Interconnected Stock Markets: Analysing Cointegration and Correlation among Global Stock Indices
Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
This study examines the long-term and short-term relationships among five major global stock indices—NSE NIFTY (India), S&P 500 (USA), FTSE 100 (UK), Hang Seng (Hong Kong), and Nikkei 225 (Japan)—over the period from 2008 to 2023. Using advanced econometric techniques such as Johansen cointegration tests, Engle-Granger residual cointegration test and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), the research explores the degree of interconnectedness and cointegration among these indices. The results indicate strong positive correlations between NSE NIFTY, S&P 500, and Nikkei 225, suggesting a growing synchronization of these markets due to global economic integration. Johansen's test reveals the presence of multiple long-term equilibrium relationships, affirming that despite short-term deviations, these markets tend to move together in response to global macroeconomic factors. The analysis further highlights that the S&P 500 and FTSE 100 indices exhibit significant error correction mechanisms, underscoring their leadership role in global market dynamics. In contrast, NSE NIFTY shows a weaker adjustment toward long-term equilibrium, indicating its reactive nature to changes in other global indices, particularly the S&P 500. The study finds that while Hang Seng and Nikkei 225 are connected globally, their short-term linkages appear weaker, likely influenced by regional factors. Overall, the results emphasize the critical influence of the U.S. and Japanese markets on NSE NIFTY, with both long-term cointegration and short-term market dynamics shaping the Indian stock market’s movements. This research offers key insights for investors seeking to understand global stock market interdependencies and manage portfolio risk.
