Do the RMB exchange rate and global commodity prices have asymmetric or symmetric effects on China’s stock prices?

Abstract

With the rapid expansion of the RMB exchange rate’s floating range, the effects of the RMB exchange rate and global commodity price changes on China’s stock prices are likely to increase. This study uses both auto regressive distributed lag (ARDL) and nonlinear ARDL (NARDL) approaches to explore the symmetric and asymmetric effects of the RMB exchange rate and global commodity prices on China’s stock prices. Our findings show that without considering the critical variable of global commodity prices, there is no cointegration relationship between the RMB exchange rate and China’s stock prices, and the coefficient of the RMB exchange rate is not statistically significant. However, when we introduce global commodity prices into the NARDL model, the result shows that the RMB exchange rate has a negative effect on China’s stock prices, that there indeed exists a long-run cointegration relationship among the RMB exchange rate, global commodity prices, and stock prices in the NARDL model, and that global commodity price changes have an asymmetric effect on China’s stock prices in the long run. Specifically, China’s stock prices are more sensitive to increases than decreases in global commodity prices. Thus, increases in global commodity prices cause China’s stock prices to decline sharply. In contrast, the same magnitude of decline in global commodity prices induces a smaller increase in China’s stock prices.

The asymmetric effect of temperature, exchange rate, metals, and investor sentiments on solar stock price performance in China: evidence from QARDL approach

“…Nonetheless, in the long run, this effect only holds for the recession period. Although this relationship is not assessed using quantile approaches, our evidence can be supported by Long et al (2021a) who also revealed negative symmetric and asymmetric effects of the RMB exchange rate on China's stock prices using ARDL and NARDL approaches.…”

Pengaruh Rasio Solvabilitas, Rasio Profitabilitas dan Kebijakan Dividen Terhadap Harga Saham

“…Efek ekonomi makro perusahaan meliputi tingkat bunga, inflasi mata uang, politik, dan tingkat produktivitas nasional. Beberapa faktor mikro yang mempengaruhi harga saham yaitu kinerja manajemen, harga produk, bahan baku yang tersedia, kinerja karyawan, dan faktor lain yang berdampak pada keuntungan perusahaan (Long et al, 2021). Jika investor menggunakan informasi terkait saat membuat keputusan investasi, maka harga suatu saham akan mencerminkan nilai fundamental perusahaan (Defi & Wahyudi, 2022).…”

“…Additionally, it excels at uncovering hidden cointegration among variables, ensuring a more thorough and intricate analysis. This aspect is particularly highlighted in the research by Jiang and Liu [113] and Long et al [114]. In comparison to traditional analytical methods, both linear and nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag models offer substantial advantages.…”
