Stock Exchange of Singapore’s Stock Market Indices

The relationship between macroeconomic variables and stock market returns
is now well documented in the literature. However, a gap in the literature
refers to examine the cointegration between macroeconomic variables and
stock market indices in the sector rather than the composite index. So in this
paper examines the long-term relationship between the equilibrium selected
macroeconomic variables and the stock index market in Singapore (STI), and
as with the various indices of Singapore Exchange-finance sector index,
property index and the index of hotels. The study concludes that the Singapore
stock market index and the relationship with the property as cointegration
changes in interest rates in the short and long term, industrial production,
the level of prices, exchange rates and money supply. Implications of the study and
suggestions for future research are provided. Read more details PDF file
