R.P Prakash. “An Analysis of Macroeconomic Variables Impacting the Indian Stock Market at NSE Nifty 50”. Indian Journal of Research in Capital Markets- ISSN 2394-3459 (January-June 2021): 72-78. Print.

The study was conducted to understanding the long-term impact of the macroeconomic factors and Nifty 50 index of National Stock Exchange (NSE). For the study the author identified five major macroeconomics variables namely foreign exchange reserve, price of crude oil, Foreign Institutional Investments, Balance of Payment and gold price. The monthly data was collected of the above-mentioned variables from Nifty 50 index ranged from period of January 2016 to December 2020, that is for the period of 5 years. To interpret the association between five variables, the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test was used, as well as multiple regression to determine the extent of independent components influence on dependent variables. In this study he used five key words such as macroeconomy, stock market, NSE Nifty 50, descriptive statistics, correlation, regression techniques.

In introduction part the author explained the role and importance of stock market in financial system of country. And the market indices are identified and assessed for analyzing the changes concerning the external factors both domestic and globally. India is mainly depending on importing crude oil, acquiring technology, obtaining foreign investment etc. Considering the previous facts, the study aims to evaluate two main objectives: to explain the various factors affecting the Indian economy and to assess the influence of changes in global factors on a selected index, the NSE Nifty 50. For the study the author established hypothesis to test and examine the relationship in between the identified macroeconomics factors. By analyzing these factors using the ADF, correlation and multiple regression the author reaches at conclusion that only crude oil is significant and other factors are stationary in nature. Since this research revealed a weak form of the efficient market theory, Nifty 50 investors will not be able to achieve abnormal profits during this same time frame.
