The main purpose of this study is to observe the effects of the crude oil price shocks on Indonesia stock market performance to complete the literature on Indonesia stock market behavior. We examined the effects of the crude oil price shocks on Indonesia stock market performance through the cointegration relationship mechanism between IHSG and the crude oil price and between IHSG and the global stock market indices. The Brent crude oil price data taken from FRED economic data, the Federal Reserve Bank of St.Lois, and the stock market indices data taken from yahoo.finance.com. By using a vector error correction model (VECM) approach, we found that IHSG has significant long-run relationships with the crude oil price and the global stock market indices. This finding indicates that the effects of the crude oil price shocks on IHSG transmitted directly through the cointegration mechanism between IHSG and the crude oil price, and indirectly through the cointegration mechanism between IHSG and the global stock market indices.

The study empirically examines the effect of oil price shocks and food importation on economic growth in Nigeria along with two control variables i.e. exchange rate and inflation using Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) Model covering the period of 1970 to 2015. The result from SVAR short-run pattern and long-run pattern indicate that GDP has recently been affected by all variables in the model. More also, it indicates a significant permanent effect of crude oil price shocks and food imports on economic growth, while the result further indicates a transitory effect of exchange rate and inflation on economic growth. For significant t-value of the long run SVAR estimate matrix, confirms long effect of crude oil price shocks, food imports, exchange rate and inflation on economic growth in Nigeria. The results from structural response indicate that crude oil have high positive impact on GDP at the initial period and negative impact at the end of the period. Furthermore, food imports have high negative effect on GDP, while GDP response negatively to exchange rate and inflation rate from the period. The result from the structural decompositions indicates that crude oil price and food imports and exchange rate contribute more variability to GDP, while inflation contribute less variability in explaining the variation of GDP in Nigeria. The study recommends that government should come up with a policy that will focus on alternative sources of government revenue by investing more in real sectors especially agriculture in order to withstand vicissitudes of oil shocks in future.

The study examined empirically the linear relationship between crude oil price shock and the Nigerian stock market performance, with the main objective of ascertaining the impact of the recent sharp decline in crude oil prices on stock market performance in the face of the global socio-economic challenge posed by COVID-19 pandemic. It used monthly time series data from the central bank of Nigeria (CBN) website (www.cbn.gov.ng) from 2017-2020 This period was chosen to capture the effects of changes in oil price on the performance of the Nigerian stock market within the context of the global economic challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The auto-regressive distributed lag ARDL approach has been applied in the model specification and data analysis for the study. The results of the ARDL in both the short and long run revealed that the recent crude oil price shock has a significant impact on stock market performance in Nigeria. The results of the granger causality test also reveal a unidirectional causality from crude oil price to stock market performance with a piece of evidence from the current decline of global crude oil prices from December 2019 to April 2020. The study, therefore, suggests the need for the Nigerian capital market to continue to pursue with vigor the implementation of the capital market master plan in the hope that a more developed capital market should be able to absorb external shocks such as those arising from crude oil price fluctuations.
