Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book Calendar Anomalies in BSE Sensex Index Returns in Post Rolling Settlement Period written by Dr. P. Nageswari Sathish and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calendar Anomalies in the stock market are those patterns that cannot be explained by traditional asset pricing models. Examples of such patterns include the January Effect, the Day-of-the-Week Effect, and the Week of the Month Effects. These anomalies allow investors to develop trading strategies to earn abnormal profits. Recent liberalization policies have led to significant capital flows from investors into India seeking to capitalize on promising and profitable business opportunities. The results of this study will be useful to such investors, traders, and arbitrageurs who can formulate profitable trading strategies to capitalize on calendar anomalies. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) introduced the Compulsory Rolling Settlement System for stocks on January 02, 2002. This was expected to boost liquidity and thereby reduce the market risk of stocks to a considerable extent. The introduction of Rolling Settlement was also expected to lead to higher equity turnover and thereby potentially impact the anomalous behavior of stock prices. In this context, the study provides further evidence on the anomalous behavior of stocks in the Indian Stock Market during the Post Rolling Settlement Period from April 2002 to March 2010. The post rolling settlement testing period distinguishes this study from other contemporaneous studies on anomalous behavior of stocks in the Indian stock market that have overlapped both the pre and post rolling settlement period (7 & 16) and thereby provides a more robust basis for drawing conclusions.

This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 8, , language: English, abstract: Stock price changes generally fluctuate stochastically. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the stochastic fluctuations in the stock price changes are random or have some kind of dynamics in the context of Indian stock market using a recently developed method, a small shuffle surrogate method, on daily data of six indices of National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (S&P CNX Nifty, CNX 100, S&P CNX 500, CNX Nifty Junior, CNX Midcap, CNX Smallcap). The study of dynamics in irregular fluctuations of asset price changes has implications related to risk management, asset allocation and trading strategies. A small shuffle surrogate method does not depend on any specific data distribution. Our findings support the presence of dynamics in the stock price changes of S&P CNX 500, CNX Nifty Junior, CNX Midcap and CNX Smallcap. On the other hand, price changes in S&P CNX Nifty and CNX 100 exhibit random behaviour. To test the robustness of the results, we also compute the variance ratio of the stock price changes over different asset holding periods. The result from the variance ratio test also supports the findings of small-shuffle surrogate analysis for all indices.

Download or read book Indian Stock Market written by Gourishankar S. Hiremath and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is one of the major emerging economies of the world and has witnessed tremendous economic growth over the last decades. The reforms in the financial sector were introduced to infuse energy and vibrancy into the process of economic growth. The Indian stock market now has the largest number of listed companies in the world. The phenomenal growth of the Indian equity market and its growing importance in the economy is indicated by the extent of market capitalization and the increasing integration of the Indian economy with the global economy. Various schools of thought explain the behaviour of stock returns. The Efficient Market Theory is the most important theory of the School of Neoclassical Finance based on rational expectation and no-trade argument. The book investigates the growth and efficiency of the Indian stock market in the theoretical framework of the Efficiency Market Hypothesis (EMH). The main objective of the present study is to examine the returns behaviour in the Indian equity market in the changed market environment. A detailed and rigorous analysis, made with the help of the sophisticated time series econometric models, is one of the key elements of this volume. The analysis empirically tests the random walk hypothesis and focuses on issues like nonlinear dynamics, structural breaks and long memory. It uses new and disaggregated data on recent reforms and changes in the market microstructure. The data on various indices including sectoral indices help in measuring the relative efficiency of the market and understanding how liquidity and market capitalization affect the efficiency of the market.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Judging the importance of existence of calendar anomalies in the stock market to the investors, the paper attempts to find out monthly anomalies in the market. The presence of seasonal effects in monthly returns in the Indian market has been reported by many researchers in the past. This study attempts to examine whether the month-of-the-year anomaly still exists in the Indian Stock Market. For this purpose, two indices, S&P CNX Nifty and S&P CNX Nifty Junior and top nine companies (according to market capitalisation) from both the indices have been selected. The daily closing prices of the respective indices and stocks have been taken and the logarithm return of these prices has been calculated. Line charts and unit-root test are applied to check the stationary nature of the series. The Dummy Variable Regression Model has been applied on the returns to find out any statistically significant deterrent month in the year. The paper observes that both the indices and some of the selected companies reflect the month-of-the-year anomalies in the Indian Stock Market. Mainly, the monthly anomaly is found at the end of a quarter for the given period.

Download or read book Momentum and Overreaction Effect a Study of Indian Stock Market written by Maheshwari Supriya and published by Independent Author. This book was released on 2022-12-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The search and investigation of stock market anomalies have always been a popular area of research among the academicians. The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) that was once very well accepted and adored the most dominant place in the traditional finance theories, somehow, in recent times, the validity of the same has been questioned. The evidence of various stock market anomalies that document excess profit making opportunities resulted in critical re-examination of EMH. Probably the two most famous anomalies that have attracted the interest of both academicians and practitioners are the ones that are based on stocks return continuation (known as momentum effect) and long-term stock returns reversal (known as overreaction effect). Ever since DeBondt and Thaler (1985) and Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) drew attention towards the overreaction and momentum effect, these have remained as some of the most hotly debated anomalies in the academic literature. The investment strategies based on such continuation and long-term return reversal effects are commonly known as momentum and contrarian strategies, respectively. Both momentum and long-term reversal effect were found to persist in a majority of the out-of-sample tests using data from the U.S. as well as other developed stock markets across different time periods. Initially, most of the early investigations were based on the U.S. stock market, but gradually the investigation for the same spread out internationally to other developed stock markets. As a result, there exists a vast majority of literature supporting momentum and contrarian profitability in majority of the developed markets.
