This book was released on 1998 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between the returns to a stock, and ratio of book equity to market equity of the firm, are tested for the Australian stock market, and statistically significant evidence is found in support if the :book to market effect". Several tests are performed to determine whether this return premium is the result of additional risk or market inefficiency. No evidence is found to suggest that high book-to-market stocks are associated with additional risk, and only weak evidence is found to suggest that return premium is a result of investor over-reaction. An alternative explanation IS offered, relying on the dynamic behavior of firms and the process by which investors value the stocks of these firms.

Download or read book Anomalies and Stock Returns written by Philip Gharghori and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior research has identified the existence of several cross-sectional patterns in equity returns, commonly referred to as effects. This paper empirically tests for the existence of a number of well known effects using data from the Australian equities market. Specifically, we investigate the size effect, book-to-market effect, earnings to price effect, cash flow to price effect, leverage effect and the liquidity effect. Fama and French (1996) note that patterns in average returns that cannot be explained by the traditional Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) are considered anomalies. An additional aim of this paper is to investigate the capability of the CAPM and the Fama and French (1993) multifactor model (FFM) in explaining any observed anomalies. We document a size, book to market, earnings to price and cash flow to price effect but fail to find evidence of a leverage or liquidity effect. Although our results indicate that the FFM is superior to the CAPM in explaining cross-sectional variation in equity returns, we conclude that its performance is less than satisfactory in Australia.

Download or read book The Impact of Monetary Policy on the Australian Equity Market written by Bronwyn McCredie and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Australia, unlike US and European jurisdictions, the Reserve Bank of Australia discloses its stance on monetary policy via two separate events: the announcement of a monthly target cash rate for overnight loans; and two weeks later, the release of the explanatory minutes of the Board meeting that decided the rate outcome. This study takes advantage of this practice in order to examine the impact of monetary policy announcements and explanatory statements on the Australian equity market. We find that both monetary policy announcements and explanatory minute releases have a significant and comparable impact on the returns and volatility of the Australian equity market. Further, the impact of monetary policy announcements is demonstrated to be influenced by the state of the economy. Specifically, returns intensify during the Global Financial Crisis and are affected by negative sentiment.
Download or read book The Month of the Year Effect in the Australian Stock Market written by George J. Marrett and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This letter examines the month-of-the-year effect in Australian daily stock returns at the market and industry levels and for small capitalisation stocks from Monday 9 September 1996 to Friday 10 November 2006. A regression-based approach is employed. The results indicate that marketwide returns are significantly higher in April, July and December combined with evidence of a small cap effect with systematically higher returns in January, August and December. The analysis of the sub-market returns is also partially supportive of disparate month-of-the-year effects in the diversified financials, energy, retail, telecoms and transport industries. However, only in the case of small cap firms and the telecoms industry do these coincide with the higher returns associated with the January effect as typified in work elsewhere.

This book was released on 2022-07-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investors and researchers have been paying more attention to the emerging stock markets performance. Analysing stock market behaviour and stock market efficiency is important for investors because it allows the investors to understand the stock market behaviour better and consequently make more sensible choices. The investors can make above average profits through investments in different markets by taking advantage of any abnormalities when they occur. In the context of globalization and increasing opportunities to the investors to invest abroad, it is essential for the international portfolio investors from India to understand the level of interdependence among the major stock markets in the world and its impact on the Indian stock market.Efficiency in the domestic stock market has important implications for issuers of equity and portfolio investors. Furthermore, an efficient stock market can attract foreign portfolio investment, support domestic savings and improve the mobility of capital and financial resources. Market efficiency has an important bearing on fund managers and investment bankers and more specifically the investors who are seeking to diversify their portfolio internationally. With increased movement of investment across international boundaries due to the integration of world economies, understanding of global stock market efficiency is also gaining greater becoming more important.It is difficult for the foreign institutional investors to identify profitable markets during negative global cues. Framing an investment policy is difficult by considering native market behaviour alone. Stock market operations are dynamic in nature. newline.

Download or read book Stock Market Reactions to Monetary Policy Shocks written by Jun Peng Zeng and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is important for both the monetary policy makers and investors to understand the impact of monetary policy shocks to real asset prices. This paper used the event-study method to test the intraday effects of monetary policy shocks on Australian stock market return in different dimension. The results show that a 25-basis-point rate cut target surprise is associated with 0.62% to 0.7% increase to the whole Australian stock market index. The results of industry indexes show that the industry indexes react differently to monetary policy shocks and path surprise is never significant in all event windows. This paper also tested the speed of stock market reacting to monetary policy shocks. The results suggest that all stock market indexes stop reacting to monetary policy shock after 90 to 120 minutes the monetary policy decision is announced. Lastly, the study of individual stocks shows that the size and market to book ratio factors do not affect magnitude of individual stock reaction to monetary policy shock.
