Master Thesis The impact of foreign exchange rates on stock markets(2016) Bikhtiyar Alalaw, Omran AbbasThis research thesis is designed to investigate the impact of exchange rates on stock markets through focusing on Turkey with an additional aim of searching for the causal relationship in-between these two markets. For that purpose, first Augmented Dickey–Fuller Test is used to check for the stationary of data and then regression analysis is applied to examine the impact of exchange rates on Borsa Istanbul while Granger Causality Test is employed to search for the causal relationship in-between these two markets by employing US Dollar and Euro as the foreign exchange rate variables along with the indices of Borsa Istanbul, specifically, the National 100 Index (XU100), the Services Index (XUHIZ), the Financial Index (XUMAL) and the Industrials Index (XUSIN). In the analyses, daily data is utilized for the period between April 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015. The findings indicate that US Dollar and Euro have a significant negative impact on stock indices. However, the impact of US Dollar is found to be more significant. Besides, the results of the Granger Causality Tests show that there is a two way relationship between US Dollar and XUMAL as well as US Dollar and XU100, while no causal relationship could be found between either Euro and XUMAL or Euro and XU100 which can be interpreted as: Euro has an instant effect, but does not have a predictor power on XU-Indices.
