Testing the Contemporaneous and Causal Relationship between Trading Volume and Return in the Palestine Exchange

Abstract: This study examines the causal relationship between return and trading volume in the Palestine Exchange. Using weekly trading volume and returns over the period from October 2000 to August 2010, the study employs GARCH (1,1) model to test the existence of the positive contemporaneous relationship. The study found that the relationship preserves after taking heteroskedasticity into account. Moreover, the results of Granger causality test show that there is bidirectional Granger causality between returns and tra… Show more

“…This implied that daily new information in the market may have a significant impact on price volatility, which indicates that the bad news generates more impact on volatility of the stock return and trading volume. Darwish (2012) studied the causal relationship between return and trading volume in the Palestine Stock Exchange. The author has used weekly trading volume and returns over the period from October 2000 to August 2010 and employed GARCH (1,1) model to test the existence of the positive contemporaneous relationship.…”

“…Besides this, their study witnessed the important role of trading volume for the prediction of the volatility dynamics of the KSM. Darwish (2012) evidenced bi-directional causality in the Palestine Exchange and also confirmed the existence of the positive contemporaneous relationship between return and trading volume. His study also advised market participants and regulators to use historical data of trading volume for observing the stock price movement in the market.…”
