This paper analyzes long-term equilibrium relationships between the Karachi stock exchange index and a group of macroeconomic variables. The macroeconomic variables are represented by the gross domestic product, the consumer price index, M2 and the exchange rate. We employ a multiple regression model to explore such relationships during 1991 to 2012. Our results indicated a "causal" relationship between the stock market and the economy analysis of our results indicates that KSE 100 index has a strong positive impact on GDP and M2 in Pakistan. Whereas it has a negative and significant impact on CPI and exchange rate in Pakistan. Granger causality test shows that KSE 100 index Granger causes GDP, CPI, M2, EXRT, AGRI, FDI and BOT and the direction of causality runs from KSE 100 index to these variables.

This paper analyzes long-term equilibrium relationships between a group of macroeconomic variables and the Karachi Stock Exchange Index. The macroeconomic variables are represented by the industrial production index, the consumer price index, M1, and the value of an investment earning the money market rate. We employ a vector error correction model to explore such relationships during 1973:1 to 2004:4. We found that these five variables are cointegrated and two long-term equilibrium relationships exist among these variables. Our results indicated a "causal" relationship between the stock market and the economy. Analysis of our results indicates that industrial production is the largest positive determinant of Pakistani stock prices, while inflation is the largest negative determinant of stock prices in Pakistan. We found that while macroeconomic variables Granger-caused stock price movements, the reverse causality was observed in case of industrial production and stock prices. Furthermore, we found that statistically significant lag lengths between fluctuations in the stock market and changes in the real economy are relatively short.

The stock price has a close relationship with some macroeconomic variables. As examples of the main macroeconomic variables can be shown that exchange rates, inflation, interest rate, growth rates. This paper empirically examined the relationship between the local stock market indexes and exchange rate (USD) in six Eurasian countries namely Turkey, Germany, France, Netherlands, Russia, France and India. The paper set out by testing existence of a long-term relationship between considered two variables using the Engle-Granger (1987), Johansen (1988, 1995) and Johansen-Juselius (1990) cointegration methods. Results of Engle- Granger cointegration test showed that there is no cointegration linkage between two variables under consideration. Furthermore, The Johansen cointegration test found that there is a long-term relationship between two variables (variables in the two countries). Under the VAR (Vector Autoregressive) and VEC (Vector Error Correction) models appllied the Granger causality test, revealed an unidirectional casual relationship between two variables in each of the six countries. In addition as regards the relationship While there is a unidirectional causal relationship running from exchange rate to stock market for four countries. However this relation is casual running from stock market to exchange rate for other two countries. According to the direction of the relationship these results that relationship between stock prices and exchange rate in four countries supports for the “Traditional Approach”. Furthermore, this relation also supports for the “Portfolio Approach” for other two countries.

This study seeks evidence supporting the existence of market efficiency and exchange rate sensitivity on stock prices in the Johannesburg stock exchange (JSE). The sample includes the daily price indices of all securities listed on the JSE, and the exchange rate of the USD/Rand for the period since January 2000 to December 2004. The results from the unit root test, the ADF test and the causality test at the Granger sense provide evidence that the Johannesburg stock exchange (JSE) is informationally efficient. It has a long run comovement with exchange rate, and long run equilibrium or steady state. Hence, in JSE there is a strong possibility that foreign direct investors and forex market traders cannot influence and gain abnormal extra benefits by using exchange rate mechanism or by using exchange rate to forecast stock prices in the market. So, JSE is semi-strong form efficient. Through cointegration test, this paper gives more insight on the concept of market efficiency and the reliability of the results. These results are important to security analysts, investors, and security regulatory exchange bodies in policy making decision to improve the market conditions

The Consumer Price Index (CPI), stock prices and the rupiah exchange rate to the US dollar are important macroeconomic variables which their movements show the economic performance and can affect the monetary and fiscal policies of Indonesia. This makes forecasting effort of these variables become important for policy planning. While many previous studies only focus on examining the effect among macroeconomic variables, this study uses ARIMA (univariate method), transfer function and VAR (multivariate methods) to measure the forecasting accuracy and also observing the effect between these macroeconomic variables. The results showed that the multivariate methods gave better explanation about the relationship between variables than the simple one. Otherwise, the results of accuracy comparison showed that the multivariate methods did not always yield better forecast than the simple one, and these conditions in line with the results and conclusions of M3 and M4 competition.

The purpose of this study was to analyze long-run causal relationship between ISE (Islamabad Stock Exchange) and macroeconomic variables in Pakistan and also find out the direction of causality. The impact of macroeconomic variables on stock prices of ISE has not been previously discussed by the researchers. The monthly data from January 2001 to December 2010 was used in this study. The set of macroeconomic variables include Exchange Rate (ER), Foreign Exchange Reserves (FER), Industrial Production Index (IPI), Interest Rate (IR), Imports (M), Money Supply (MS), Wholesale Price Index (WPI) and Exports (X). Descriptive statistics and Unit root test, Johansen Co-integration Technique and Granger Causality Technique were employed to analyze the long-run and causal relationship between the macroeconomic variables and stock prices.  The results revealed that M showed positive and significant relationship but Foreign Exchange Reserves (FER) and Industrial Production Index (IPI) indicated positive and insignificant relationship with the stock prices. Exchange rate(ER), Money supply (MS) and  Whole sale price index(WPI) showed negative but significant relationship while Interest  rate (IR) and Export( X )indicated a negative and insignificant relationship with the stock prices. The findings of Granger Causality revealed that only exports showed a unidirectional causal relationship.

The growth of companies in the plantation sector, it can be assumed that the plantation sector in Indonesia is still classified as a potential. so that it can be a benchmark for many investors in investing in the plantation sector. One of the indicators in investing can be seen from the financial performance, the company's stock price and the exchange rate. The study found that there were differences between financial performance, stock prices and the exchange rate of plantation sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2015-2018. This research was conducted as a measure of investors to invest in companies. This research method uses a quantitative approach because to find out and analyze differences in financial performance, stock prices and macroeconomic variables in plantation companies with a different approach and test the correctness of existing theories. While the hypothesis test used is the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method. The results showed there was no difference between the stock price and the exchange rate (KURS) of the company. Whereas the financial performance variable (ROA) points to a significant difference between the financial performance of one plantation company from another during the priod 2015-2018.

This study aims at measuring the impact of some macroeconomic variables on stock prices index in the Iraqi Stock Exchange (ISX) for the monthly data from January 2006 to December 2015 based on (121) observations using the ARDL model. Results indicated that the stock price index of Iraq Stock Exchange (ISX) and macroeconomic variables are co-integrated and a long-run relationship exists between them. The long-run coefficients suggested that the consumer price index (CPI) and money supply (M2) had a negative effect while the Interest-Rate-Current Account (Over Draft) (DR) had a positive effect on the stock prices index. However, the variable exchange rate (EX) did not show significant effect on the stock prices index

The study examines and compares the relationships between Indian stock market indices (BSE Small, Mid and Large Cap) and five macroeconomic variables (Index of Industrial Production, Wholesale Price Index, Money Supply M3, Exchange Rate and Call Money Rate) over the period April 2006 to March 2017. The study applies Augmented-Dickey Fuller test to test the data stationarity. The analysis reveals that data is neither found to be stationary at level nor co-integrated. Hence, the study applies unrestricted Vector Autoregression (VAR) model to establish the short-run relationships. It is observed that macroeconomic variables significantly impact stock prices depending upon the type of index. As per the Granger Causality test, the study found unidirectional relationship from Exchange Rate to BSE Small Cap; unidirectional relationship from Exchange Rate to BSE Mid Cap and BSE Mid Cap towards IIP; bidirectional relationship between BSE Large Cap and Exchange Rate whereas unidirectional relationship from BSE Large Cap to IIP and from Money Supply M3 towards BSE Large Cap.
