustainability report, both types of institutional investors promote a higher quality of such service, although this is not well valued by the stock market. Research limitations/implications This paper extends research on the monitoring role of institutional investors into the sustainability assurance context. Researchers may benefit from this paper’s findings when they examine the factors that drive the hiring of sustainability assurance services and their characteristics. This paper also shows that sustainability assurance services are a significant weakness due to the lack of standardisation in comparison with financial auditing, which complicates the assessment of their quality by stock market participants, thereby penalising those companies that provide more complete sustainability assurance reports. Practical implications Considering this paper’s findings, it seems advisable that regulators establish a normative framework to standardise sustainability assurance processes. The results can also be used as an orientation for both companies, to design their sustainability disclosure policies and regulators, to improve the running of the capital market. Social implications Sustainability assurance services have a positive effect on the running of the capital market and improve external stakeholder decision-making by providing more reliable information, which, in turn, will favour the implementation of more sustainable actions that contribute to the attainment of sustainable development goals. Originality/value This is one of the first papers to analyse the effect of institutional ownership on a firm’s decision to hire sustainability assurance services and consider the effect of the institutional investors’ investment horizon – LT versus ST – and the channel – selection methods and/or active engagement – used by them to exert their influence. The authors also propose several measures of sustainability assurance quality to demonstrate the relevance of the contents of the assurance statement for the capital market in general and the institutional investors in particular.

This study aims to empirically confirm that macroeconomic factors, namely inflation, the rupiah exchange rate, and BI interest rates can determine the development of sharia stock prices. The sample in this study were listed on the Indonesian Sharia Stock Index (ISSI) in the Consumer Goods Industry sector with a total of 13 companies that met the sampling criteria. The results of the analysis using multiple linear regression techniques, prove that all macroeconomic factors namely inflation, the rupiah exchange rate and the yBI rate had no significant effect on sharia stock prices. The results of this study confirm that the sharia stock market is strong macroeconomic fluctuations even though in a limited period. The implications of this research for investors can be given special attention and consideration in determining sharia investment as an alternative investment in the capital market.
