A Comparative Interrelationship Study of Indian Stock Market with Global Stock Markets
(Dr. Anubha Srivastava, Assistant Professor (Finance), Amity Business School, AUUP, Noida)
Introduction The Indian stock exchanges hold a place of prominence not only in Asia but also at the global stage. The Bombay
Stock Exchange (BSE) is one of the oldest exchanges across the world, while the National Stock Exchange (NSE)
is among the best in terms of sophistication and advancement of technology. The Indian stock market scene really
picked up after the opening up of the economy in the early nineties. The whole of nineties were used to experiment
and fine tune an efficient and effective system. The slowdown in the US economy and interest rate tightening made
the equation more complex. However after 2000 riding on a robust growth and a maturing economy and relaxed
regulations, outside investors- institutional and others got more scope to operate. This opening up of the system led
to increased integration with heightened cross-border flow of capital, with India emerging as an investment ‘hot
spot’ resulting in our stock exchanges being impacted by global cues like never before. (Gupta, 2011) The study
pertains to comparative analysis of the Indian Stock Market with respect to various international counterparts.
Exchanges are now crossing national boundaries to extend their service areas and this has led to cross-border
integration. Also, exchanges have begun to offer cross-border trading to facilitate overseas investment options for
investors. This not only increased the appeal of the exchange for investors but also attracts more volume.
Exchanges regularly solicit companies outside their home territory and encourage them to list on their exchange
and global competition has put pressure on corporations to seek capital outside their home country. The Indian
stock market is the world third largest stock market on the basis of investor base and has a collective pool of about
20 million investors. There are over 9,000 companies listed on the stock exchanges of the country. The Bombay
Stock Exchange, established in 1875, is the oldest in Asia. National Stock Exchange, a more recent establishment
which came into existence in 1992, is the largest and most advanced stock market in India is also the third biggest
stock exchange in Asia in terms of transactions. It is among the 5 biggest stock exchanges in the world in terms of
transactions volume. (Joshi) The following table gives the country and the exchange with the name of its indices.

Presently, the fluctuations in the Indian market are attributed heavily to cross border capital flows in the form of FDI,
FII and to reaction of Indian market to global market cues. In this context, understanding the relationship and
influence of various exchanges on each other is very important. This study compares global exchanges which are
from different geo politico- socio-economic areas. With the cross border movements of capital like never before in
the form of FDI and FII, coupled with the easing of restrictions bringing various stock exchanges at par in terms of
system and regulations, it can be assumed reasonably that a particular stock exchange will have some impact on
other exchanges. (Ghosh, 2004) Literature Review Poshakwale, Sunil (2002) examined the random walk hypothesis in the emerging Indian stock market by testing
for the nonlinear dependence using a large disaggregated daily data from the Indian stock market. He found that
the daily returns from the Indian market do not conform to a random walk. Daily returns from most individual stocks
and the equally weighted portfolio exhibit significant non-linear dependence. Noor, Azuddin Yakob, Diana Beal and Delpachitra, Sarath (2006 )studied the stock market seasonality in terms of day-of-the-week, month-of-the
year, monthly and holiday effects in ten Asian stock markets, namely, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, India,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. He concluded that the existence of seasonality in stock
markets and also suggested that this is a global phenomenon. Masih, M.M. Abul and Masih, Rumi (1997)
examined the dynamic linkage patterns among National stock exchange prices of four Asian newly industrializing
countries like Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong. They concluded that the study of these markets is
not mutually exclusive of each other and significant short run linkages appear to run among them. Harvey (1995) found that serial correlation in emerging market returns are much higher than observed in developed markets. He
argued that lack of diversification and trading depths in emerging markets are primarily responsible for such serial
correlation pattern. In a similar study by Bae, K, Cha, B, and Cheung, Y (1999) the researchers tried to show the
information transmission mechanism that operates for stocks which are dually listed. This has helped in
understanding the channel of transmission of information that makes the exchanges dependant on each other. Agarwal, R N (2000) examined the financial integration of capital markets in developing nations gave insight with
regards to the methodology and the area of study followed. Li et al. (2005) examined the relationship between
expected stock return and volatility based on parametric EGARCH- M model. They found a positive but insignificant
relationship between stock return and volatility. By using semi parametric specification of conditional variance, they
found a significant negative relationship between expected return and volatility in six out of 12 markets during January 1980 to December 2001. Mukherjee and Bose (2008) investigated the level of market integration of India
with the developed countries of US, Japan and five other Asia Pacific markets for the period between1999 to
2005.They found that Stock returns in India were led by major stock index returns in US, Japan, Hong Kong, South
Korea and Singapore. Pandey and Kumar (2008) found co movement of Indian markets with eight other key stock
www.indiastat.com October – November, 2016 3 socio - economic voices
exchanges in Asia for the period from 2000 to 2008.Theyfound that the period was marked with high volatility
among all markets under study. Kumar and Dhankar (2009) examine the cross correlations in stock returns of
India with Pakistan and Bangladesh for a period between 1997 and 2007. They tested the asymmetric volatility and
relationship of stock returns with expected and unexpected volatility. They found weak correlation between the
stock returns and significant relationship between stock returns and unexpected volatility, suggesting that investors
realize extra risk premium for taking advantage of unexpected variations in stock returns.
Research Methodology
a) Objectives of Study 1. To find out comparative Qualitative significant differences among all stock indices.
2. To find out an extent of interrelationship through Correlation among all the stock exchanges.
3. To do a comparative study of the trends and movements of various stock exchanges.
4. To do a comparative Risk and Return analysis of all stock exchanges.
b) Research Design
This kind of research type is used in which information is being collected without changing the environment
which means that nothing is manipulated. In the qualitative research analysis, data for 5 countries is being
considered including India, USA, Korea, Hong kong and Japan for the study. Whereas, for the quantitative
research analysis, data for 5 countries including India, USA, Korea, Hong kong and Russia is being taken into
consideration for the time period of 10 years i.e., from 1st Jan,2003 to 31st Dec,2013. To do the detailed
comparative analysis of Indian stock markets with international markets only secondary data is being used and
collected from the below mentioned sources i.e. websites , research journals newspaper etc.
c) Tools and Techniques
To study the impact of various stock exchanges following statistical tools are being used in order to depict the
relationships, trends and movements of the stock exchanges:
Correlation Analysis Exponential Trend Analysis Risk-Return Analysis
Result & Discussion

A) Qualitative Analysis- In this section the various stock exchanges have been compared on the following parameters;
1. Market Capitalization 2. Number of listed securities 3. Listing agreements 4. Circuit filters 5. Settlement
1- Market Capitalization- The table below shows the market capitalization of various stock markets in the world.

Table-2: Source: World Federation of Exchanges It can be observed America region is the emerged economy, in which NYSE is having the highest share among
other stock exchanges. NYSE Euronext is having a share of 30% to the world which is very dominating, followed by
NASDAQ OMX which is having around 10% market share in the world in terms of Market capitalization. It is
interesting to note that the total market capitalization of all the companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange is
greater than the amount of money in the United States in Asia Pacific region, Japan Stock Exchange is leading with
around 7.50% share among the world. Followed by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange ranging to around early 5%
share in the world, interestingly Asia’s oldest stock exchange, BSE is having only 1.91% market share and NSE is
1.86%.
2- Listed Securities-India has the highest number of companies listed in the stock market. Out of this, about 75%
of the companies are listed with the Bombay Stock Exchange. After India, United States has the highest number of
companies listed.

Table -9 4- CIRCUIT FILTERS -The study is restricted to the performance of the Indian Stock market, Japan, Hong Kong,
Korean, Russian and the New York Stock exchanges. Hence we will be concentrating on the Asian Financial Crisis,
Dot-Com Bubble, and the Russian Financial Crisis etc As a counter measure to the instability of the stock market,
various measures were introduced to avoid huge losses. One such solution is circuit breakers. When the stock
price breaches a stipulated price band as decided by stock exchanges, trading in that particular stock is
suspended. For example, if we have a share price of Rs 100, and there is a circuit breaker of 5%, it will stop trading
if the share price goes above Rs 105. Similarly, if the stock drops below Rs 95, the lower end circuit filter is applied
and trading is suspended.

Daily price bands of 2% (either way) Daily price bands of 5% (either way) Daily price bands of 10% (either way)
Bombay Stock Exchange: Market Wide Circuit Breakers:-The earlier Circuit Filters at individual scrip level used to restrict the movements of
indices as well. Now, there are no Circuit Filters on the scrips forming part of popular indices like SENSEX. In order
to contain huge price movements of index scrips, SEBI has mandated that Market Wide Circuit Breakers (MWCB)
www.indiastat.com October – November, 2016 13 socio - economic voices
which at 10-15-20% of the movements in either BSE SENSEX or NSE Nifty whichever is breached earlier would be
applicable. This would provide a cooling period to the market participants and to assimilate and re-act to the market
movements.
The trading halt on all stock exchanges would take place as under;
In case of a 10% movement in either index, there will be a 1-hour market halt if the movement takes place
before 1:00 p.m. In case the movement takes place at or after 1 p.m. but before 2:30 p.m., there will be a
trading halt for 1/2 hour. In case the movement takes place at or after 2:30 p.m., there will be no trading
halt at the 10% level and the market will continue trading.
In case of a 15% movement in either index, there will be a 2-hour market halt if the movement takes place
before 1:00 p.m. If the 15% trigger is reached on or after 1:00 p.m. but before 2 p.m., there will be a trading
halt for 1 hour. If the 15% trigger is reached on or after 2:00 p.m., the trading will halt for the remainder of
the day.
In case of a 20% movement in either index, the trading will halt for the remainder of the day.
The above percentage would be translated into absolute points of the Index variation on a quarterly basis. These
absolute points are revised at the end of each quarter. The Market Wide Circuit Breakers at a national level have
been introduced in the Indian markets for the first time. This is on the lines of the system prevailing in the US
markets.
Tokyo Stock Exchange: Criteria for Triggering a Circuit Breaker: In case when a buy (sell) order is placed to the central contract month at
the upper (lower) price limit (may be followed by the execution at this price), and there is no trade at other prices for
next 5 minutes.
Duration of a Temporary Trading Halt: All contract months will be halted for 10 minutes when the central contract month meets above criteria. Exceptions for Circuit Breakers in TSE:
1. Once Daily Price Limits is expanded to level 3, and meets the circuit breaker criteria again: Trading halt
and expanding daily price limits shall not be executed until the end of evening session.
2. In case where the above criteria are met within 20 minutes before the end of afternoon or evening session:
Trading halt and expanding daily price limits shall not be executed until the end of session.
www.indiastat.com October – November, 2016 14 socio - economic voices
3. In case where the above criteria are met within 10 minutes before the end of morning session: Trading halt
will continue until the end of morning session.
4. In addition to the above cases, in cases where TSE deems that, in consideration of the market conditions,
the state of trading is to be abnormal: Trading halt and expanding the daily price limits may be executed
regardless of the above circuit breaker criteria.
NYSE: In response to the market breaks in October 1987 and October 1989, the New York Stock Exchange
instituted circuit breakers to reduce volatility and promote investor confidence. By implementing a pause in trading,
investors are given time to assimilate incoming information and the ability to make informed choices during periods
of high market volatility. In 2012, in connection with its approval of the Regulation NMS Plan to Address
Extraordinary Market Volatility, commonly referred to as the Limit Up – Limit Down Plan, the SEC approved
amendments to Rule 80B (Trading Halts Due to Extraordinary Market Volatility) that revise the halt provisions and
circuit-breaker levels. Amended Rule 80B is operative during the pilot period of the Limit Up – Limit Down Plan.
Rule 80B: Effective April 8, 2013, amended Rule 80B will be in effect. Amended Rule 80B replaces:
The DJIA with the S&P 500 as the benchmark index for measuring a market decline; The quarterly calendar recalculation of Rule 80B triggers with daily recalculations; and The 10%, 20%, and 30% market decline percentages with 7%, 13%, and 20% market decline percentages.
Amended Rule 80B also modifies:
The length of the trading halts associated with each market decline level; and
The times when a trading halt may be triggered.
Specifically, the circuit-breaker halt for a Level 1 (7%) or Level 2 (13%) decline occurring after 9:30 a.m.
Eastern and up to and including 3:25 p.m. Eastern, or in the case of an early scheduled close, 12:25 p.m.
Eastern, would result in a trading halt in all stocks for 15 minutes. If the market declined by 20%, triggering
a Level 3 circuit-breaker, at any time, trading would be halted for the remainder of the day.
A Level 1 or Level 2 halt can only occur once per trading day. For example, if a Level 1 Market Decline was
to occur and trading was halted, following the reopening of trading, the NYSE would not halt the market
again unless a Level 2 Market Decline was to occur. Likewise, following the reopening of trading after a
Level 2 Market Decline, the NYSE would not halt trading again unless a Level 3 Market Decline were to
occur, at which point, trading in all stocks would be halted until the primary market opens the next trading
day.

KSE: Circuit Breakers in stock market:
Circuit breakers in stock market is a system that temporarily suspends all the trading in the market in order
to provide investors with time for calm judgment of investment if there arises a slump in stock price
resulting from the interior and exterior reasons of the market, and all the trading shall be suspended in case
KOSPI decreases continuously for 1 minute more than 10% of closing price of the very preceding day. And,
Circuit breakers might be announced in advance in case of 10% decrease of KOSPI.
Once circuit breakers are exercised, suspension is made for 20 minutes with regard to receipt of offer in the
market and to receipt of offer as well as trading in futures/option market linked with that of spots except
bond market. During suspension, however, it is not possible make a new offer but possible to cancel offer
submitted prior to suspension.
The KRX resumes trading 20 minutes after issue of circuit breakers. The first price shall be formed in single
price for 10 minutes from the resumption and then crowd trading shall be applied to.
It has been exerted 3 times (2000.4/17/2000, 9/18/2000, and 9/12/2001) since its introduction in December 1998. Daily price limits:
Daily Price Limit is upper and lower bound to which the price of each issues can move on a certain day.
Thus, any investors or member firms cannot place orders or quotations that exceed the upper or lower
price limits.
Current price limit in the KOSPI market is 15% for stocks (equities), KDRs, and ETFs. On each day 15%
shall be multiplied to the base price of the issue and such amount shall be added to the base price for an
upper price limit and subtracted from the base price for a lower price limit.
HKSE: Earlier, a two-tier circuit-breaker is being considered, under which trading would stop for half an hour in the
event of a 15% fluctuation over the previous day’s close, and for one hour in the event of a 25% fluctuation.
Another option being considered is an individual circuit-breaker per stock, which would cause a ten minute open-
outcry auction to be initiated every time a stock price varied more than 10% over last day’s close.
5- Trading and Settlement Cycle This segment takes care of the efficiency issue of the said stock exchange. It
basically looks into the speed at which any of the numerous transactions affected in the market gets settled. This is
especially crucial given the volume. We see that Indian exchanges are at par with the best in the world when it
comes to efficient settlement. It can even go one up if the proposed ‘T+1’system is put in place.

Table -12 B) Quantitative Analysis The research that the exchanges impact each other has been studied through various
Statistical methods with data on price, returns collected from the exchanges. The following methods have been used for the quantitative analysis to validate the research study: 1. Correlation analysis 2. Exponential trend analysis 3. Risk-return analysis
1-Correlation Analysis
A) NSE v/s Russian Stock Exchange
Graph -1, When we see the above graph, we can understand that NSE is very volatile compared to MICEX. There are many ups and downs for NSE, but MICEX sees like narrow range. For NSE the major drop started in 2008, it’s mainly because there is a recession going on all over the world. MICEX is little stable compared to NSE. But, later by 2010, NSE regained its strength and started booming. There are few dips in NSE price movements but, it’s just because of corrections. We can conclude that MICEX is less volatile and NSE is highly volatile.

A) NSE v/s Hongkong
Graph -2, From the above table it’s very evident that the Hang Seng price movements were very hugely volatile because of recessionary period all over the world in 2007 and 2009 period. HKSE’s price performance is very volatile compared to the NSE, We can say that NSE Index prices were better stable than the HKSE index. We can conclude that there is no correlation between these two stock exchanges at all.
A) NSE v/s NYSE

As USA is technologically advanced and world leaders its index prices were also quoted at high levels. NSE was rising with the NYSE because India had benefited much from the tech boom in the years along with the NYSE. The high dependence of India on the US in trade was reflected by the two stock exchanges.
A) NSE v/s Korean Stock Exchange
Graph -4 From the above graph, we can see the more volatility level in the NSE index because of recessionary conditions. KSE Index was merely very stable. NSE index has given more returns with high risk. But, KSE has given moderate returns with low risk compared to the NSE.

In the above figures, it can be seen that NSE seemed to follow the exponential trend quite reasonably before the
technology boom had hit the Indian stock market in the year 2003. After that NSE has much larger rise which could
not be captured in the exponential trend. Russian stock exchange has also been explained by the exponential trend
method quite reasonably before year 2003. Exponential trend has been able to capture the trend quite well the
changes in NYSE. R-square value is around 0.196. This shows that the model is able to explain around 20% of the
variations of the index. For, both the stock exchanges of Korea and Honk Kong have shown very high volatility over
this period and have risen consistently enough. Thus exponential trend line is able to explain the price behavior of
these exchanges satisfactorily. The R-square values are significantly very high when compared to NYSE i.e. 0.563
and 0.758 for Korean and Hang Sang respectively.

From the return perspective, except Korean Stock Exchange all other exchanges seem to be stable as there are
three years all together when KSE has given the negative returns, i.e. in the years 2008, 2011 and 2013. Russian
stock exchange is the most volatile of all these and has given returns from 35% to -7%. NSE seems to have
followed or moved in tandem with the NYSE more after year 2003. Hang Seng exchange follows long cycles. If
returns turn negative, they remain negative for two or three years. Similarly if return turns positive, then they remain
so again for two or more years, Russian stock exchange has shown the least variation and hence appears to be
least risky. But actually there is very less trading in the Russian stock market during the period of 2003-2013 due to
stagnation and political instability and uncertainties about economy. Korean stock market is also very stable form
the standard deviation angle. But this market has also not much appreciated over these years and it remains more
or less range- bound. Hang Seng has shown the highest volatility as it is a much traded stock exchange. Also, the
events like Sub-Prime crisis have also affected the volatility of the exchanges. But, nevertheless, the volatility has
reduced in the recent years than it has in the past period. Yet, it is more volatile than the other stock exchanges
that we have compared. NYSE is a mature and most stable market of all these.
Conclusion and Recommendations
The study brings forth some distinct conclusions many of which validate popular beliefs. The objective of the whole
research was to try and compare the various stock exchanges based on certain parameters in order to understand
the impact of integration of the financial world on the various entities within it especially in the context of
globalization and increased interest in the capital markets fuelled by surging growth. Qualitatively, the comparison
showed that Indian stock exchange has the governance system and an efficient mechanism in place to be a world
class institute, specially the requirements of Clause 49 promulgated by SEBI and the advanced trading and
settlement mechanism of NSE, respectively. However, unfortunately our implementation of the same remains a
problem area with almost 15-20% of the listed companies yet to align their operations as required under the law.
However, Indian stock market is very much at the same pedestal and, in fact, better than most of its Asian
counterparts especially the emerging economies. Indian system enjoys creditability even when compared with a
stock exchange like Nikkei (Japan). If we look at the efficiency of trading captured by the ‘trading and settlement’
mechanism, then we have found that the Indian mechanism is faster than the NYSE and at par with the best in the
world. In fact, it is one of the fastest. The markets have indeed started to integrate and Indian market is no
exception especially after 2003-04. The regulatory authorities must remove any ambiguity that may be existing
when compared to the regulations of other exchanges before they can actually make the grade. Lastly, although it
has to be accepted that the market is evolving but the Indian system has already attained the minimum level of
robustness and efficiency to be counted among the best in the world and stand equipped to attain higher
sophistication as well as heightened activities. As for the existence of any signals or patterns among the stock
www.indiastat.com October – November, 2016 23 socio - economic voices
exchanges, it can safely be said that the markets do react to global cues and any happening in the global scenario
be it macroeconomic or country specific (foreign trade channel) affect the various markets.
