Introduction
Globalization and financial liberalization in India have brought about battery of changes inthe financial functioning of the economy, as a result of which, the resultant gain of the
global integration of domestic and foreign financial markets has thrown open new
opportunities but at the same time exposed the financial system to significant risks.
Consequently, it is important to understand the mutual relationship between the financial
markets from the standpoint of financial stability. Though the inception of the financial
sector reforms has taken place initiated in the beginning of the 1990s, particularly since
1997, there has been a dramatic change in the functioning of the financial sector of the
economy.
The recent emergence of new capital markets, the relaxation of foreign capital controls and
the adoption of more flexible exchange rate regimes have increased the interest of
academics and practitioners in studying the interactions between the stock and foreign
exchange markets. The gradual abolition of foreign exchange controls in emerging
economies like India has opened the possibility of international investment and portfolio
diversification. At the same time, the adoption of more flexible exchange rate regimes by
these countries in the late 1980s and early 1990s has increased the volatility of foreign
exchange markets and the risk associated with such investments.
The advent of floating exchange rates, opening up of current account, Liberalization of
capital account, reduction of customs duties, the development of 24-hour screen based
global trading, the increased use of national currencies outside the country of issue and
innovations in internationally traded financial products have led to the cross Country
linkages of capital markets and international integration of domestic economy.
Altogether, the whole gamut of institutional reforms, introduction of new instruments,
change in procedures, widening of network of participants, call for a reexamination of the
relationship between the stock market and the foreign sector of India.

The process of economic liberalization and thrust on reforms in the financial sector and the
foreign exchange market in particular that was initiated in India in early nineties has
resulted into increasing integration of the Indian FX market with that of the global markets.
With a large number of foreign funds and foreign institutional investors now actively
participating in the Indian financial markets (foreign exchange reserves standing at about
USD118 bn), the style of functioning of the market itself has undergone a lot of change and
result of microstructure changes are visible. Today the Indian FX market, which was
insulated from outside impacts, has been getting integrated with the world markets.
An exchange rate has two effects on stock prices, a direct effect through Multi National
Firms and an indirect effect through domestic firms. In case of Multi National Firms
involved in exports, a change in rate will change the demand of its product in the
international market, which ultimately reflects in its B/S as profit or loss. Once the profit or
loss is declared, the stock price will also change for a domestic firm.
On the other hand, currency devaluation could either raise or decrease a firms stock prices.
This depends on the nature of the firms operations. A domestic firm that exports part of its
output will benefit directly from devaluation due to an increase in demand for its output. As
higher sales result in higher profits, local currency devaluation will cause firm stock price
to rise in general.
On the other hand, if the firm is a user of imported inputs, currency devaluation will raise
cost and lower profits. Thus, it will decrease the firms stock price.
Scope of the study
3
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
4/72
The study includes only one currency pair i.e. INR/USD for the representation of the forex
market while the two major stock markets of India are covered. Thus the relation and
effects of other currencies is out of the preview of the research. The data set comprises of
daily closing price of Sensex, Nifty and INR/USD exchange rates obtained from the
respective Stock Exchange and Reserve Bank of India websites. The sample population of
the study comprises of daily closing price, for of BSE Sensex, CNX Nifty and exchange
rates of Rupee/Dollar are considered for analyzing.
Benefits
The determination of relationship between the foreign exchange market and stock market
would help the students to increase their understanding about these markets. It would also
provide a platform for participants to enhance their views about the relationship between
the two markets.
Limitations
Unavailability of intra-day minute to minute data of both the markets.
The study is limited to period of eight years.
Only one pair of USD/INR is used.
3.) Foreign Exchange Market:
The foreign exchange market exists wherever one currency is traded for another. It is by far
the largest market in the world, in terms of cash value traded, and includes trading between
large banks, central banks, currency speculators, multinational corporations, governments,
and other financial markets and institutions. The trade happening in the forex markets
across the globe currently exceeds US$1.9 trillion/day (on average). Retail traders
(individuals) are currently a very small part of this market and may only participate
indirectly through brokers or banks.

7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
5/72
The foreign exchange market provides the physical and institutional structure through
which the money of one country is exchanged for that of another country, the rate of
exchange between currencies is determined, and foreign exchange transactions are
physically completed.
The retail market for foreign exchange deals with transactions involving travelers and
tourists exchanging one currency for another in the form of currency notes or travelers
cheques. The wholesale market often referred to as the interbank market is entirely
different and the participants in this market are commercial banks, corporations and central
banks.
Currency Exchange Rate:
The Exchange rate or FX rate is the rate between two currencies specifies how much one
currency is worth in terms of the other. For example an exchange rate of 33 Indian Rupees
(IND, Rs.) to the United States Dollar (USD, $) means that IND 33 is worth the same as
USD 1. The foreign exchange market is one of the largest markets in the world. By some
estimates, about 2 trillion USD worth of currency changes hands every day.
The Spot exchange rate refers to the current exchange rate. The forward exchange rate
refers to an exchange rate that is quoted and traded today but for delivery and payment on a
specific future date.
Quotations
An exchange rate quotation is given by stating the number of units of a pricecurrency that
can be bought in terms of 1 unit currency (also called base currency). Ina quotation that
says the JPN/USD exchange rate is 120 (USD per JPN), the price currency is USD and the
unit currency is JPN.

7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
6/72
Quotes
Direct quote is a quote using a countrys home currency as the price currency (e.g.,Rs.33=
$ 1 in India) and is used by most countries.
Indirect quote is a quote using a countrys home currency as the unit currency (e.g, $ 0.03
= Rs. 1 in India) and is used in British newspapers and are also common in Australia, New
Zealand and Canada.
Appreciation/depreciation of currency:
While using direct quotation, if the home currency is strengthening (i.e., appreciating, or
becoming more valuable) then the exchange rate number decreases. Conversely if the
foreign currency is strengthening, the exchange rate number increases and the home
currency is depreciating.
Exchange rate regime:
The exchange rate regime is the way a country manages its currency in respect to foreign
currencies and the foreign exchange market. It is closely related to monetary policy and the
two are generally dependent.
A floating exchange rate or a flexible exchange rate is a type of exchange rate regime
wherein a currencys value is allowed to fluctuate according to the foreign exchange
market. A currency that uses a floating exchange rate is known as a floating currency.
A pegged float is pegged to some band or value, either fixed or periodically adjusted.
Pegged floats are Crawling bands, Crawling pegs and Pegged with horizontal bands.
Afixed rate is that rate that has direct convertibility towards another currency. Here, thecurrency is backed one to one by foreign reserves.

Functions of foreign exchange market:
The foreign exchange market is the mechanism by which participants
Transfer purchasing power between countries,
Obtain or provide credit for international trade transactions, and
Minimize exposure to the risks of exchange rate changes
Foreign Exchange Market participants:
The foreign exchange market consists of two tiers:
the interbank or wholesale market and
The client or retail market.
Five broad categories of participants operate within these two tiers:
Bank and nonblank foreign exchange dealers:
Banks and a few nonblank foreign exchange dealers operate in both the interbank and clientmarkets. They profit from buying foreign exchange at a bid price and reselling it at a
slightly higher ask price. Dealers in the foreign exchange departments of large
international banks often function as market makers.
Currency trading is quite profitable for commercial and investment banks. Small to medium
sized banks are likely to participate but not as market makers in the interbank market.
Instead of maintaining significant inventory positions, they buy from and sell to large banks
to offset retail transactions with their own customers.
Individuals and firms conducting commercial or investment Transactions:
7
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
8/72
Importers and exporters, international portfolio investors, Multi National Enterprises,
tourists, and others use the foreign exchange market to facilitate execution of commercial
or investment transactions. Some of these participants use the market to hedge foreign
exchange risk.
Speculators and arbitragers:
Speculators and arbitragers seek to profit from trading in the market itself. They operate in
their own interest, without a need or obligation to serve clients or to ensure a continuous
market. A large proportion of speculation and arbitrage is conducted on behalf of major
banks by traders employed by those banks. Thus banks act both as exchange dealers and as
speculators and arbitrages.
Central banks and treasuries:
Central bank and treasuries use the market to acquire or spend their countrys foreign
exchange reserves as well as to influence the price at which their own currency is traded.
They may act to support the value of their own currency because of policies adopted at the
national level or because of commitments entered into through membership in joint float
agreements.
Foreign exchange brokers:
Foreign exchange brokers are agents who facilitate trading between dealers. Brokers charge
small commission for the service provided to dealers. They maintain instant access to
hundreds of dealers world wide via open telephone lines.
Foreign exchange transactions
Transactions within the foreign exchange market are executed either on a spot basis,
requiring settlement two days after the transaction, or on a forwardorswap basis,which
requires settlement at some designated future date.
To be successful in the foreign exchange markets, one has to anticipate price changes by
keeping a close eye on world events and currency fluctuations.

Global foreign exchange market turnover:
According to the Bank for International Settlements, average daily turnover in global
foreign exchange markets is estimated at $3.98 trillion as of April 2007. Trading in the
worlds main financial markets accounted for $3.21 trillion of this. This approximately
$3.21 trillion in main foreign exchange market turnover was broken down as follows:
Components are:
$621 billion in spot
$1.26 trillion in derivatives
$208 billion in outright forwards
$944 billion in forex swaps
$107 billion in FX options
Of the $3.98 trillion daily global turnover, trading in London accounted for around $1.36
trillion, or 34.1% of the total, making London by far the global center for foreign exchange.
In second and third places respectively, trading in New York accounted for 16.6%, andTokyo accounted for 6.0%.[4] In addition to traditional turnover, $2.1 trillion was traded
in derivatives.
Exchange-traded FX futures contracts were introduced in 1972 at the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange and are actively traded relative to most other futures contracts.
Several other developed countries also permit the trading of FX derivative products (like
currency futures and options on currency futures) on their exchanges. All these developed
countries already have fully convertible capital accounts. Most emerging countries do not
permit FX derivative products on their exchanges in view of prevalent controls on the
capital accounts. However, a few select emerging countries (e.g., Korea, South Africa, and
India) have already successfully experimented with the currency futures exchanges, despite
having some controls on the capital account.

India foreign exchange reserve is at $ 278.7 Billion USD (Feb 5, 2010)
NSE has witnessed healthy growth in the turnover and open interest positions during its
first completed month of currency futures trading in India. NSE commenced currency
futures trading in India on 29th August.
CDX (Currency Derivative Exchange), currency derivative segment of BSE (Bombay
Stock Exchange) commenced currency futures trading from 1st October. BSE on its very
first day of trading in currency futures clocked a turn over of about 65,000 contracts, which
is approximately Rs. 300 Crores.
With ever-growing global financial crisis, exchange rates are fluctuating widely. INR
exchange rate has touched 47 against USD. Currency futures trading in India has generatedhuge interest among Indian retail investors and traders. There is a strong demand for
information gathering about the intricacies of currency futures from small investors and
enterprises.
After over a year of introduction of exchange-traded currency futures in the USD-INR pair
on the stock exchanges in the country, the market regulators have now permitted trading of
Euro-INR, Japanese Yen-INR and Pound Sterling-INR on the exchange platform. This is a
move that the market had been demanding for a long time. This is an apt time to review
how the exchange-traded currency market has fared so far and what lies ahead as it
ventures further into new currency pairs.
The currency derivatives segment on the NSE and MCX has witnessed consistent growth
both in traded value and open interest since its inception. The total turnover in the segment
has increased incredibly from $3.4bn in October 2008 to $84bn in December 2009. The
average daily turnover reached $4bn in December 2009. Open interest in the segment on
the NSE and MCX stood at around 4 lakh contracts till end-December 2009.
India already has an active over-the-counter (OTC) market in currency derivatives where
the average daily turnover was $29bn in 2008 and $21bn in 2009 (till September 2009).
This market is being driven by its ability to meet the respective needs of participants. For
example, it is used by importers/exporters to hedge their payables/receivables; foreign
18
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
19/72
institutional investors (FIIs) and NRIs use it to hedge their investments in India; borrowers
find it an effective way to hedge their foreign currency loans and resident Indians find it an
effective tool to hedge their investments offshore. Further, for arbitrageurs it presents an
opportunity to arbitrage between onshore and non-deliverable forward (NDF) markets.
The exchange-traded currency futures market is an extension of this already available OTC
market, but with added benefits of greater accessibility to potential participants; high price
transparency; high liquidity; standardised contracts; counterparty risk management through
clearing corporation and no requirement of underlying exposure in the currency. As the
market participants are realising these benefits of exchange-traded market in currency, they
are choosing this market over OTC.
However, it is too early to see a major shift in activity from OTC to exchange-traded
market as it has created a niche for itself and it would perhaps take some time for the
currency futures market to create one for itself. Globally, too, the foreign exchange market
is largely OTC in character. While the notional amount outstanding of OTC derivatives was
as high as $63trn in June 2008, the exchange-traded market is rather non-existent with
notional amount outstanding as end-June 2009 being only 0.5% of that in the OTC
segment.
19
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
20/72
However, there is a renewed debate on the level of transparency and counterparty risk in
the OTC market kindled by the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the US and the need to
regulate OTC transactions effectively. This throws up certain important issues which, at
best, may need to be handled separately.
India has, in this light, embarked upon an experiment by attempting to make the exchange-
traded currency market popular and a first choice for investors. Though the market has not
been able to evince the kind of activity that the OTC market has witnessed as yet, the recent
phenomenal growth is a pointer towards better days ahead for this market. Some of the
issues plaguing the market at present include the fact that many corporates using currency
derivatives for hedging their foreign currency exposure find the requirement of margin and
settlement of daily mark-to-market differences cumbersome, especially since there is no
such requirement for OTC trades. It would conceivably take some time for them to realise
the concomitant benefits of these risk containment measures. Also, there is a perceived
resistance to change and switchover from OTC to exchange-traded framework following a
level of comfortability reached by market players with the OTC market framework.
Further, the market has been restricted in a number of ways. Till recently only USD-INR
futures contracts were permitted. One hopes to see more activity in the segment with more
currency pairs being added. Also to start with, FIIs have not been permitted to participate inthis market. This has in effect restricted the liquidity that FIIs could have otherwise created.
FIIs are already active in Dubai Gold and Commodity Exchange (DGCX). There is an
opportunity for business for domestic exchanges and intermediaries to be created in
bringing this market onshore. According to the latest release from DGCX, Indian rupee
futures volume rose 530% in 2009 to 66,346 contracts on the exchange. Volume in
December 2009 was 346% higher compared with the same period last year. Though small
in comparison to volumes being traded on Indian exchanges, there is still merit in getting
this market onshore. Additionally, the offshore NDF market in Indian rupee has also been
witnessing increasing volumes. The average daily volumes on the NDF rupee market have
increased from $38mn in 2003 Q1 to $800mn during 2008-09 (Asian Capital Markets
Monitor of ADB, April, 2009). Most of the major foreign banks offer NDFs, but Indian
banks are barred from doing so. These markets have evolved for the Indian rupee following
20
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh

foreign exchange convertibility restrictions. It is serving as an avenue for non-domestic
players, private companies and investors in India to hedge foreign currency exposure. It
also derives liquidity from non-residents wishing to speculate in the Indian rupee without
exposure to the currency and from arbitrageurs who try to exploit the differentials in the
prices in the onshore and offshore markets. Though foreign investors can now transact in
the onshore Indian forward markets with greater flexibility following various measures
taken by RBI in recent years, allowing them access to the exchange-traded currency futures
platform would further help in getting the volumes in the NDF market onshore and enhance
liquidity on domestic exchanges.
India has witnessed enhanced foreign investment inflows and trade flows in recent years.
The Indian currency is now becoming an important international currency. Though India
accounts for a very small proportion of the total foreign exchange market turnover in the
world as compared to other countries, its share has been slowly but continuously
increasing. According to BIS estimates, the percentage share of Indian rupee in total daily
average foreign exchange turnover has increased from 0.1% in 1998 to 0.2% in 2001 to
0.3% in 2004 and to 0.9% in April 2007 (updated data will be available in April 2010). All
of this implies greater need for hedging currency risk in Indian rupee, particularly given
that the exchange rate has been quite volatile during the last few years and hence increased
importance of exchange-traded currency market.

5.) Stock Market:
A stock market is a market for the trading of company stock and derivatives of
same; both of these are securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded
privately.

India has 22 stock exchanges and the important stock exchanges are Bombay Stock
Exchange and National Stock exchange at Mumbai. Established in 1875 BSE is one of the
oldest stock exchanges in Asia and has seen significant development ever since.
The regulatory agency which oversees the functioning of stock markets is the Securities
and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which is also located in Bombay.
Classification of financial markets
i) Unorganized Markets
In these markets there a number of money lenders, indigenous bankers, traders etc. who
lend money to the public.
ii) Organized Market
In organized markets, there are standardized rules and regulations governing their financial
dealings. There is also a high degree of institutionalization and instrumentalization. These
markets are subject to strict supervision and control by the RBI or other regulatory bodies.
Organized markets can be further divided into capital market and Money market.
Capital market
Capital market is a market for financial assets which have a long or definite maturity.
24
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
25/72
Which can be further divided into
Industrial Securities Market
Government Securities Market
Long Term Loans Market
Industrial Securities Market
It is a market where industrial concerns raise their capital or debt by issuing appropriate
Instruments. It can be subdivided into two. They are:
Primary Market or New Issues Market
Primary market is a market for new issues or new financial claims. Hence, it is also called
as New Issues Market. The primary market deals with those securities which are issued to
the public for the first time.
Secondary Market or Stock Exchange
Secondary market is a market for secondary sale of securities. In other words, securities
which have already passed through the new issues market are traded in this market.
Such securities are listed in stock exchange and it provides a continuous and regular market
for buying and selling of securities. This market consists of all stock exchanges recognized
by the government of India.
Importance of Capital Market
25
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
26/72
Absence of capital market serves as a deterrent factor to capital formation and economic
growth. Resources would remain idle if finances are not funneled through capital market.
It provides incentives to saving and facilitates capital formation by offering suitable
rates of interest as the price of the capital
It serves as an important source for the productive use of the economys savings.
It provides avenue for investors to invest in financial assets.
It facilitates increase in production and productivity in the economy and thus
enhances the economic welfare of the society.
A healthy market consisting of expert intermediaries promotes stability in the value
of securities representing capital funds.
It serves as an important source for technological up gradation in the industrial
sector by utilizing the funds invested by the public.
The major stock indices also have a correlation with the currency rates. Three majorforces
affect the indices:
1) Corporate earnings, forecast and actual;
2) Interest rate expectations and
3) Global considerations.
Consequently, these factors channel their way through the local currency.
In an increasingly complex scenario of the financial world, it is of paramount importance
for the researchers, practitioners, market players and policy makers to understand the
working of the economic and the financial system and assimilate the mutual interlink ages
between the stock and foreign exchange markets in forming their expectations about the
26
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
27/72
future policy and financial variables. The analysis of dynamic and strategic interactions
between stock and foreign exchange market came to the forefront because these two
markets are the most sensitive segments of the financial system and are considered as the
barometers of the economic growth through which the countrys exposure towards the
outer world is most readily felt.
The present study is an endeavor in this direction. Before going to discuss further about the
interlink ages between the stock and foreign exchange market, it is better to highlight the
evolutions and perspectives that are associated with both the markets since liberalization in
the Indian context.
In the literature, there is theoretical consensus neither on the existence of relationship
between stock prices and exchange rates nor on the direction of relationship. In theory there
are two approaches to exchange rate determination. They are-
Flow oriented -are considered as the traditional approach and assume that the exchange
rate is determined largely by countrys current account or trade balance performance. The
model posits that changes in exchange rates affect international competitiveness and trade
balance, thereby influencing real economic variables such as real income and output
(Dornbusch and Fisher, 1980). This model represents a positive relationship between stock
prices and exchange rates with direction of causation running from exchange rates to stock
prices.
Stock-oriented - models put much emphasis on the role of financial (formerly capital)
account in the exchange rate determination. These Models can be distinguished as portfolio
balance models and monetary models (Branson and Frankel, 1983). They postulate a
negative relationship between stock prices and exchange rates and come to the conclusion
that stock prices have an impact on exchange rates.

Introduction
Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange in Asia with a rich heritage of over
133 years of existence. What is now popularly known as BSE was established as The
Native Share & Stock Brokers Association in 1875.
BSE is the first stock exchange in the country which obtained permanent recognition (in
1956) from the Government of India under the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act
(SCRA) 1956. BSEs pivotal and pre-eminent role in the development of the Indian capital
market is widely recognized. It migrated from the open out-cry system to an online screen-
based order driven trading system in 1995. Earlier an Association Of Persons (AOP), BSE
is now a corporatised and demutualised entity incorporated under the provisions of the
Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to the BSE (Corporatisation and Demutualisation) Scheme,
2005 notified by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). With demutualisation,
BSE has two of worlds prominent exchanges, Deutsche Brse and Singapore Exchange, as
its strategic partners.
Over the past 133 years, BSE has facilitated the growth of the Indian corporate sector by
providing it with cost and time efficient access to resources. There is perhaps no major

SENSEX is constructed on a free-float methodology, and is sensitive to market
movements and market realities. Apart from the SENSEX, BSE offers 23 indices, including
13 sectoral indices. It has entered into an index cooperation agreement with Deutsche Brse
and Singapore Stock Exchange. These agreements have made SENSEX and other BSE
indices available to investors across the globe. Moreover, Barclays Global Investors (BGI),
atHong Kong, the global leader in ETFs through its iShares brand, has created the
exchange traded fund (ETF) called iSharesBSE SENSEX India Tracker which tracks the
SENSEX. The ETF enables investors in Hong Kong to take an exposure to the Indian
equity market.
The exchange traded funds (ETF) on SENSEX, called SPIcE and Kotak SENSEX ETF
are listed on BSE. They bring to the investors a trading tool that can be easily used for the
purposes of investment, trading, hedging and arbitrage. These ETFs allow small investors
to take a long-term view of the market.
BSE provides an efficient and transparent market for trading in equity, debt instruments
and derivatives. It has always been at par with the international standards. The systems and
processes are designed to safeguard market integrity and enhance transparency in
operations. BSE is the first exchange in India and the second in the world to obtain an ISO
9001:2000 certification. It is also the first exchange in the country and second in the world
to receive Information Security Management System Standard BS 7799-2-2002
certification for its BSE On-line Trading System (BOLT).
Recently,BSE launched the BSE IPO index that will track the value of companies for two
years after listing. Also, as an investor friendly gesture, Bombay Stock Exchange has
commenced a facility of sending trade details to investors. Moving a step further a new
transaction fee structure for cash equity segment has also been introduced. BSE also
launched BSE StAR MF Mutual fund trading platform, would enable exchanges
members to use its existing infrastructure for transaction in MF schemes. It is an inclusive

Galaxy, and Members.
SENSEX - The Barometer of Indian Capital Markets
Introduction
SENSEX, first compiled in 1986, was calculated on a Market Capitalization-Weighted
methodology of 30 component stocks representing large, well-established and financially
sound companies across key sectors. The base year of SENSEX was taken as 1978-79.
SENSEX today is widely reported in both domestic and international markets through print
as well as electronic media. It is scientifically designed and is based on globally accepted
construction and review methodology. Since September 1, 2003, SENSEX is being
calculated on a free-float market capitalization methodology. The free-float market
capitalization-weighted methodology is a widely followed index construction
methodology on which majority of global equity indices are based; all major index
providers like MSCI, FTSE, STOXX, S&P and Dow Jones use the free-float methodology.
The growth of the equity market in India has been phenomenal in the present decade. Right
from early nineties, the stock market witnessed heightened activity in terms of various bull
and bear runs. In the late nineties, the Indian market witnessed a huge frenzy in the TMT
sectors. More recently, real estate caught the fancy of the investors. SENSEX has captured
all these happenings in the most judicious manner. One can identify the booms and busts of
the Indian equity market through SENSEX. As the oldest index in the country, it provides
the time series data over a fairly long period of time (from 1979 onwards). Small wonder,
the SENSEX has become one of the most prominent brands in the country.

SENSEX Calculation Methodology
31
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
32/72
SENSEX is calculated using the Free-float Market Capitalization methodology, wherein,
the level of index at any point of time reflects the free-float market value of 30 component
stocks relative to a base period. The market capitalization of a company is determined by
multiplying the price of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company. This
market capitalization is further multiplied by the free-float factor to determine the free-float
market capitalization.
The base period of SENSEX is 1978-79 and the base value is 100 index points. This is
often indicated by the notation 1978-79=100. The calculation of SENSEX involves
dividing the free-float market capitalization of 30 companies in the Index by a number
called the Index Divisor. The Divisor is the only link to the original base period value of
the SENSEX. It keeps the Index comparable over time and is the adjustment point for all
Index adjustments arising out of corporate actions, replacement of scrips etc. During
market hours, prices of the index scrips, at which latest trades are executed, are used by the
trading system to calculate SENSEX on a continuous basis.
SENSEX - Scrip Selection Criteria
The general guidelines for selection of constituents in SENSEX are as follows:
Listed History: The scrip should have a listing history of at least 3 months at BSE.
Exception may be considered if full market capitalization of a newly listed company ranks
among top 10 in the list of BSE universe. In case, a company is listed on account of
merger/ demerger/ amalgamation, minimum listing history would not be required.
Trading Frequency: The scrip should have been traded on each and every trading day in
the last three months at BSE. Exceptions can be made for extreme reasons like scrip
suspension etc.
Final Rank: The scrip should figure in the top 100 companies listed by final rank. The
final rank is arrived at by assigning 75% weight age to the rank on the basis of three-month
average full market capitalization and 25% weight age to the liquidity rank based on three-
32
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
33/72
month average daily turnover & three-month average impact cost.
Market Capitalization Weightage: The weight age of each scrip in SENSEX based on
three-month average free-float market capitalization should be at least 0.5% of the Index.
Industry/Sector Representation: Scrip selection would generally take into account a
balanced representation of the listed companies in the universe of BSE.
Track Record: In the opinion of the BSE Index Committee, the company should have an
acceptable track record.
BSE has designed a Free-float format, which is filled and submitted by all index companies
on a quarterly basis. BSE determines the Free-float factor for each company based on the
detailed information submitted by the companies in the prescribed format. Free-float factor
is a multiple with which the total market capitalization of a company is adjusted to arrive at
the Free-float market capitalization. Once the Free-float of a company is determined, it is
rounded-off to the higher multiple of 5 and each company is categorized into one of the 20
bands given below. A Free-float factor of say 0.55 means that only 55% of the market
capitalization of the company will be considered for index calculation.
Index Closure Algorithm
The closing SENSEX on any trading day is computed taking the weighted average of all
the trades on SENSEX constituents in the last 30 minutes of trading session. If a SENSEX
constituent has not traded in the last 30 minutes, the last traded price is taken forcomputation of the Index closure. If a SENSEX constituent has not traded at all in a day,
then its last days closing price is taken for computation of Index closure. The use of Index
Closure Algorithm prevents any intentional manipulation of the closing index value.
Maintenance of SENSEX
33
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
34/72
One of the important aspects of maintaining continuity with the past is to update the base
year average. The base year value adjustment ensures that replacement of stocks in Index,
additional issue of capital and other corporate announcements like rights issue etc. do not
destroy the historical value of the index. The beauty of maintenance lies in the fact that
adjustments for corporate actions in the Index should not per se affect the index values.
The BSE Index Cell does the day-to-day maintenance of the index within the broad index
policy framework set by the BSE Index Committee. The BSE Index Cell ensures that
SENSEX and all the other BSE indices maintain their benchmark properties by striking a
delicate balance between frequent replacements in index and maintaining its historical
continuity. The BSE Index Committee comprises of capital market expert, fund managers,
market participants and members of the BSE Governing Board.
On-Line Computation of the Index
During trading hours, value of the Index is calculated and disseminated on real time basis.
This is done automatically on the basis of prices at which trades in Index constituents are
executed.
Index Review Frequency
The BSE Index Committee meets every quarter to discuss index related issues. In case of a
revision in the Index constituents, the announcement of the incoming and outgoing scrips is
made six weeks in advance of the actual implementation of the revision of the Index.

NSE - NIFTY
The Organization
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has genesis in the report of the High
Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges. It recommended
promotion of a National Stock Exchange by financial institutions (FIs) to provide access to
investors from all across the country on an equal footing. Based on the recommendations,
NSE was promoted by leading Financial Institutions at the behest of the Government of
India and was incorporated in November 1992 as a tax-paying company unlike other stock
exchanges in the country.
The following years witnessed rapid development of Indian capital market with
introduction of internet trading, Exchange traded funds (ETF), stock derivatives and the
first volatility index - IndiaVIX in April 2008, by NSE.
August 2008 saw introduction of Currency derivatives in India with the launch of Currency
Futures in USD INR by NSE. Interest Rate Futures was introduced for the first time in
India by NSE on 31st August 2009, exactly after one year of the launch of Currency
Futures.
With this, now both the retail and institutional investors can participate in equities, equity
derivatives, currency and interest rate derivatives, giving them wide range of products to
take care of their evolving needs.
NSEs mission is setting the agenda for change in the securities markets in India. The NSE
was set-up with the main objectives of:
35
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
36/72
establishing a nation-wide trading facility for equities, debt instruments and
hybrids,
ensuring equal access to investors all over the country through an appropriate
communication network,
providing a fair, efficient and transparent securities market to investors using
electronic trading systems,
enabling shorter settlement cycles and book entry settlements systems, and
meeting the current international standards of securities markets.
The standards set by NSE in terms of market practices and technology have become
industry benchmarks and are being emulated by other market participants. NSE is more
than a mere market facilitator. Its that force which is guiding the industry towards new
horizons and greater opportunities.

Tests and Results
Test for Stationarity-
A time series is said to be stationary if its mean and variance are constant over time and the
value of the covariance between the two time periods depends only on the distance or gap
or lag between the two time periods and not the actual time at which the covariance is
computed. Tests for stationarity are routinely applied to highly persistent time series.
Following Kwiatkowski, Phillips, Schmidt and Shin (1992), standard stationarity employs a
rescaling by an estimator of the long-run variance of the (potentially) stationary series. Test
39
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
40/72
for stationarity is important in case of time series data because a nonstationary time series
will have time varying mean or a time-varying variance or both. Hence the results cannot
be extrapolated for the entire population.
The test for stationarity can be done using Unit Root Test. It is due to the fact that = 1. If
however, || 1, that is if the absolute value of is less than one, then it can be shown that
the time series is stationary.
Given that in most situations only one observation is available at a given time, stationarity
ensures that all parts of the series are like the other parts, which allows us to estimate the
needed parameters. Therefore, the mean, the variance and the covariance of the series are
not functions of time and depend rather on the lag between the observations (the difference
between the times at which two observations were recorded). To summarize, if Xt is a
discrete time series, its distribution is described by its first two ments, which under
stationarity must depend only on the lag:
Since all time series data sets contain either deterministic or stochastic trends (or both), unit
root tests and stationarity tests are a way of determining which kind of trends are present in
the data. If only deterministic trends are present, then the series can be seen as being
generated by some non-random, pre-determined function of time with
some random error thrown in. On the other hand, if stochastic trends are present, then the
generating model of the series combines a starting value and a sequence of random
innovations with zero mean and constant variance, which forms a more dynamic structure.
In this case, each observation depends on its history of past random innovations, which
greatly impact its current value. Thus, in the case of stochastic trends the value of a future
observation depends on the values of present and past observations.
Augmented Dickey Fuller Test-
40
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
41/72
An augmented Dickey-Fuller test is a test for a unit root in a time series sample. An
augmented Dickey-Fuller test is a version of the Dickey-Fuller test for a larger and more
complicated set of time series models.
The augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) statistic, used in the test, is a negative number. The
more negative it is, the stronger the rejections of the hypothesis that there is a unit root at
some level of confidence.
Under the Dickey-Fuller test the null hypothesis that = 0, the estimated t value of the
coefficient of Yt-1 in follows the (tau) statistic. The values are arrived from Monte Carlo
simulation. This test is conducted by augmenting the preceding three equations by adding
the lagged values of the dependent variable Yt.
So the required regression is:
Yt= 1 + 2 t + Yt-1+ i Yt-i + t
Where is a constant, the coefficient on a time trend and p the lag order of the
autoregressive process. Imposing the constraints = 0 and = 0 corresponds to modeling a
random walk and using the constraint = 0 corresponds to modeling a random walk with a
drift.
By including lags of the order p the ADF formulation allows for higher-order
autoregressive processes. This means that the lag length p has to be determined when
applying the test. One possible approach is to test down from high orders and examine the
t-values on coefficients. An alternative approach is to examine information criteria such as
the Akaike information criterion, Bayesian information criterion or the Hannon Quinn
criterion.
The unit root test is then carried out under the null hypothesis = 1 against the alternative
hypothesis of < 1. Once a value for the test statistic
41
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
42/72
Computed it can be compared to the relevant critical value for the Dickey-Fuller Test. If the
test statistic is less than the critical value then the null hypothesis of = 1 is rejected and no
unit root is present
Where t is a pure white noise error term and the number of lagged difference terms to
include is often determined empirically, the idea being to include enough terms so that the
error term in is serially uncorrelated. Dickey and Fuller (1979) found that the distributions
of the t-statistics for the models given above are skewed to the left and have critical values
that are quite large and negative. That means that if the standard t-distributions were used
during testing; we would tend to over-reject the null hypothesis.
One important element in the ADF test is the number of lags present in the model. It has
been observed that the number of lagged factors has a great impact on the size and power
properties of the ADF test and therefore it is important to precisely determine how many
should be included in the model.
Some advocate starting with a large number of lags, estimating their coefficients and
eliminating the ones than are statistically insignificant at the chosen level. This process
would continue until no insignificant terms are left in the model. we can include
deterministic trends in the models (linear or non-linear) and the analysis goes along the
same lines as in the case of the DF variants. The only modification is, once again, the
presence of the lagged terms, which has to be determined with relatively high accuracy for
the unit root tests to be effective.
Then the test statistic T*(bOLS -1) has a known, documented distribution. Its value in a
particular sample can be compared to that distribution to determine a probability that the
original sample came from a unit root autoregressive process; that is, one in which b=1.
Properties and Characteristics of Unit Root Processes
Shocks to a unit root process have permanent effects, they do not decay
Non-stationary processes have no long-run means to revert to after a shock
42
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
43/72
Their variance is time dependent and it goes to infinity as it goes to infinity
I(1) processes can be rendered stationary and used for OLS estimation by taking
their first differences yt = yt y
First the stationarity has been checked for the closing values of stock markets and
settlement price of exchange market. If they are not stationary, then they are converted in
logarithmic values in order to make them in a continuous form. And if yet the time series
are not stationary, then daily returns are identified as the difference in the natural logarithm
of the closing index value for the two consecutive trading days .It can be presented as:
or
Where is logarithmic daily return at time t. and are daily prices of an asset at
two successive days, t-1 and t respectively.
In order to do time series analysis, transformation of original series is required depending
upon the type of series when the data is in the level form. The series of return was
transformed by taking natural logarithm. There are two advantages of this kind oftransformation of the series. First it eliminates the possible dependence of changes in stock
price index on the price level of the index. Second, the change in the log of the stock price
index yields continuously compounded series.
In the sample time series data i.e., BSE Sensex, NSE Nifty and Exchange Rate data have
been tested for their stationarity and the results are as follows

Testing for the distribution
A frequency distribution is a list of the values that a variable takes in a sample. It is
usually a list, ordered by quantity, showing the number of times each value appears.
Frequency distribution is said to be skewed when its mean and median are different. The
kurtosis of a frequency distribution is the concentration of scores at the mean, or how
peaked the distribution appears if depicted graphicallyfor example, in a histogram. If the
distribution is more peaked than the normal distribution it is said to be leptokurtic; if less
peaked it is said to be platykurtic.
Normal distribution
The importance of the normal distribution as a model of quantitative phenomena in the
natural and behavioral sciences is due to the central limit theorem. Many psychological
measurements and physical phenomena (like photon counts and noise) can be approximated
well by the normal distribution. While the mechanisms underlying these phenomena are
46
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
47/72
often unknown, the use of the normal model can be theoretically justified by assuming that
many small, independent effects are additively contributing to each observation.
The normal distribution also arises in many areas of statistics. For example, the sampling
distribution of the sample mean is approximately normal, even if the distribution of the
population from which the sample is taken is not normal. In addition, the normal
distribution maximizes information entropy among all distributions with known mean and
variance, which makes it the natural choice of underlying distribution for data summarized
in terms of sample mean and variance. The normal distribution is the most widely used
family of distributions in statistics and many statistical tests are based on the assumption of
normality. In probability theory, normal distributions arise as the limiting distributions of
several continuous and discrete families of distributions.
While statisticians and mathematicians uniformly use the term normal distribution for
this distribution, physicists sometimes call it a Gaussian distribution and, because of its
curved flaring shape, social scientists refer to it as the bell curve. Feller (1968) uses the
symbol for in the above equation, but then switches to in Feller (1971).
De Moivre developed the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial
distribution, and it was subsequently used by Laplace in 1783 to study measurement errors
and by Gauss in 1809 in the analysis of astronomical data.
The normal distribution is implemented in Mathematica as Normal Distribution [mu,
sigma]. The so-called standard normal distribution is given by taking =0 and 2=1 in a
general normal distribution. An arbitrary normal distribution can be converted to a standard
normal distribution by changing variables to , yielding
Normal distributions have many convenient properties, so random variates with unknown
distributions are often assumed to be normal, especially in physics and astronomy.
Although this can be a dangerous assumption, it is often a good approximation due to a
47
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
48/72
surprising result known as the central limit theorem. This theorem states that the mean of
any set of variates with any distribution having a finite mean and variance tends to the
normal distribution. Many common attributes such as test scores, height, etc., follow
roughly normal distributions, with few members at the high and low ends and many in the
middle.
Because they occur so frequently, there is an unfortunate tendency to invoke normal
distributions in situations where they may not be applicable. As Lippmann stated,
Everybody believes in the exponential law of errors: the experimenters, because they think
it can be proved by mathematics; and the mathematicians, because they believe it has been
established by observation (Whittaker and Robinson 1967, p. 179).
Among the amazing properties of the normal distribution are that the normal sum
distribution and normal difference distribution obtained by respectively adding and
subtracting variates X and Y from two independent normal distributions with arbitrary
means and variances are also normal!
The data is tested for the distribution that it follows and the results are as follows

Interpretation-
As can be seen from the above results the data sets of BSE Sensex, NSE Nifty and
Exchange Rate follows normal distribution. Hence the data is capable for further
testing.
The variances of the data sets are 00 which confirms the data as to its stationarity.
Test for Co-integration Johnsons Co-integration test

52/72
Co integration is an econometric technique for testing the correlation between stationary
time series variables. If two or more series are themselves stationary, and a linear
combination of them is stationary, then the series are said to be co integrated. For instance,
a stock market index and the price of its associated futures contract move through time,
each roughly following a random walk. Testing the hypothesis that there is a statistically
significant connection between the futures price and the spot price could now be done by
finding a co integrating vector. (If such a vector has a low order of integration it can signify
an equilibrium relationship between the original series, which are said to be co integrated
of an order below one).
It is often said that co integration is a means for correctly testing hypotheses concerning the
relationship between two variables having unit roots (i.e. integrated of order one). Series is
said to be integrated of order d if one can obtain a stationary series by differencing the
term d times. Such that:
C = Y dX (1)
is stationary, where the parameterdis the co integrating parameter that links the two time
series together. Further, the relationship Y = dX is considered to be a long-run, or
equilibrium, relationship suggested by economic theory. Under such circumstances these
markets are said to be co integrated. In contrast, lack of co integration implies that the
aforementioned variables have no link in the long-run. If two, or more series, are co
integrated, then there exist common factors that affect both and their permanent or secular
trends, and so the series will eventually adjust to equilibrium. The implications for
diversification are that even if, in the short-term the covariance between two series
indicates portfolio benefits, in the long-run
such benefits are spurious as the two series will eventually adjust to an equilibrium
relationship.
Hence, the existence of an equilibrium relationship between two or more variables,
assuming that they all are integrated individually to the same degree, requires that the co
integration between them is of a lower degree. That is if both X and Y are stationary I(1)
52
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
53/72
the co integration vector must be stationary I(0). However, if X and Y are integrated to
different degrees, there will not be any parameterdthat satisfies Equation (1). Thus a long-
run relationship implies the requirement that the two variables should be (i) integrated to
the same degree and (ii) a linear combination of the two variables should exist which is
integrated to a lower degree than the individual variables.
Testing for co integration involves two steps.
1. Determine the degree of integration in each of the series, a unit root analysis.
2. Estimate the co integration regression and test for integration.
Assuming that each series has the same number of unit roots, the co integration test can
commence. Engle and Granger (1987) proposed seven tests for examining the hypothesis
that two time series are not co integrated. In co integration tests, the null hypothesis is non-
co integration. Only two are used here both based on the using an OLS regression in the
following form:
Y = a + bX + m (3)
where b is the estimator for the equilibrium parameter, d; a is the intercept; and m is the
disturbance term. The first of the two tests of co integration is based on the Co integrating
Regression Durbin-Watson (CRDW) statistic. As a simple rule of thumb for a quick
evaluation of the co integration hypothesis Banerjee et al (1986) proposed that: if the
CRDW statistic is smaller than the coefficient of determination (R2) the co integration
hypothesis is likely to be false; otherwise, when CRDW> R2, co integration may occur.
Alternatively the CRDW statistic can be evaluated against critical values developed by
Engle and Granger (1987), if the CRDW statistic exceeds the critical value, the null
hypothesis of non-co integration is rejected. Suggesting that the series are not co integrated.
The test for co integration involves the significance of the estimated l1 coefficient. Again
the null hypothesis is that the error terms are nonstationary and acceptance of this
hypothesis indicates that the series under investigation are not integrated. If the t-statistic
on the l1 coefficient exceeds the critical value, the m residuals from the co integration
53

regression equation (3) are stationary and the variables X and Y are co integrated. Critical
values for this t statistic are given in Mackinnon (1991).

Interpretation-
As per Johnsons Co integration Test there exists no relationship between the two
series i.e., Exchange rate and NSE Nifty and Exchange rate and BSE Sensex
Through this test we can conclude that there is no long term relationship between exchange
rate and stock indices.
Test for Cross correlation
54
7/31/2019 Final Report Body Naresh Fresh
55/72
Cross correlation is a standard method of estimating the degree to which two series are
correlated. Consider two series x(i) and y(i) where i=0,1,2...N-1. The cross correlation r at
delay d is defined as
Where mx and my are the means of the corresponding series. If the above is computed for
all delays d=0, 1, 2, N-1 then it results in a cross correlation series of twice the length as the
original series.
There is the issue of what to do when the index into the series is less than 0 or greater than
or equal to the number of points. (i-d < 0 or i-d >= N) The most common approaches are to
either ignore these points or assuming the series x and y are zero for i < 0 and i >= N. In
many signal processing applications the series is assumed to be circular in which case the
out of range indexes are wrapped back within range, ie: x(-1) = x(N-1), x(N+5) = x(5)
etc.
The period for cross correlation has been decreased to 1 st January 2004 to 30th June 2009.
This time period has been further segmented into duration of six months i.e. two equal
halfs of a year to find out if there is any short run relation or spillover from one variable to
another in this time period. 12 days lag is considered to see the lead/lag relation between
the two variables.

Numbers with in brackets indicate T values = correlation/ standard error * indicates t
values greater than 2, @ 5% significance level
Interpretation:
From the above table, it is clear that in first half of 2004, T value for all the leads and
lags is not statistically significant. So there is no impact of ER on sensex and vice
versa.
In the second half of 2004 T value at -2 lag and at -4 lag is significant. This shows that
ER at zero date has an inverse effect on second and fourth days share prices and T
value at + 7 lag is also significant. So SENSEX inversely affects the ER.
In the first half of 2005 SENSEX is affected by ER on first, third and ninth day. In the
second half of 2005 on the same day and next day there was an inverse affect on Index
due to fluctuations in ER. And there was cyclical relationship between the variables
during this period.
In the year 2006 and in first half of 2007, ER and SENSEX are not affected by each
other. In the second half 2007 ER affects SENSEX on the second day.
In the first half of 2008 ER leads SENSEX at five day lag and SENSEX leads ER at
five day lag. In the second half of 2008 SENSEX leads ER at the same day and at +2
and +8 days lag.
In the first half of 2009 fluctuations in ER are reflected in SENSEX on the next day.
So finally we can find that there is no systematic pattern of lead or lag between the
variables in this period.
