Abstract

This study is considered the interplay among stock prices and exchange rates movement in perspective of Pakistan. Interrelation of both sides of these two financial variables are discovered. Monthly time series data from July 1992 to June 2018 of USD/PKR and the index values of PSE (KSE 100 index) are used in this study. To check out the stationarity of variables augmented dicky-fuller unit root test is applied and Johansson’s cointegration technique in vector autoregressive model is used and granger causality test used to consider the movements of stock prices and exchange rates and flow of these variables onto each other. Results of these analysis confess that there is no cointegration in stock prices and exchange rates and the stock prices do not granger cause to exchange rates and exchange rates do not granger cause to stock prices. These two financial variables do not impact on the performance of each other and not have ability to change the direction of each other because of the developing economy of Pakistan. These findings are valuable for econometrics, policy makers and stakeholders.
