Macroeconomic Policies Interaction & the Symmetry of Financial Markets’ Responses

Abstract: This concise study analyses the symmetry of financial markets’ responses to macroeconomic policy interaction in the United Kingdom. Employing the Vector Auto-regression (VAR) model on monthly data of the British financial sector and macroeconomic policies from January 1985 to August 2008, this study found that the equity and sovereign debt markets showed identical symmetry in response to macroeconomic policy interaction.

“…The monthly average of the real yield on the 10 years government bond was chosen which is inverse of bond's price; it was due to the fact that real yield is very important for the economic agents participating in the bonds markets (Campbell 1995). Nevertheless, the real yield on the sovereign bonds is also important as it represents its borrowing cost for the government; it also reflects the confidence of markets participants and investors in bonds and importantly returns on investment (Nasir et al 2016). The data on the bond yield is not logged because it is a percentage and also negative real yield cannot be logged.…”

“…The intricacies of volatility spillovers between interest rates and stock returns have largely been unexplored because researchers have favoured studying the impact of government policy uncertainty on various macroeconomic variables including stock returns (Chuliá et al, 2017), or primarily studying the impact of monetary policy on stock returns, rather than its volatility (Nasir, et al, 2016). However, Pástor and Veronesi (2012) develop a simple asset pricing model which reveals that policy uncertainty may trigger a rise in the volatility of the stochastic discount factor.…”
