Purpose: Analyze the data and draw there were any relevant conclusions between the meetings of the central bank and the movements of the banking corporations in the stock market.
Methodology: To carry out this study, it was necessary to obtain two extremely important data sets (exact dates of the ECB meetings, stock market valuations of the four banking entities understudy). Both were obtained by searching on specialized websites. Then a comparison of the variations, a correlation table, which will allow us to mathematically affirm whether there is a linear relationship and proportionality between the variations of the banks or not, were analyzed.
Main Findings: The results obtained indicate that such influence on the part of the European Central Bank on the financial entities listed on the IBEX35 does not exist, since the variations between bank shares are random and maybe would be better explained by other hypotheses or inputs.
Application of Study: This work discards the hypothesis proposed by the student, although it manages to find other interesting relationships between banks because of the correlation analysis carried out in the analysis part of the work.
Novelty/Originality: Establish the relationship between the meetings of the central bank and the movements of the banking corporations in the stock market.
