Financial market and the macroeconomic variables

Abstract

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o efeito das variáveis macroeconómicas no índice de preço do mercado das ações da Alemanha e Portugal, empregando o modelo de regressão OLS e variáveis trimestrais de 2000(T1) a 2011(T4). O grupo das variáveis macroeconómicas é composta pelo PIB, índice de preço do consumidor, taxa de juro interna a longo prazo, taxa de câmbio, e pela percentagem do défice do governo, receita fiscal, capacidade líquida de financiamento da economia e da formação bruta do capital fixo, em relação ao PIB. Para além das variáveis previamente mencionadas, também consideramos como variáveis explicativas o índice da Dow Jones Industrial Average e a taxa de juro dos Estados Unidos de América a longo prazo. Considerando as variáveis exógenas do modelo, deparamos que ambos os mercados das ações considerados neste estudo são afetados positivamente pelo índice de Dow Jones e pela taxa de juro dos Estados Unidos a longo prazo, e negativamente afetados pela depreciação da taxa de câmbio. O retorno do mercado Alemã é positivamente afetado pelo aumento da taxa de juro interna. Em relação ao retorno do mercado Português, este é afetado positivamente pela taxa de crescimento do PIB e negativamente afetado pelo crescimento do índice de preço do consumidor. No que concerne às implicações nas políticas adotadas pelas autoridades, no intuito de promover um mercado robusto, as autoridades devem gerir a taxa de juro, assegurar o crescimento económico, a apreciação da taxa de câmbio, uma baixa taxa de inflação e acompanhar o comportamento dos fatores externos.

This study aims to examine the effect of the macroeconomic variables on the stock market price index from Germany and Portugal, using the OLS regression model and quarterly data from 2000(Q1) to 2011(Q4). The group of the macroeconomic variables used in this study is composed by GDP, consumer price index, long term domestic interest rate, exchange rate, and by the ratio of government deficit, tax revenue, net lending or borrowing of an economy and gross fixed capital formation, to GDP. In addition to the macroeconomic variables presented, we also consider the Dow Jones Industrial Average price index and the US long term interest rate. Considering all the explanatory variables on the regression model, we found that both stock markets analyzed are positively influenced by Dow Jones return and US long term interest rate change, and negatively affected by the depreciation of the exchange rate. Germany stock return is positively affected by the domestic long run interest rate change. In regards to the Portugal stock return, it is positively influenced by the GDP growth rate and negatively affected by the growth rate of the consumer price index. Concerning the policy implication, to promote a robust stock market, the authorities are expected to manage the domestic interest rate, pursue or sustain the economic growth, the currency appreciation, a low inflation rate and monitor the external factor.
