CHAPTER 1
Introduction

Financial markets and more specifically stock markets are considered as being sensitive to
changes occurring within the economy. Monetary policies are usually undertaken to revive or
maintain stability within an economy and such policies can either be expansive or restrictive
with Central banks using interest rates and funds as monetary policy instruments. Stock
valuation is completed by using the longer term cash flows related to the stocks and discounting
at the acceptable rate of interest, which is estimated by considering the overall level of interest
rates prevailing in an economy. During the expansive period, stock prices should normally be
higher, as long as the interest rates at which cash flows are discounted are going to be lower and
also there should be a lift in economic activity. A restrictive period means higher interest rates
and lower future economic activity, entailing lower stock prices. the number theory of cash
formalizes the link concerning funds and stock prices. When there's a rise within the funds,
there'll be a surplus within the quantity of cash and this may encourage people to demand more
shares and thus cause a rise in share prices. The liquidity hypothesis also suggests a positive
relationship between the variables. consistent with the policy anticipation hypothesis, to counter
the excess of capital in circulation, there would be a tightening of credit conditions, mainly
through an increase of interest rates and this is able to end in a fall available prices. The expected
inflation hypothesis also predicts an inverse relationship between the 2 variables. Background
of the Study within the current economy, most people are directly or indirectly involved within
the stock exchange. Each day, individual and institutional investors, like open-end fund
managers and insurance firm representatives, invest funds within the stock exchange. Thus, to
make a decision which stock to shop for or sell, investors got to be ready to estimate the expected
rate of return on various stocks and therefore the amount of risk inherent in each stock. On the
two other sides of the spectrum, business corporations that attempt to raise capital by offering
new securities to the market got to skills to make a decision on the worth of the new securities.
This scientific research was designed to review how the investors within the equity market
choose allocating their investment in various stocks—in other words, how they create choices
on what stocks to shop for or sell to get an optimum portfolio of stocks that maximizes their
return and minimizes their risk. Traditionally, the mandated goal of monetary policy has been
price stability and optimal output and employment within the economy. to realize this goal,
central banks can manipulate some monetary policy instruments, like by changing short-term
1
interest rates and therefore the volume of the cash supply. However, the effect of monetary
policy on the so-called real economy develops through the broad channel of monetary markets,
including the equity market. Monetary policy affects investors’ asset allocation deciding, and
subsequently, this effect is going to be transmitted into the important economy. Therefore,
knowledge of how monetary policy affects the financial market, and more specifically the equity
market, is important for understanding how monetary policy affects the broader economy.
Because stock prices are sensitive to economic conditions and their values are volatile, this
sensitivity can cause large swings available prices, cause bubbles, and damage the entire
economy Besides identifying monetary policy announcements as a crucial source of short-run
volatility within the stock exchange, this paper also addresses broader issues within the finance
literature. the prediction from a theory that it's only the surprise element of any piece of stories
that ought to affect asset prices. Indeed, perhaps the failure of the many papers within the finance
literature to detect a big relationship between market volatility and therefore the arrival of latest
information stems from the lack to appropriately distinguish what was truly new within the
information released from what had already been built into market prices. The paper is organized
as follows. subsequent section provides a quick description of the news arrival process for
monetary policy, i.e., of how monetary policy decisions are released to the general public over
the past decade. I also discuss the theoretical implications of recent changes within the news
arrival process for the way the markets react to policy announcements. The second channel
through which monetary policy decisions potentially affect market volatility relates to the
character of the choice itself. as an example, the announcement of the policy decision may reveal
new information not previously incorporated into asset prices and volatility may rise while
market participants process the newly received information I shall call this the “news” effect.
Note that while the pre-announcement effect is, by definition, independent of the policy decision
that's ultimately announced, the news effect is intimately tied thereto. especially, scrutiny of the
news effect should help determine whether monetary policy decisions constitute fundamental
news not previously built-in into stock exchange prices or whether or not they are viewed as a
reaction to information about the economy that was already within the property right. Given the
changes within the monetary policy news arrival process described during this section, and
supported the theoretical considerations just discussed, this paper formulates two working
hypotheses regarding the effect of the monetary policymaking process on the short-run volatility
of the stock exchange. To the extent that FOMC meeting days are viewed by market participants
as days of major economic news, they ought to leave an imprint on market volatility, and such
imprint should be particularly noticeable within the post-1993 sample when most policy

2
decisions were made and announced on FOMC meeting days. Also, to the extent that policy
decisions affect volatility, it's the element of surprise in such announcements that ought to matter
most. Accordingly, failure to differentiate between anticipated and unanticipated policy
decisions would tend to bias the news effect on volatility downwards. Below I describe a
modelling framework that permits for formal testing of those theoretical implications.

Interest Rate Changes

Decreases in interest rates tend to encourage economic process because the effective costs for
both capital investments and commodity falls. The IS-LM model, supported the work of John
Maynard Keynes, explains this relationship. National output is that the sum of consumption,
investment, and government spending. The equilibrium rate of interest is decided by the
intersection of two curves graphed against national output: the downward-sloping investment
and savings curve (the “IS” curve) and therefore the upward-sloping liquidity and money curve
(the “LM” curve). the previous represents the marketplace for goods and services and is
suffering from fiscal policies like changes in government expenditures and tax rates. It slopes
down because decreasing interest rates increase investment, which increases national output.
The latter represents the cash market and is suffering from monetary policy, especially the
availability of cash within the economy, as determined by Federal Reserve System policies. It
slopes up due to increased consumption, which results in increased national output, increases
the demand for cash, and increases the rate of interest people can pay for cash. The intersection
of those two curves represents the equilibrium rate of interest for a hard and fast level of state
spending, taxes, funds, and price index. Changing any of those will shift a minimum of one
among the curves and thus change the prevailing rate of interest. it's changed most frequently by
altering the cash supply. Below may be a graphical representation of this model.

The Federal Reserve System implemented several different policies to regulate interest rates,
mostly lowering them (easing them). Mushin argues that monetary policy easing may be a potent
tool to use during a crisis because it mitigates the consequences of adverse feedback loops.
Adverse feedback loops during this context are vicious cycles during which assets lose value,
which makes them less useful as collateral or investments, making their value fall even further.
Thus, easing monetary policy, which prevents large losses in asset value, should strongly impact
the economy.

Open market operations are one among the Fed’s most beloved tools, even during expansionary
times. Open market operations are traditionally wont to set the federal funds rate, the speed at
which depository institutions lend extra reserves to every other. By buying and selling federal
securities from these depository institutions, the Federal Reserve System changes their reserves
and thereby affects the speed at which they're going to lend to other institutions, the federal funds
rate, which determines many other interest rates. The Federal Reserve System, which is
additionally the “lender of last resort”, can also lower the discount rate, the speed at which the
Fed itself lends to depository institutions. Although this rate is about above the target federal
funds rate, lowering it eases liquidity crunches when banks cannot borrow funds from other
banks. albeit banks not got to exhaust other sources of funding before borrowing from the
Federal Reserve System, it's cheaper because the federal funds rate is usually less than discount
window rates.

Market Stability Actions

For our purposes, a market stabilization action is any kind of capital infusion from either the
Federal Reserve System or the Department of Treasury. The goal of those programs was to
stabilize financial markets. Under this category, we include three policy actions: bailouts,
liquidity programs, and guarantees. The Federal Reserve System extended loans to many
companies, including J.P. Morgan Chase and American International Group (AIG).
Furthermore, the Department of Treasury bought “troubled assets” from many financial
institutions during a program referred to as the Troubled Asset Relief Program. While experts
were initially sceptical about this program, it's been successful: additionally, to increasing credit
availability, it's even been profitable. The Treasury also invested in AIG, Chrysler, General
Motors, and mortgage servicers and implemented a number of credit programs that allowed
banks to borrow capital. The journalism highly publicized these market stabilization actions,
especially large-scale bailouts. Because these actions were a serious pillar of the us Government
decide to handle the financial crisis and involved large-scale purchases and sales of equities,
bailouts should affect the stock exchange, as they displayed the government’s commitment to
protecting America from financial destruction.

Swap Lines

To ease liquidity pressures in foreign markets, the Federal Reserve System also opened “swap
lines” or reciprocal currency arrangements with several central banks. In these reciprocal

4
currency arrangements, the foreign bank sold a given amount of its currency in exchange for
dollars with the promise to shop for it back with interest at an equivalent rate later. The foreign
banks then lent the dollars bent depository institutions within their jurisdiction. Because these
depository institutions had record items denominated in dollars but cash reserves in other
currencies, they often had to borrow dollars to finish transactions. While borrowing dollars is
usually an easy process, during the financial crisis, illiquid markets precluded this usual state of
affairs during the financial crisis, leaving foreign depository institutions without access to the
dollars they needed to hold out their transactions. At its peak, foreign currency from outstanding
swap lines accounted for 25% of the Federal Reserve’s total assets, demonstrating the extent of
the illiquidity in foreign countries.

Swap lines allowed these institutions to access rupee at reasonable interest rates. However, even
the swap lines couldn't continue with India (and other foreign) demand for rupee: High bid-to-
cover ratios, which indicate high demand, dominated the auctions for these funds. Although the
central banks do have foreign currency reserves, they weren't enough to hide the demand for
dollars. Moreover, the central banks would have crowded out and further crippled foreign
depository institutions who did have rupee to lend by lending dollars at a far better rate of
interest. Swap lines let American depository institutions and other foreign depository institutions
keep their dollars rather than lending them out, strengthening banks worldwide. Opening swap
lines successfully eased dollar lending pressures consistent with several measures.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The random-walk theory assumes that security price is not correlated with historical prices. It
assumes that there is no trend is visible in stock price movements and they are independent.
Therefore, the Efficient Market Hypothesis theory suggests that historical prices have no
predictive capacity over the future prices. Thus, subsequent price shift should be random
(Alexander (1961); Ball and Brown (1968), Fama, (1965); Rosenstein and Wyatt (1990),
Chopra et al. (1992), Malkiel (1995), Jensen and Benington, (1970), Fama, (1970), DeBondt
and Thaler (1985), Kothari and Warner (1997), Elton et al. (1993), Collins and Dent (1984),
Seppi (1992); MacKinlay (1997), Campbell, Lo, and MacKinlay (1997), Corrado (1989),
Jensen and Ruback (1983), Charest (1978) and Jarrell, Brickley and Netter (1988)). The event

study methodology is one of the most used tool in economics, accounting and financial
research. The first event study documented in the financial literature was by James Dolley
(1933), cited in MacKinley (1997) in his article Event Studies in Economics and Finance. John
Dolley tried to explore how share prices react to stock splits announcement and found that there
was an impact to the extent of 60 percent. Later many researchers have employed this
methodology for example John H. Myers and Archie Bakay (1948), John Ashley (1962);
Subramani. M. & E. Walden (2001), Cannella and Hambrick, (1993), MacKinlay (1997);
Chaney et al. (1991), Kothari and Warner (2006), Morck and Yeung, (1992), DeFond et
al.(2010), Jeong and Lu (2008), Das, Sen and Sengupta (1998). But, what event study
methodology are we following today was outlined by Ball & Brown (1968) and Fama et al.
(1969). In simple words, event study methodology examines the behaviour of corporates‟ stock
and bond prices (returns) around specific events. Stock market attitude during general elections
was examined by researchers, for example Bialkowski et al. (2008); Zach (2003); Ray M. &
Nickles (2009), Nicholas Chen (2004); Pantzalis et al. (2000); Huang (1985), Beaulieu et al.
(2005); Liu (2007); Khalid, Ahmed et al. (2010); Gartner (1994); Gartner et al. (1995);
Acemoglu, et al. (2003); Dopke and Pierdzioch (2006); Stovall (1992); Anoop Singh (2006);
Kim and Mei (1999); Zach (2003), Gärtner and Wellershoff (1995), Leblang and Mukherjee
(2005), Leduc & Pammett (2013), Abidin & Martin (2010). Beyer et al. (2008); Nordhaus,
(1975); Li and Born (2006); MacRae, (1977); Ploeg (1984); Beaulieu et al. (2005), Bernanke
and Kuttner (2005); Martínez and Santiso (2003), Cowart (1978), Hibbs (1977), Allvine,

O‟Neill (1980); Drazen (2001) and Sturm (2013); Johnson et al. (1999) and Zhao et al. (2004).
However, Nordhaus (1975) created the first political business cycle.

Statement of the problem

The debate in the branch of financial economics seems to be unending and is still continuing,
especially in regard to the efficiency of the stock market. In an efficient market where everyone
has equal access to information, the price of a share can impound information quickly and
accurately. With a gradual flow of new information in an efficient market characterised by
instantaneous price adjustment, successive price changes are random. The Efficient Market
Hypothesis (EMH) states that stock prices reflect all available information so that prices are near
their intrinsic value. Market efficiency has an influence on the investment strategy of an investor.
One of the most important functions of the capital market is to canalise resources for productive
use. It can perform this function effectively only if it is able to build up investors’ confidence by
ensuring that the expected return from an investment opportunity is commensurate with the risk
associated with it both in the primary and the secondary markets. Now if the market is efficient,
trying to pick up the winner stocks will be wastage of time for the investors. Given their risk in
an efficient market, there will be no undervalued stocks offering higher than expected returns. On
the other hand, if markets are not efficient, excess returns can be made by correctly picking the
winner stocks.
Scope of the study
 The present study can be extended by collecting the primary data from retail investors
and institutional investors on calendar anomalies especially with respect to
announcement based strategies. This would give us more insight into the changing pattern
of anomalies over the period, successful trading strategies applied for finding
opportunities across the globe and lastly the degree of market efficiency and market
integration.
 The study on linearity and non-linearity of the risk and returns during various calendar
anomalies and its implications have to be studied from the angle of retail and institutional
investors. The policy implications of this study and the corrective actions that need to be
taken by the regulators can also be the area for future research.
 The analysis can also be extended to understand causal impact of sectoral indices on
broader indices and vice versa in various developed and developing countries during
various time periods.
 An event study methodology on the changing pattern of calendar anomalies can be
studied over different time frames. The important regulatory measures taken by
government and market regulators and their impact on markets for the study.

HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY
H0: There is no significance difference between the mean returns before the event (policy
announcement) and the after the (policy announcement) event. (µ1 = µ2)

H1: There is a significance difference between the mean returns before the event (policy
announcement) and the after the (policy announcement) event. (µ1 ≠ µ2)

Tools of for data collection

The F-Statistic: The F-statistic is that the test statistic for F-tests. generally, an F-statistic may
be a ratio of two quantities that are expected to be roughly equal under the null hypothesis,
which produces an F-statistic of roughly 1.

The F-statistic incorporates both measures of variability discussed above. Let's take a glance
at how these measures can work together to supply low and high F-values. check out the graphs
below and compare the width of the spread of the group means to the width of the spread within
each group.

The low F-value graph shows a case where the group means are approximate (low variability)
relative to the variability within each group. The high F-value graph shows a case where the
variability of group means is large relative to the within group variability. so as to reject the
null hypothesis that the group means are equal, we'd like a high F-value.

The T-Test

The t-test assesses whether the means of two groups are statistically different from one another.
This analysis is acceptable whenever you would like to match the means of two groups, and
particularly appropriate because the analysis for the post-test-only two-group randomized
experimental design. Statistical Analysis of the t-test The formula for the t-test may be a ratio.
the highest a part of the ratio is simply the difference between the 2 means or averages. rock
bottom part may be a measure of the variability or dispersion of the scores. This formula is
actually another example of the signal-to-noise metaphor in research: the difference between
the means is that the signal that, during this case, we expect our program or treatment
introduced into the data; rock bottom a part of the formula may be a measure of variability
that's essentially noise which will make it harder to ascertain the group difference. Figure 3
shows the formula for the t-test and the way the numerator and denominator are associated with
the distributions.

Formula for the t-test.

The top a part of the formula is straightforward to compute – just find the difference between
the means. rock bottom part is named the quality error of the difference. To compute it, we take
the variance for every group and divide it by the amount of individuals therein group. We add
these two values then take their root. the precise formula for the quality error of the difference
between the mean.
Data Analysis

For the aim of the Study because the current empirical study was analytical in nature, the info
for the aim of the study was hooked in to secondary sources. For the aim of the study BSE
Sensex, Nifty Fifty, BSE FMCG, BSE AUTO, BSE IT, BSE Infrastructure, BSE Power,
BSE Metal, BSE Tele Communication, and BSE Consumer Durables indices were chosen.
For study purpose, the adjusted price for the chosen indices namely BSE Sensex, Nifty Fifty,
BSE FMCG, BSE AUTO, BSE IT, BSE Infrastructure, BSE Power, BSE Metal, BSE Tele
Communication, and BSE Consumer Durables was collected from Capital line data base.
Daily returns are calculated as logarithmic differences of daily closing prices. With help of excel.

Limitation of the study

 The data collected data from website BSE various hence the info has not been validated
for its accuracy.

 Since indices are used it's not very sensitive to individual stock movement this might not
capture stock-specific relationships across the market.

 That study confine only indices to not individual stocks this generalization at the extent
of index might not reflect in individual stock.

 Hence investors cannot use this info while investing in individual stock

 The data utilized in the study its raw and unverified could have errors over looked within
the study

Chapter 3

One event that catches attention of the investor community every three months is the monetary
policy that is announced by the Indian central bank, the RBI……like it did today when the RBI
announced its quarterly review for the monetary policy for 2011-12. Every move the RBI
makes, even if it is irrelevant to the long term performance of the Indian economy or financial
markets, is dissected and discussed threadbare. Leave the RBI Governor aside, expert opinions
flood the newswires from brokers, analysts, and fund managers. Even the Finance Minister
shares the limelight in giving his opinion on the RBI’s policy.

Amidst all this, the RBI Governor is either made a hero or a villain, depending on how well
he’s taken care of the market’s expectations. Now the question is – why is monetary policy such
a widely followed event in the investor community? What impact does it have on stock prices?
Let’s try to answer these questions.
But before that, let’s first understand what monetary policy really is.

In its very simplest form, monetary policy is the process by which the monetary authority of a
country – mostly a central bank like the RBI – controls the supply of money. It does this by
targeting the interest rates at which money is borrowed and lent. The ultimate target of a
monetary policy is to promote economic growth and price stability (or inflation). A typical
monetary policy is referred to as either being “expansionary” or “contractionary”. In effect, a
monetary policy is like a lever in the hands of a central bank, which it pulls up or down to
increase or reduce interest rates, which thereby impacts the money supply in an economy.

If you get a chance to listen to a business channel after the RBI announces its monetary policy –
like it did today – you would be forced to believe that the monetary policy is something on
which the future of the Indian economy or its stock markets depend. Of course, monetary policy
impacts stock prices but this is temporary and largely a knee-jerk reaction to the degree of
change in interest rate vis-à-vis the expectations.

So the stock prices won’t be impacted if the market is expecting the RBI to raise interest rate by
0.5%, and the RBI does exactly the same. Instead, stock prices will be impacted when the

11
market is expecting the RBI to raise interest rate by 0.5%, and the RBI does something else –
maybe raises rate by only 0.25% or does nothing at all.

So, it’s all about the expectations and how different it is from reality. Now you may ask –
“Doesn’t changes in interest rates impact the economy and thus the stock markets in the long
run as well?” Well, in the long run, interest rate is just one of the many variables that impact
stock prices.

Its biggest impact falls on the intrinsic value calculation of a stock. As we discussed in
yesterday’s post on intrinsic value, to value future cash flows using the discounted cash flow
method, you must discount them back to their present value. As higher interest rates make a
given future cash flow less valuable in today’s rupees, higher interest rates reduce the intrinsic
value of a stock. As you can see in the excel file, I’ve marked 2 cells in black colour – the
‘discount rate’, and the ‘intrinsic value’.

The ‘discount rate’ is the average cost of capital for a firm, and is dependent on the cost of
borrowings (interest rate) apart from the cost of equity. A rise in interest rate leads to a rise in
the discount rate. And as you check out in the excel, as you increase the discount rate from 10%
to say 12%, the intrinsic value decreases from Rs 132,514 to Rs 95,956.

In effect, higher interest rates make future cash flows less valuable in today’s rupees, and
thus reduce the intrinsic value of a stock.

The second negative impact of higher interest rate on stocks is that it makes investments
other than stocks, such as bonds, more attractive.

For instance, a bond that pays me an annual interest of 10% is always safer than a stock that
returns 12% with all the risks attached. As such, rising interest rate raises the return that I would
like to earn from stocks and reduces what I would be willing to pay for them. Under either of
the above interpretations, ‘expectations’ of higher interest rates are bad news for stocks.
Anyways, things move in the reverse direction when the ‘expectations’ are for a fall in interest
rates.

12
So all in all, we have a list of three key factors that should affect stock prices when it comes to
their relation with monetary policy and interest rates:

1. Expectations that current or future cash flows will be higher should raise stock prices.
2. Expectations that current or future interest rates will be higher should lower stock prices.
3. Expectations that lead investors to demand a higher risk premium (due to higher discount
rate) on stocks should lower stock prices.

What this simply means is that the RBI’s actions should affect stock prices only to the extent
that they affect investor expectations about cash flows, interest rates, or the riskiness of stocks.

Every other explanation you hear in the media isn’t relevant and worth your time.

In economics and political science, fiscal policy is the use of government revenue collection
(taxes or tax cuts) and expenditure (spending) to influence a country's economy. The use of
government revenues and expenditures to influence macroeconomic variables developed as a
result of the Great Depression, when the previous laissez-faire approach to economic
management became unpopular. Fiscal policy is based on the theories of the British
economist John Maynard Keynes, whose Keynesian economics theorized that government
changes in the levels of taxation and government spending influences aggregate demand and the
level of economic activity. Fiscal and monetary policy are the key strategies used by a country's
government and central bank to advance its economic objectives. The combination of these
policies enables these authorities to target inflation (which is considered "healthy" at the level in
the range 2%–3%) and to increase employment. Additionally, it is designed to try to
keep GDP growth at 2%–3% and the unemployment rate near the natural unemployment rate of
4%–5%.[1] This implies that fiscal policy is used to stabilize the economy over the course of
the business cycle.

Changes in the level and composition of taxation and government spending can affect
macroeconomic variables, including:

 aggregate demand and the level of economic activity


 saving and investment
 income distribution
 allocation of resources.

13
Fiscal policy can be distinguished from monetary policy, in that fiscal policy deals with taxation
and government spending and is often administered by a government department; while
monetary policy deals with the money supply, interest rates and is often administered by a
country's central bank. Both fiscal and monetary policies influence a country's economic
performance.

Analysis: The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event, that
is the date of policy1 cut in interest rate announcement. The policy announcement date was on
1.10.2019. The above table shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats
for the 30 days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of announcement policy CUT IN INTEREST RATE , it was observed that the highest
Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of
0.052635 on day -7 with a t value of 6.693684 (statistically significant) followed by an AR of
0.02761on -6th day with a t value of 3.511157 (statistically significant) and for -25th day with an
AR of 0.019457with a t value of 2.474378 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.01903
on day -13 with a t value of -2.2583782 (statistically significant) . However, after the event day
BSE has recorded the highest abnormal return on day 14 0.0527868 with a t value of 6.26457661
(statistically significant) followed by day 15 with AR of 0.027814 with a t value of 3.30088097
(statistically significant) and on 27th day AR was 0.0159855 with a t value of 1.89710821
(statistically not significant) and on 11th day with least AR was -0.017643 with a t value of -
2.0938271 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.019136on day 1 with a t value of -
2.2710173 (statistically significant). However, on the event day the Recorded AR was 0.0068537
with a t value of 0.81338077 (statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which policy announcement was made. Event window in the
above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from
the cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

H0: σ21 = σ2 2

H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from
the cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. After the event there is raising and its started huge hike.

Analysis: The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event, that
is the date of policy2 cut in interest rate announcement. The policy announcement date was on
1.10.2019. The above table shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats
for the 30 days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

The pre event 6th day the highest AR was 0.042087 and the t value is 5.126451 its statistically
significant the next highest value of pre event 7th day AR was found 0.039122 and the t value is
4.765274 statistically significant and least AR found 21 st day AR was 0.017332 and its t value
2.111097 statistically significant and the event day AR was -0.00878 and the t value -1.0699

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from
the cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. After the event there is raising and its started huge hike.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

H0: σ21 = σ2 2

H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from
the cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been volatile

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

H0: σ21 = σ2 2

H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from
the cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

H0: σ21 = σ2 2

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from
the cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

H0: σ21 = σ2 2

H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

calculated F value was 2.880749 which is less than the F Critical 4.283866 (for 7 days’ event
window). Therefore, we can accept the null hypothesis. The calculated F value was which
2.70882 is more than the F Critical 2.483726 (for 15 days’ event window). Therefore, we cannot
reject the null hypothesis. The calculated F value was 2.057208 which is more than the F Critical
1.860811 (for 30 days’ event window). Therefore, we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from
the cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

Analysis: The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event, that is
the date of policy 2 7 big bank merger announcement. The policy announcement date was on
30.8.2019. The above table shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats
for the 30 days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of announcement policy 7 BIG BANK MERGER, it was observed that the highest
Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of
0.0197423on day -4 with a t value of 2.34296081 (statistically significant) followed by an AR of
0.0149983 on -16th day with a t value of 1.77994967 (statistically not significant) and for -12th day

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering only
after 14th day.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

H0: σ21 = σ2 2

H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

Analysis: -

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event, that is the date
of big bank merger announcement. The policy announcement date was on 30.8.2019. The above
shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30 days’ event window
(-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of 7 BIG BANK MERGER, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR)
recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.018982 on day -4 with a t value
of 2.2095937 (statistically significant) followed by an AR of 0.014099 on -12th day with a t value
of 1.641141 (statistically not significant) and for -16th day with an AR of 0.013685 with a t value
of 1.5930397 (statistically not significant) and with least AR of -0.01691 on day -6 with a t value of
-1.968752 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.01925 on day -13 with a t value of -
2.240815 (statistically significant). However, after the event day NIFTY has recorded the highest
abnormal return on day 14 0.052524 with a t value of 6.11403 (statistically significant) followed
by day 15 with AR of 0.02818 with a t value of 3.28026 (statistically significant) and on 27th day
AR was 0.015322 with a t value of 1.785421 (statistically not significant) and on 11th day with least
AR was -0.01748 with a t value of -2.034216 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.01917
day 1 with a t value of -2.231555 (statistically significant). However, on the event day the Recorded
AR was 0.006338 with a t value of 0.7378054 (statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of 7 big bank merger announcement. The policy announcement date was on
30.8.2019. The above shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the
30 days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of 7 BIG BANK MERGER, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR)
recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.015187 on day -4 with a t value
of 1.8466364 (statistically not significant) followed by an AR of 0.012356 on -28th day with a t
value of 1.5023586 (statistically not significant) and for -16th day with an AR of 0.010734 with a t
value of 1.305152 (statistically not significant) and with least AR of -0.01976 on day -13 with a t
value of -2.403134 (statistically significant. However, after the event day BSE FMCG has recorded
the highest abnormal return on day 15th 0.042001 with a t value of 5.1069261 (statistically
significant) followed by day 14th with AR of 0.039064 with a t value of 4.7497958 (statistically
significant) and on 29th day AR was 0.009722 with a t value of 1.1820786 (statistically not
significant). However, on the event day the Recorded AR was 0.017241 with a t value of 2.0963856
(statistically significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase before
the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event day there was a
sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering only after 14 th day.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with
the following hypothesis:

H0: σ21 = σ2 2

H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

It is evident from the above table that the calculated F value was 1.060094which is less than the F
Critical 19.0 (for 3 days’ event window). Therefore, we cannot reject the null hypothesis. The
calculated F value was 1.561917 which is less than the F Critical 4.283866 (for 7 days’ event
window). Therefore, we can accept the null hypothesis. The calculated F value was which
3.498839is more than the F Critical 2.483726 (for 15 days’ event window). Therefore, we cannot
reject the null hypothesis. The calculated F value was 2.37923which is more than the F Critical
1.860811 (for 30 days’ event window). Therefore, we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of 7 big bank merger announcement. The policy announcement date was on
30.8.2019. The above shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the
30 days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of 7 BIG BANK MERGER, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR)
recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.026058 on day -16th with a t
value of 1.9873144 (statistically significant) followed by an AR of 0.021534 on -15th day with a t
value of 1.6422899 (statistically not significant) and for -5th day with an AR of 0.020798 with a t
value of 1.5861541 (statistically not significant) and with least AR of -0.03124 on day -30th with a
t value of -2.382877 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.03507 on day -24 with a t
value of -2.6743 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.04099 on day -13 with a t value
of -3.126223 (statistically significant). However, after the event day BSE AUTO has recorded the
highest abnormal return on day 14 0.096271 with a t value of 7.3420122 (statistically
significant) followed by day 7 with AR of 0.034268 with a t value of 2.6134014 (statistically
significant) and on 18th day AR was 0.026375 with a t value of 2.0114515 (statistically
significant) and on 4th day with AR was 0.025834 with a t value of 1.9702387 (statistically
significant) and with least AR of -0.03768 day 11 with a t value of -2.873684 (statistically
significant) and with least AR of -0.03902 day 17 with a t value of -2.975623 (statistically
significant). However, on the event day the Recorded AR was 0.006077 with a t value of 0.006077

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering only
after 13th day.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

H0: σ21 = σ2 2

H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of 7 big bank merger announcement. The policy announcement date was on
30.8.2019. The above shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the
30 days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of 7 BIG BANK MERGER, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR)
recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.017528 on day -16th with a t
value of 1.5263536 (statistically not significant) followed by an AR of 0.014481 on -8th day with a
t value of 1.2609646 (statistically not significant) and for -5th day with an AR of 0.013265 with a t
value of 1.1551175 (statistically not significant) and with least AR of -0.0279 on day -13th with a t
value of -2.429788 (statistically significant).However, after the event day BSE IT has recorded the
highest abnormal return on day 16 0.023849 with a t value of 2.0767043 (statistically
significant) followed by day 20 with AR of 0.022665 with a t value of 1.9736409 (statistically
significant) and on 29th day AR was 0.015496 with a t value of 1.3493442 (statistically not
significant) and on 15th day with AR was -0.03336 with a t value of -2.904919 (statistically
significant) However, on the event day the Recorded AR was 0.007812 with a t value of 0.6802927
(statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

H0: σ21 = σ2 2

H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

It is evident from the above table that the calculated F value was 42.63961 which is more than the
F Critical 19.0 (for 3 days’ event window). Therefore, we can reject the null hypothesis. The
calculated F value was 2.11773 which is less than the F Critical 4.283866 (for 7 days’ event
window). Therefore, we can accept the null hypothesis. The calculated F value was which 1.16938

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event, that is the
date of 7 big bank merger announcement. The policy announcement date was on 30.8.2019. The
above shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30 days’ event
window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of 7 BIG BANK MERGER, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR)
recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.0217787 on day -4 with a t
value of 1.764041 (statistically not significant) followed by an AR of 0.0201654 on -3rd day with
a t value of 1.633366 (statistically not significant) and for -5th day with an AR of 0.0178583 with a
t value of 1.446494 (statistically not significant) and with least AR of -0.024876 on day -12 with a
t value of -2.01492 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.026021 on day -7 with a t value
of -2.10764 (statistically significant). However, after the event day BSE INFRASTRUCTURE has
recorded the highest abnormal return on day 13th 0.0411815 with a t value of 3.335646 (statistically
significant) followed by day 14th with AR of 0.0286165 with a t value of 2.317895 (statistically
significant) and on 24th day AR was 0.0179817 with a t value of 1.456492 (statistically not
significant). However, on the event day the Recorded AR was -0.001742 with a t value of -0.14108
(statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been NOT started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

H0: σ21 = σ2 2

H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

calculated F value was 2.115298 which is less than the F Critical 4.283866 (for 7 days’ event
window). Therefore, we can accept the null hypothesis. The calculated F value was which

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event, that is the
date of 7 big bank merger announcement. The policy announcement date was on 30.8.2019. The
above shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30 days’ event
window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of 7 BIG BANK MERGER, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR)
recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.04163 on day -5 with a t value
of 2.7493832 (statistically significant) followed by an AR of 0.035598on -11th day with a t value
of 2.3510441 (statistically significant) and for -20th day with an AR of 0.028399 with a t value
of 1.875574 (statistically not significant) and with least AR of -0.03031 on day -19th with a t value
of -2.002044 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.03069 on day -7 with a t value of -
2.026861 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.03161 on day -21 with a t value of -
2.087489 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.03469 on day -6 with a t value of -
2.291328 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.0359 on day -2 with a t value of -
2.371287 (statistically significant). However, after the event day BSE METAL has recorded the
highest abnormal return on day 13 0.059723 with a t value of 3.9443434 (statistically
significant) followed by day 17 with AR of 0.043164 with a t value of 2.8507182 (statistically

96
significant) and on 24th day AR was 0.02349 with a t value of 1.5513638 (statistically not
significant). However, on the event day the Recorded AR was 0.018406with a t value of 1.21562
(statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering only
after 12th day.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

H0: σ21 = σ2 2

H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event, that is the
date of 7 big bank merger announcement. The policy announcement date was on 30.8.2019. The
above shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30 days’ event
window (-30 to 0 to +30)

In case of 7 BIG BANK MERGER, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR)
recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.035981 on day -18th with a t
value of 2.3935225 (statistically significant) followed by an AR of 0.025577 on -11th day with a t
value of 1.7013899 (statistically not significant) and for -16th day with an AR of 0.018616 with a t
value of 1.2383666 (statistically not significant). However, after the event day BSE
TELECOMMUNICATION has recorded the highest abnormal return on day 13 0.05057 with a t
value of 3.3640075 (statistically significant) followed by day 24 with AR of 0.048456 with a

101
t value of 3.2233868 (statistically significant) and on 19th day AR was 0.037771 with a t value of
2.5125725 (statistically significant) and on 25th day with AR was 0.036686 with a t value of
2.4403806 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.04554 day 20 with a t value of -3.029648
(statistically significant). However, on the event day the Recorded AR was 0.002442 with a t value

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in the above
diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and from 1 to 30 days
are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering only
after 22th day.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event, that is the
date of 7 big bank merger announcement. The policy announcement date was on 30.8.2019. The
above shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30 days’ event
window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of POLICY 3 7 BIG BANK MERGER, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return
(AR) recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.013776 on day -9th with
a t value of 1.2143566 (statistically not significant) followed by an AR of 0.013081 on -13th day
with a t value of 1.1530939 (statistically not significant) and for -4th day with an AR of 0.012542
with a t value of 1.1055384 (statistically not significant). However, after the event day BSE

106
CONSUMER DURABLE Shas recorded the highest abnormal return on day 13 0.071309 with a t
value of 6.2858235 (statistically significant) followed by day 14 with AR of 0.030307 with a
t value of 2.6715365 (statistically significant) and on 8th day AR was 0.017667 with a t value of
1.5572808 (statistically not significant) and on 22nd day with least AR was -0.02342 with a t value
of -2.064705 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.02835 day 1 with a t value of -
2.498791 (statistically significant). However, on the event day the Recorded AR was 0.006187 with
a t value of 0.5454049 (statistically not significant)

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering only
after 12th day.

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of policy announcement. The policy announcement date was on 04-10-2019. The

111
above table No. 4.1 shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30
days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of BSE SENSEX, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the
pre-event period ranging from the lowest value 0.052732 on day –10th with a t value of 6.597583
(statistically significant) followed by an AR of 0.028346 on -9th day with AR t value of 3.546567
(statistically significant) and for -28th day with an AR of 0.019085with a t value of 2.387832
(statistically significant). However, after the event day BSE SENSEX has recorded the highest
abnormal return 0.017418 on 17th day with t value 0.017418 followed by 3rd day with AR
of 0.027644 with a t value of 3.525177 (statistically significant) and on -28th day AR was 0.019518
with a t value of 1.932734 (statistically significant ). However, on the event day the Recorded AR
was -0.01478with a t value of -0.01478 (statistically not significant). Post event 25th day AR -0.00879
and the t stats -1.10018 statistically not significant.

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering only
after 2nd day.

In case of NIFTY, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the pre-
event period ranging from the lowest value 0.052732on day –10th with a t value of 6.597583
(statistically significant) followed by an AR of 0.028346 on -9th day with AR t value of 3.546567
(statistically significant) and for -28th day with an AR of 0.019085with a t value of 2.387832
(statistically significant). However, after the event day NIFTY has recorded the highest abnormal
return 0.017418 on 17th day with t value 0.017418 followed by 3rd day with AR of 0.027644 with
a t value of 3.525177 (statistically significant) and on -28th day AR was 0.019518 with a t value
of 1.932734 (statistically significant). However, on the event day the Recorded AR was -
0.01478with a t value of -0.01478 (statistically not significant). Post event 25th day AR -0.00879

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

116
1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering only
after 2nd day.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:
H0: σ21 = σ2 2
H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of policy announcement. The policy announcement date was on 04-10-2019. The

120
above table No. 4.1 shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30
days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of NIFTY, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the pre-
event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.0390833on day -24 with a t value of 4.62824
(statistically significant) followed by an AR of 0.011206 on -10TH day with a t value of 4.62824
(statistically significant) and for -9th day with an AR of 0.041971with a t value of 4.970195
(statistically significant). However, after the event day BSE AUTO has recorded the highest
abnormal return on . However, on the event day the Recorded AR was 0.007979428 with a t value
of -0.936912112 (statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the event
day there was a dip and gone into volatile phase and its volatile.

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of policy announcement. The policy announcement date was on 04-10-2019. The
above table No. 4.1 shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30
days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of BSE AUTO, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the
pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.01127 on day - 20 with a t value
of 1.323241 (statistically not significant) followed by an AR of 0.011206 on 26th day with a t value
of 1.315763 (statistically not significant) and for -4th day with an AR of 0.010653 with a t value
of 1.25086 (statistically not significant). However, after the event day BSE AUTO has recorded
the highest abnormal return on followed by 25th day with AR of 0.013901with a t value
of 1.632167 (statistically not significant) and on 7th day AR was 0.01259 with a t value
of 1.632167 (statistically not significant ). However, on the event day the Recorded AR
was 0.007979428 with a t value of -0.936912112 (statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from
the cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising
phase before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the
event day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of policy announcement. The policy announcement date was on 04-10-2019. The
above table No. 4.1 shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30
days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of BSE IT, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the pre-
event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.01127 on day - 20 with a t value
of 1.323241 (statistically not significant) followed by an AR of 0.011206 on 26th day with a t value
of 1.315763 (statistically not significant) and for -4th day with an AR of 0.010653 with a t value
of 1.25086 (statistically not significant). However, after the event day BSE IT has recorded the
highest abnormal return on followed by 25th day with AR of 0.013901with a t value
of 1.632167 (statistically not significant) and on 7th day AR was 0.01259 with a t value
of 1.632167 (statistically not significant ). However, on the event day the Recorded AR
was 0.007979428 with a t value of -0.936912112 (statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from
the cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

130
3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising
phase before the event day. However, it was started falling just three days before the event on the
event day there was a sharp dip and gone into negative phase and it has been started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:
H0: σ21 = σ2 2
H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of policy announcement. The policy announcement date was on 04-10-2019. The
above table No. 4.1 shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30
days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of BSE POWER, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the
pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.01127 on day - 20 with a t value
of 1.323241 (statistically not significant) followed by an AR of 0.011206 on 26th day with a t value
of 1.315763 (statistically not significant) and for -4th day with an AR of 0.010653 with a t value
of 1.25086 (statistically not significant). However, after the event days POWER has recorded the
highest abnormal return on followed by 25th day with AR of 0.013901with a t value
of 1.632167 (statistically not significant) and on 7th day AR was 0.01259 with a t value

134
of 1.632167 (statistically not significant). However, on the event day the Recorded AR
was 0.007979428 with a t value of -0.936912112 (statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. and it has been started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

It is evident from the above table that the calculated F value was 3.771895which is less than the F
Critical 19.0 (for 3 days’ event window). Therefore, we cannot reject the null hypothesis. The
calculated F value was 1.986403which is greater than the F Critical 4.283866 (for 7 days’ event

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of policy announcement. The policy announcement date was on 04-10-2019. The
above table No. 4.1 shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30
days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of BSE INFRASTRACTURE, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR)
recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.01127 on day - 20 with a t
value of 1.323241 (statistically not significant) followed by an AR of 0.011206 on 26th day with a
t value of 1.315763 (statistically not significant) and for -4th day with an AR of 0.010653 with a t
value of 1.25086 (statistically not significant). However, after the event day BSE
INFRASTRUCTURE has recorded the highest abnormal return on followed by 25th day with AR
of 0.013901with a t value of 1.632167 (statistically not significant) and on 7th day AR
was 0.01259 with a t value of 1.632167 (statistically not significant ) . However, on the event day
the Recorded AR was 0.007979428 with a t value of -0.936912112 (statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

139
3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started raising pre event it has been started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:
H0: σ21 = σ2 2
H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

calculated F value was 1.144499 which is greater than the F Critical 4.283866 (for 7 days’ event
window). Therefore, we can reject the null hypothesis. The calculated F value was 2.444281which
is more than the F Critical 2.483726 (for 15 days’ event window). Therefore, we cann reject the
null hypothesis. The calculated F value was 2.99884 which is less than the F Critical 1.860811 (for

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of policy announcement. The policy announcement date was on 04-10-2019. The
above table No. 4.1 shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30
days’ event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case of BSE METAL, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the
pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.01127 on day - 20 with a t value
of 1.323241 (statistically not significant) followed by an AR of 0.011206 on 26th day with a t value
of 1.315763 (statistically not significant) and for -4th day with an AR of 0.010653 with a t value
of 1.25086 (statistically not significant). However, after the event day BSE METAL has recorded
the highest abnormal return followed by 25th day with AR of 0.013901with a t value
of 1.632167 (statistically not significant) and on 7th day AR was 0.01259 with a t value
of 1.632167 (statistically not significant ) . However, on the event day the Recorded AR
was 0.007979428 with a t value of -0.936912112 (statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started raising pre event it has been started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of policy announcement. The policy announcement date was on 04-10-2019. The
above table shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30 days’
event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

147
In case of it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the pre-event period
ranging from the lowest value of 0.01127 on day - 20 with a t value of 1.323241 (statistically not
significant) followed by an AR of 0.011206 on 26th day with a t value of 1.315763 (statistically not
significant) and for -4th day with an AR of 0.010653 with a t value of 1.25086 (statistically not
significant). However, after the event day has recorded the highest abnormal return on followed
by 25th day with AR of 0.013901with a t value of 1.632167 (statistically not significant) and on
7th day AR was 0.01259 with a t value of 1.632167 (statistically not significant ). However, on the
event day the Recorded AR was 0.007979428 with a t value of -0.936912112 (statistically not
significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
after the event day. However, it was started raising pre event it has been started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:

Analysis:

The data has been collected for a period of thirty days before and after the event,
that is the date of policy announcement. The policy announcement date was on 04-10-2019. The
above table shows abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns and t stats for the 30 days’
event window (-30 to 0 to +30).

In case CONSUMER DURABLES, it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR)
recorded in the pre-event period ranging from the lowest value of 0.01127 on day - 20 with a t
value of 1.323241 (statistically not significant) followed by an AR of 0.011206 on 26th day with a
t value of 1.315763 (statistically not significant) and for -4th day with an AR of 0.010653 with a t
value of 1.25086 (statistically not significant). However, after the event day BSE CONSUMER
DURABLES has recorded the highest abnormal return on followed by 25th day with AR
of 0.013901with a t value of 1.632167 (statistically not significant) and on 7th day AR
was 0.01259 with a t value of 1.632167 (statistically not significant ) . However, on the event day
the Recorded AR was 0.007979428 with a t value of -0.936912112 (statistically not significant).

In above graph 0 is the event day on which dividend announcement was made. Event window in
the above diagram is restricted to 60 days. -1 to -30 days are dated before the announcement and
from 1 to 30 days are dated after the announcement of policy.

1) There is an impact of policy announcement news on the stock returns which is evident from the
cumulative abnormal returns curve around the event day.

2) The table shows that the cumulative abnormal returns around event day.

3) The graph shows that the cumulative abnormal returns, were volatile but was on a raising phase
before the event day. However, it was started raising pre event it has been started recovering.

In order to verify the variance before and after the event F test has been conducted with the
following hypothesis:
H0: σ21 = σ2 2
H1: σ21 ≠ σ2 2

calculated F value was 4.089215which is greater than the F Critical 4.283866 (for 7 days’ event
window). Therefore, we can reject the null hypothesis. The calculated F value was 6.174579 which
is more than the F Critical 2.483726 (for 15 days’ event window). Therefore, we cannot reject the

CHAPTER 5
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS

5.1 A BRIEF SUMMARY OF FINDINGS


POLICY ANNOUNCEMENT 1: CUT IN INTEREST RATE
 BSE SENSEX:
It was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the pre-event period ranging
from the lowest value of 0.052635 on day -7 with a t value of 6.693684 (statistically significant)
followed by an AR of 0.02761on -6th day with a t value of 3.511157 (statistically significant) and
for -25th day with an AR of 0.019457with a t value of 2.474378 (statistically significant) and with
least AR of -0.01903 on day -13 with a t value of -2.2583782 (statistically significant). However,
after the event day BSE has recorded the highest abnormal return on day 14 0.0527868 with a t
value of 6.26457661 (statistically significant) followed by day 15 with AR of 0.027814 with a
t value of 3.30088097 (statistically significant) and on 27th day AR was 0.0159855 with a t value
of 1.89710821 (statistically not significant) and on 11th day with least AR was -0.017643 with a t
value of -2.0938271 (statistically significant) and with least AR of -0.019136on day 1 with a t
value of -2.2710173 (statistically significant). However, on the event day the Recorded AR
was 0.0068537 with a t value of 0.81338077 (statistically not significant).

F test results: as the computed F value is greater than the F critical value, hence, the researcher
reject the null hypothesis for 7,15 and 30 days’ event window. And the computed F value is less
than F critical value, hence the researcher not rejects the null hypothesis for 3 days’ event window.
T test results: As the computed t value is less than the t critical value, hence, the researcher did not
reject the null hypothesis.

 NSE NIFTY:
it was observed that the highest Abnormal Return (AR) recorded in the Pre event -7th day highest

significant) the event day AR WAS -0.00813 and its t value -.04466528 (statistically not
significant).

F test results: as the computed F value is greater than the F critical value, hence, the researcher
reject the null hypothesis for 7,15 and 30 days’ event window. And the computed F value is less
than F critical value, hence the researcher not rejects the null hypothesis for 3 days event window.
T test results: As the computed t value is less than the t critical value, hence, the researcher did not
reject the null hypothesis.

 BSE FMCG:
The pre event 6th day the highest AR was 0.042087 and the t value is 5.126451 its statistically
significant the next highest value of pre event 7th day AR was found 0.039122 and the t value is
4.765274 statistically significant and least AR found 21st day AR was 0.017332 and its t value
2.111097 statistically significant and the event day AR was -0.00878 and the t value -1.0699
statistically not significant.

F test results: as the computed F value is greater than the F critical value, hence, the researcher
reject the null hypothesis for 7,15 and 30 days’ event window. And the computed F value is less
than F critical value, hence the researcher not rejects the null hypothesis for 3 days’ event window.
t test results: As the computed t value is less than the t critical value, hence, the researcher did not

5.2 CONCLUSION
The current empirical study “policy announcement and its impact on stock market” “it has been
undertaken to understand the impact of policy announcement on the risk (volatility) and the return
(mean) components of stock market adjusted volume on domestic stock market indices. In order
to realize the stated objectives, the researcher has collected the data from 01-4-2019 to 31-12-2019
from the capital line data base. An event study methodology has been employed to ascertain the
abnormal returns (AR) and student t test has been used to test the significance. For the purpose of
the study the date on which the policy announcement came out were taken as the event date (t =
0). The thirty-one days enclosing the referendum (i.e., t = - 30..., 0…..., +30) is labeled as the event
window.
The current study taken 3 major policy announcement

Policy 1 cut interest rate

The current study revealed that on the event day only one indices (BSE Tele communication)
reported statistically significant abnormal return. However, for day one none Second day none.
Third day none

F value for three days even window for indices have not reported statically significant variance
followed by BSE Sensex, Nifty Fifty, BSE FMCG, BSE AUTO, BSE Infrastructure have
reported significant volatility for seven days’ event window. Similarly, for fifteen days’ event
window BSE Sensex, Nifty Fifty, BSE FMCG, BSE Infrastructure, BSE Metal have reported
significant volatility. For thirty days’ event window BSE Sensex, Nifty Fifty, BSE FMCG, BSE
AUTO, BSE IT, BSE Metal, BSE Tele Communication, and BSE Consumer Durables).

Policy 2 7 big bank mergers

The current study revealed that on the event day seven indices namely (Nifty, BSE FMCG, BSE
Auto, BSE Power, BSE Infrastructure, BSE Metal, BSE Consumer Durables) reported
statistically significant abnormal return. However, for day one – BSE Auto have reported
statically significant abnormal return. Second day none. Third day none

F value for three days even window for indices have BSE IT reported statically significant
variance followed by have NOT reported significant volatility for seven days’ event

171
window. Similarly, for fifteen days’ event window BSE Sensex, Nifty Fifty, BSE FMCG, BSE
AUTO have reported significant volatility. For thirty days’ event window BSE Sensex, Nifty
Fifty, BSE FMCG, BSE AUTO.

Policy3 Cut in Repo Rate

The current study revealed that on the event day none of the indices reported not statistically
significant abnormal return. However, for day one none of the indices have not reported statically
significant abnormal return. Second day 2 two indices are found namely BSE, BSE Tele
communication) have been statistically significant. Third day two indices are found namely BSE,
BSE Tele communication) have been statistically significant.

F value for three and fifteen days even window for indices have not reported statically significant
variance Similarly, for fifteen days’ event window BSE Sensex, Nifty Fifty, BSE FMCG, BSE
AUTO, BSE Consumer Durables have reported significant volatility. For thirty days’ event
window BSE Sensex, Nifty Fifty, BSE FMCG, BSE AUTO, BSE IT, BSE Infrastructure,
BSE Metal, BSE Tele Communication, and BSE Consumer Durables).

The current study, that the policy announcement as its impact on stock market as a noticeable
effect on the Indian stock market especially 10 domestic indices. By the analysis we noticed that
there was a significant variance during the policy announcement after the announcement there
were abnormal returns and these returns were statistically significant on the next day and even for
few stocks it was statistically significant on the event day also had effect on the day after. Even
the f-test result says that there was high flightiness in the stock prices. Therefore, it is advisable
to the parties in the stock market to have a grip on their stocks and have a strong holding which
is risk free and also reasonable returns. This type of announcement should be taken on a serious
note by the advisories so the investors will not face the difficult situation.

abnormal returns were not statistically significant. The f-test and t-test result says that there was
high peachiness in the stock prices. Therefore, it is advisable to the participants to be extra cautious
before the policy announcement decision. One can notice on the graph that the volatility was
normal and before the event signifies the insider trading and speculation activities before the
announcement. This type of announcement should be taken on a serious note by the participants
so that they do not face risk while buying and selling the stock or it is advisable for the participants
to cover the risk exposure in derivatives market.

One can notice on the graph that the volatility was normal and raised before the event signifies the
