The Impact of Macroeconomic Indicators on Stock Returns Fluctuations

The present article explains the effect of some macroeconomic indicators on stock return fluctuations .Artificial exchange rate pricing in the years before the crisis and preventing it from adjusting to the economic conditions is one of the main reasons for the recent currency crisis. Also, the calculation of the foreign exchange market pressure index indicates that the highest numbers obtained for this index are related to the time when the gap between the free exchange rate and the official exchange rate has increased. The results also showed that the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on stock return fluctuations is positive and significant, which indicates that there is a high correlation between stock returns and the exchange rate market. Also, the positive sign of the coefficient indicates a positive and significant effect of interest rates on the variability of stock returns. This result shows that higher interest rates have led to more fluctuations in stock returns. Finally, GDP per capita was not significant in any of the error levels of 1, 5 and 10%, which indicates that it did not have a significant effect on stock fluctuations.
