Download or read book Semi Strong Form Efficiency of Indian Stock Market in Post Reform Period written by Dr Madhuchhanda Lahiri and published by Walnut Publication. This book was released on 2021-06-26 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Efficient Market Hypothesis is an elegant edifice that provides a basis on which the efficiency tests of a stock market are performed at three distinct levels: weak - form, semi-strong form and strong - form. This magnificent edifice of EMH rests on the Random Walk Theory which contends that all price changes reflect a random departure from previous prices. The weak form of the hypothesis states that prices efficiently reflect all information contained in the past series of stock prices whereas the semi-strong form efficiency contends that security prices factor in publicly available information in the market and that the price changes to new equilibrium levels are reflections of that information. The book checks the weak-form and semi-strong form efficiency of the Indian stock market by examining the behaviour of the stock prices in the Indian stock market after the introduction of the various financial sector reforms using different methodologies. By using NSE data over the period 1998-2005 - the period which witnessed some major crises, scams, intense capital market activities and introduction of many new financial instruments - the study examines the information contents of historical stock price data, quarterly earnings announcements, and stock splits. The book also checks for the presence of the Day-of- the- Week Effect in the Indian stock market and enquires whether the introduction of the various instruments and policy changes have made the Indian stock market weak-form and semi-strong form efficient i.e., whether the efficiency of the stock market has been restored in the post-reforms period compared to the situation in the pre-reform period.

Download or read book Expected Rates of Equity Returns written by Shveta Singh and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This purpose of this paper is to present the expected equity returns for the Indian stock market for the benefit of investors, who may then compare such returns with actual market returns to evaluate whether the Indian stock market provides returns in excess of expectations. Both the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) which is based on systematic risk and the risk premium approach which is based on unsystematic risk, have been used to compute expected returns. The CAPM appears to be an appropriate model to calculate expected returns emanating from the Indian stock market. The average expected returns are 13.47 per cent and the average market index returns are 16.46 per cent, indicative of the market being able to perform better than the expected returns by the technical investors.The average cost of equity (ke) for the sample companies based on the risk premium approach is also around 14 per cent (13.75 per cent). The Indian equity market continues to be an attractive investment destination for both fundamental (long-term) and technical (short-term traders) investors. However, in the presence of volatility in the short-run which increases the risk, it would perhaps be prudent to invest in the long-run. As is evident from the literature reviewed, this is perhaps the first time expected Indian stock market returns are presented and computed through both the CAPM and the risk premium approach.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this research is to forecast the following day's closing price for a specific share of a company in the stock market using the "Hidden Markov Model". In this paper, the "Hidden Markov Model" is used to predict some of the stocks of interconnected airline markets. The researchers have developed the "Hidden Markov Model" for forecasting time series. As a result of its ability to model dynamic systems, this model is widely used for the recognition of model and problem classifications. In this article, the researchers examined trends in the historical data set. They inserted the appropriate neighboring prices to the datasets and predicted the next day's exchange. Data collection was secondary. The secondary market was collected from Southwest Airlines for 1.5 years (approximately) from September 17, 2002, to December 16, 2004. The observations of the input data are continuous rather than discrete. The sample size is 4 airline firms (British Airlines, Delta Airlines, Southwest Airlines, and Ryanair Holdings Ltd.) The NIFTY IT index captures the performance of the Indian Information Technology (IT) companies. The NIFTY IT index consists of 10 companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). The IT sector in India has been recording tremendous growth over the years, where it accounts for a growth rate of 7.5 percent per annum. Time series analysis is a statistical tool that can be used in forecasting the prices of financial assets. In the current study, the NIFTY IT index was forecasted from past data collected over a 10 year period spanning from 2011 to 2020. An ARIMA model is fit and used to forecast the NIFTY IT index. Forecasted values were different from actual prices, suggesting that more influencing independent variables must be include, to improve the model accuracy.

Download or read book Indian Stock Returns and Macroeconomics written by Shivi Suhag and published by . This book was released on 2023-07-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian stock returns refer to the performance or profitability of the Indian stock market over a certain period. It is a measure of the gains or losses an investor realizes from investing in Indian stocks. Stock returns can be calculated by comparing the current price of a stock with its purchase price, including any dividends received during the holding period.Macroeconomics, on the other hand, is a branch of economics that deals with the overall performance and behavior of the economy as a whole. It focuses on studying aggregates such as GDP (Gross Domestic Product), inflation, unemployment, interest rates, and other macroeconomic indicators to understand the functioning of the economy and make policy recommendations.The relationship between stock returns and macroeconomics is complex and intertwined. Macroeconomic factors play a significant role in influencing stock market performance. Here are some key macroeconomic variables that impact Indian stock returns: 1. GDP Growth: High GDP growth is generally associated with increased corporate profits and positive investor sentiment, leading to higher stock returns. Conversely, low or negative GDP growth can dampen investor confidence and result in lower stock returns.2. Inflation: Inflation refers to the general increase in prices of goods and services over time. Moderate inflation can be conducive to stock market performance as it indicates a growing economy. However, high inflation can erode purchasing power and negatively impact corporate profitability, leading to lower stock returns.3. Interest Rates: Changes in interest rates have a direct impact on the cost of borrowing and the attractiveness of different investment options. Lower interest rates generally favor stock market investments as they make equities more attractive relative to fixed-income securities. Conversely, higher interest rates may reduce stock market returns as investors shift towards safer fixed-income investments.4. Monetary Policy: The policies implemented by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), such as adjustments to the repo rate or cash reserve ratio, can influence liquidity and credit conditions in the economy. Accommodative monetary policy measures can stimulate economic growth and boost stock returns, while tight monetary policy can have the opposite effect.5. Fiscal Policy: Government spending, taxation, and fiscal deficit also impact the stock market. Expansionary fiscal policies, such as increased government spending, can stimulate economic activity and have a positive effect on stock returns. Conversely, contractionary fiscal policies may dampen investor sentiment and lead to lower stock returns.It's important to note that stock market returns are also influenced by company-specific factors, market sentiment, investor behavior, and other variables apart from macroeconomic factors. Therefore, analyzing Indian stock returns requires considering a wide range of factors, including both macroeconomic indicators and specific market dynamics.

Book excerpt: As long as financial markets are concerned, for many years' economists, statisticians and financial analyst have been interested in developing and testing models of stock price behaviour and their forecast. This study examines whether the Indian stock market is efficient if the stock returns follow a random walk. The study employs daily closing prices of NSE Midcap 50 Index for a time period of 15 Sept 2010 - 28 Nov 2014. The existence of random walk for NSE Midcap Index has been examined through autocorrelation, Q-statistics and the run test and finds that the Indian stock market was not efficient in the weak form during the testing period. The results suggest that the stock prices in India do not reflect all the information in the past stock prices and abnormal returns can be achieved by investors through exploiting the market inefficiency.
