“…Regardless of the method used, the goal of these studies is to identify how specific events affect the wealth of investors by their ability to create prolonged positive or negative abnormal returns and, thereby, materially alter the wealth position of investors. Examples of studies that use a combination of these models include Buigut and Masinde (2022) and Kabiru et al (2015) on the impact of Kenya's elections, Afego (2013) on the effects of the earnings announcement, Gopane and Mmotla (2019) and Obi et al (2009) on the impact of major sports events, Nazir et al (2014) and Jiun (2018) on the impact of political events, and Shaikh et al (2021) on the impact of COVID-19 on the stock returns of G7 economies.…”

Using a standard event study methodology and the EGARCH model, this study examined the depth of market anomaly at the onset of the Russia–Ukraine conflict in 2022. Equity markets in Africa and G7 nations were analyzed for their varied political and economic connections to the conflict. While the G7 nations were strongly opposed to Russia, African countries remained neutral. This study shows that abnormal losses in the initial period of the conflict were larger and more persistent in the G7 markets, contradicting the widely held notion that more developed equity markets are more efficient than the less developed markets. EGARCH results revealed that volatility persistence was widely present, although the leverage effect was only confirmed for U.S. and Canada. Throughout the period, commodity prices rose sharply, producing significant abnormal gains in the futures market. Unfortunately, this had a deleterious effect on African economies due to their heavy reliance on grain and fuel imports, all of which are priced in U.S. dollars, and which also rose sharply during the period. This study concludes with suggestions on how to mitigate currency and commodity price shocks to dollar-reliant and import-dependent economies.
