This paper examines the contemporaneous relation between trading volume and stock returns volatility for Nepalese stock market using monthly data for the period 2005 mid-July to 2017 mid-April. The study uses ordinary least square method and analyzes whether rising price leads to higher volume or vice versa. The study also investigates the association between trading volume and stock returns volatility based on monthly data of NEPSE index and examines the effects of trading volume on stock returns volatility using GARCH (1, 1) model. The study finds positive contemporaneous relationship between trading volume and stock return volatility. The study result indicates that the relationship between trading volume and return volatility is asymmetric. The findings strongly support the hypothesis that higher trading volume is associated with an increase in stock return volatility, but offers little support to the sequential arrival hypothesis and the mixture of distribution hypothesis. Finally, the findings support the weak-form efficient market hypothesis in Nepalese stock market.

Stock return volatility is a very interesting phenomenon because of its impact on global financial markets. For instance, an adverse shocks in one country’s market can be transmitted to other countries’ market through a particular mechanism of transmission, causing the related markets to experience financial instability as well (Liu et al., 1998). This paper aims to determine the best model to describe the volatility of stock returns, to identify asymmetric effect of such volatility, as well as to explore the transmission of stocks return volatilities in seven countries to Indonesia’s stock market over the period 1990-2016, on a daily basis. Modeling of stock return volatility uses symmetric and asymmetric GARCH, while analysis of stock return volatility transmission utilizes Vector Autoregressive system. This study found that the asymmetric model of GARCH, resulted from fitting the right model for all seven stock markets, provides a better estimation in portraying stock return volatility than symmetric model. Moreover, the model can reveal the presence of asymmetric effects on those seven stock markets. Other finding shows that Hong Kong and Singapore markets play dominant roles in influencing volatility return of Indonesia’s stock market. In addition, the degree of interdependence between Indonesia’s and foreign stock market increased substantially after the 2007 global financial crisis, as indicated by a drastic increase of the impact of stock return volatilities in the US and UK market on the volatility of Indonesia’s stock return.

Our results indicate that the trading volume significantly contributes to the volatility of stock returns. Additionally, strong leverage effects exist with negative shocks having a larger impact on volatility than positive shocks. The likelihood ratio tests and goodness of fit support the use of stable Paretian GARCH and TGARCH models over Gaussian models.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span>

PurposeIn any stock market, volatility is a significant factor in strengthening their asset pricing. The upsurge in volatility in the stock market can activate and bring changes in the financial risk. According to financial conventional theory, the stakeholders (investors) are selected to be balanced and variations in pertinent risk are also to be anticipated due to the outcome of the drive-in basic factors in Indian stock markets. The hypothesis shows that there are actions in systematic and unsystematic risks that are determined by volatility. It is allied to sentiment-driven in the trader movement.Design/methodology/approachThe paper used the methodology of generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity-in mean GARCH-M and exponential GARCH-M (E-GARCH-M) methods on the Indian stock market. The data have been covered from 2000 to 2019.FindingsFinally, the study suggests that due to the unfitness of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), the selection has enhanced with sentiment is an important risk factor.Practical implicationsThe investor sentiment and stock return volatility statement are established by using the investor sentiment amalgamated stock market index built.Originality/valueThe outcome of the study shows that there is an important association between stakeholder (investor) sentiment and stock return, in case of volatility behavioural finance can significantly explain the behaviour of stock returns on the Indian Stock Exchange.
