Abstract

This paper examines the effect of crude oil price and real estate growth on Malaysian stock market performance by examining the monthly data from 1999-2016 using both linear and non-linear tests. These tests examine the long-run and short-run relationship among variables. Granger causality test is used to measure the short-run adjustments towards the long-run relationship among the variables. The results of Granger causality test indicates that a bidirectional relationship exists between stock market performance, crude oil price, real estate. In other words, there is a dynamic relationship among the stock market performance, crude oil and real estate.
