The COVID19 pandemic which came unprecedentedly has brought forward a lot of confusion and unrest in the world. There are a lot of changes with regard to the global landscape in multiple ways. SARS-CoV-2 is the primary virus, which is the root contributor to the COVID19 outbreak, which started in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, in December 2019. It did not take much time to spread across the world. This pandemic has resulted in a universal health crisis, along with a major decline in the global economy. One of the major reasons for the fluctuation in the stock price is supply and demand. When the number of people who want to sell their stocks outnumbers those who want to purchase it, the stock price drops. Due to the result in the gap, the financial markets will suffer in the short duration, but in the long run, markets will correct themselves and would increase again. There is a sharp decline in the stock price because of the pandemic. The current scenario has resulted in a world health crisis which has contributed to global and economic crises. Almost all financial markets across the world have been affected by the recent health crisis, with stock and bond values falling gradually and severely. In the United States, the Dow Jones and S& P 500 indices have fallen by more than 20%. The Shanghai Stock Exchange and the New York Dow Jones Stock Exchange both indicate that they had a significant impact on China’s and the United States’ financial markets. The primary purpose of this paper is to determine the impact of COVID19 on stock markets. The rapid spread of the virus has left a major impact on the global financial markets. There is a link between the pandemic and the stock market, and this has been studied in this paper. Along with it, an attempt is taken to compare stock price returns in pre-COVID19 and post-COVID19 scenarios. The stock market in India faced uncertainty during the pandemic, according to the findings.

Abstract Application of simple prescriptions of technical analysis on the Warsaw Exchange Market (GPW) has been analyzed using several stocks belonging to WIG20 group as examples. Only long positions have been considered. Three well-known technical-analysis indicators of the market have been investigated: the Donchian channels, the Relative Strength Index, and Moving Average Convergence-Divergence indicator. Optimal values of parameters of those indicators have been found by „brute force“ evaluation of (linear) returns. It has been found that trading based on both Donchian channels and Relative Strength Index easily outperform the „buy and hold“ strategy if supplied with optimal values of parameters. However, those optimal values are by now means universal in the sense that they depend on particular stocks, and are functions of time. The optimal management of capital in the stock market strongly depends on the time perspective of trading. Finally, it has been argued that the criticism of technical analysis which is often delivered by academic quantitative financial science is unjustified as based of false premises.

This article examines how investor sentiment affects stock returns on Vietnam's stock market. Investor sentiment index is measured by a relative strength index (RSI) of 57 companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange from January 1, 2015 to July 31, 2020. Control variables include investors' stock trading behavior, firm size, and cash flow per share. Using Fama-MacBeth regression estimation and general least square estimation (GSL) on a daily basis, both methods find the sentiment of high investors producing higher stock returns, on the contrary, the sentiment of low investors erodes stock returns. Different from the results of Brown and Cliff (2004) [Brown, G. W., & Cliff, M. T. (2004). Investor sentiment and the near-term stock market. Journal of empirical finance, 11(1), 1-27], the article found that the investor sentiment factor plays the most important role in explaining the return of the stock market compared to the rest of the factors.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether investor sentiment as measured by technical analysis indicators has an impact on stock returns. The research period is from 2015 to mid-2020. 1-year government bond yields, financial data, transaction data of 57 companies in the VN100 basket, and VNIndex are analyzed. The investor sentiment variable is measured by each technical analysis indicator (Relative Strength Index – RSI, Psychological Line Index – PLI), and the general sentiment variable is established based on extracting the principal component from individual indicators. The paper uses two regression methods – Fama-MacBeth and Generalized Least Square (GLS) – for five different research models. The results show that sentiment plays an important role in stock returns in the Vietnamese stock market. Even controlling the factors such as cash flow per share, firm size, market risk premium, and stock price volatility in the studied models, the impact of sentiment is significant in both the model using individual technical indicators and the model using the general sentiment variable. Furthermore, investor sentiment has a stronger power to explain excess stock returns than their trading behavior. The implication from the results shows that the Vietnamese stock market is inefficient, in which psychology is a very important issue and participants need to pay due attention to this factor. AcknowledgmentThis study was funded by the Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City (IUH), Vietnam (grant number: 21/1TCNH03).

ABSTRACT Stock investment is an investment that has a high risk. An investor needs to do an investment analysis before deciding to invest. Investment analysis can be carried out using both fundamental and technical approaches. Technical analysis is often an option because it is fast and easy to apply. This study aims to examine the level of differences in the use of technical analysis with the moving average convergence-divergence (MACD) method and the relative strength index (RSI) as a means of making stock investment decisions. The research method used in this research is the descriptive analysis method. This research was conducted on a group of banking stocks that are included in LQ45. The results showed that there was no difference between the price of the buy signal and the sell signal before and after using the MACD and RSI methods. The results also show that there is no difference between the buy signal and the sell signal between MACD and RSI. Therefore, it can be stated that for the same object and period, the MACD and RSI methods produce the same investment decisions (buy signal and sell signal). Keywords: technical analysis, MACD, RSI, buy signal, sell signal   ABSTRAK Investasi saham merupakanjenis investasi yang memiliki resiko tinggi.

The development of the state's economy is inconceivable without the revitalization of investment processes in the field of financial investment, which are based on operations in the stock market. Simultaneously, the financial investment is characterized by speculative risk, which involves the possibility of obtaining both income and losses from the tradable securities. Such risk creates volatility of financial markets, an indicator of which is the dynamics of changes in stock indices that reflect the value of share capital of the largest enterprises and financial institutions of the state. The analysis of the results of recent scientific work carried out in the paper has shown a significant interest among the world's leading financial scientists to the issue of assessing the volatility of stock markets, which becomes of particular relevance subject to the investment time horizon. The study revealed a strong linear direct correlation between the indices of the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) and the Ukraine Stock Exchange (PFTS). The analysis of the impact of the investment time horizon on the indicators of return and volatility was carried out for the Kazakh and Ukrainian stock markets. As a result, it was determined that the stock markets of both countries are characterized by a significant level of volatility, which is offset by high return and tends to decrease with increasing investment horizon. Analysis of the return and risk ratio using the Sharpe Ratio demonstrated an increase in investment attractiveness with increasing investment horizon.
