Abstract:

Stock market is influenced by macro-economic variable factors. There are lot of empirical studies on the macro-economic variable factors, and how do they impact on the stock market of any economy. These cross-impacts create ripples in stock market, and thereby investor confidence levels are being tested, every now and then. A healthy and flourishing stock market has been considered relevant for national economic growth by channelizing capital toward investors and entrepreneurs. An economy is said to be efficient if it has a good banking and good stock market exhibiting upward trend. Earlier a country was considered strong and efficient if it exhibited a sustained growth of GDP (gross domestic product) and per capita income.
