It is undisputable that crude oil and its price fluctuations are major components that affect most of the countries' economies. Recent studies have demonstrated that beside the impact that crude oil price fluctuations have on common macroeconomic indicators like gross domestic product (GDP), inflation rates, exchange rates, unemployment rate, etc., it also has a strong influence on stock markets and their performance. This relationship has been examined in a number of settings, but it is yet to be unraveled in the Omani context. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to examine the possible effect of the oil price fluctuations on stock price movements. The study applies Toda and Yamamoto's (1995) Granger non-causality test on the daily Oman stock index (Muscat Securities Market Index) and oil prices between the period of 2 January 2003 and 13 March 2016. The results indicated that the oil price fluctuations have a significant impact on stock index movements. However, the stock price movements do not have a significant impact on oil prices. These findings have significant implications not only for the Omani economy but also for the economy of similar countries, particularly in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The latter should carefully consider their policies and strategies regarding crude oil production and the generated income allocation as it might potentially affect the financial markets performance in these countries.

Stock movement is difficult to predict because it has dynamic characteristics and is influenced by many factors. Even so, there are some approaches to predict stock price movements, namely technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and sentiment analysis. Many researches have tried to predict stock price movement by utilizing these analysis techniques. However, the results obtained are varied and inconsistent depending on the variables and object used. This is because stock price movement is influenced by a variety of factors, and it is likely that those studies did not cover all of them. One of which is that no research considers the use of fundamental analysis in terms of currency exchange rates and the use of foreign stock price index movement related to the technical analysis. This research aims to predict stock price movements in Indonesia based on sentiment analysis, technical analysis, and fundamental analysis using Support Vector Machine. The result obtained has a prediction accuracy rate of 65,33% on an average. The inclusion of currency exchange rate and foreign stock price index movement as a predictor in this research which can increase average prediction accuracy rate by 11.78% compared to the prediction without using these two variables which only results in average prediction accuracy rate of 53.55%.

We address the problem about forecasting the direction of stock price movement in the Korea market. Recently, the deep neural network is popularly applied in this area of research. In deep neural network systems, proper parameter initialization reduces training time and improves the performance of the model. Therefore, in our study, we propose a novel parameter initialization technique and apply this technique for the stock price movement prediction model. Specifically, we design a framework which consists of two models: a base model and a main prediction model. The base model constructed with LSTM is trained by using the large data which is generated by a large amount of the stock data to achieve optimal parameters. The main prediction model with the same architecture as the base model uses the optimal parameter initialization. Thus, the main prediction model is trained by only using the data of the given stock. Moreover, the stock price movements can be affected by other related information in the stock market. For this reason, we conducted our research with two types of inputs. The first type is the stock features, and the second type is a combination of the stock features and the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) features. Empirical results conducted on the top five stocks in the KOSPI list in terms of market capitalization indicate that our approaches achieve better predictive accuracy and F1-score comparing to other baseline models.

Purpose: This study examines how psychological heuristics influence stock price dynamics in Korea's distribution industry after significant price shocks. Research Design, Data, and Methodology: The study analyzes daily stock price movements exceeding 10% for Korean distribution companies from 1993 to 2022. It establishes anchoring heuristic reference points, including the 52-week high and low, and segments the sample based on company size and volatility. Results: We analyzed a sample previously studied by Lee et al. (2023). Our findings indicate that when a stock experiences a positive (negative) price shock near its 52-week high (or lowest price), investors in large (small) companies exhibit an optimism (pessimism) bias. This leads to overreactions and subsequent stock price reversals after the event date. Conversely, when a stock encounters a negative (positive) price shock near its 52-week high (or lowest price), investorstend to underreact due to anchoring heuristics. Thisresultsin a drift effect on the stock price after the event day. Notably, investor behavior around 52-week highs or lows directly impacts their heuristic behavior related to those price points. Conclusions: This paper uniquely examines behavioral biases among distribution-related stock investors in Korea, shedding light on stock price reversal and drift effects.

Purpose: This paper aims to assess psychological heuristics' effectiveness on cumulative returns after significant stock price changes. Specifically, it compares availability and anchoring heuristics' empirical validity due to conflicting stock return predictions. Research Design, Data, and Methodology: This paper analyzes stock price changes of Korean distribution industry stocks in the KOSPI market from January 2004 to July 2022, where daily fluctuations exceed 10%. It evaluates availability heuristics using daily KOSPI index changes and tests anchoring heuristics using 52-week high and low stock prices as reference points. Results: As a result of the empirical analysis, stock price reversals did not consistently appear alongside changes in the daily KOSPI index. By contrast, stock price drifts consistently appeared around the 52-week highest stock price and 52-week lowest stock price. The result of the multiple regression analysis which controlled for both company-specific and event-specific variables supported the anchoring heuristics. Conclusions: For stocks related to the Korean distribution industry in the KOSPI market, the anchoring heuristics theory provides a consistent explanation for stock returns after large-scale stock price fluctuations that initially appear to be random movements.

주가 예측은 학문적으로나 실용적으로나 중요한 문제이기에, 주가 예측에 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행되었다. 빅 데이터 시대에 도입하면서, 빅 데이터를 결합한 주가 예측 연구도 활발히 진행되고 있다. 다수의 데이터를 기반으로 기계 학습을 이용한 연구가 주를 이룬다. 특히 언론의 효과를 접목한 연구 방법들이 주목을 받고 있는데, 그중 온라인 뉴스를 분석하여 주가 예측에 활용하는 연구가 주를 이루고 있다. 기존 연구들은 온라인 뉴스가 개별 회사에 대한 미치는 영향을 주로 살펴보았다. 또한, 관련성이 높은 기업끼리 서로 영향을 주는 것을 고려하는 방법도 최근에 연구되고 있다. 이는 동질성을 가지는 산업군에 대한 효과를 살펴본 것인데, 기존 연구에서 동질성을 가지는 산업군은 국제 산업 분류 표준에 따른다. 즉, 기존 연구들은 국제 산업 분류 표준으로 나뉜 산업군이 동질성을 가진다는 가정하에서 분석을 시행하였다. 하지만 기존 연구들은 영향력을 가지는 회사를 고려하지 못한 채 예측하였거나 산업군 내에서 이질성이 존재하는 점을 반영하지 못했다는 한계점을 가진다. 본 연구는 산업군 내에 이질성이 존재함을 밝히고, 이질성을 반영하지 못한 기존 연구의 한계점을 K-평균 군집 분석을 적용하여, 주가에 영향을 미치는 산업군의 동질적인 효과를 반영할 수 있는 방법론을 제안하였다. 방법론이 적합하다는 것을 증명하기 위해 3년간의 온라인 뉴스와 주가를 통해 실험한 결과, 다수의 경우에서 본 논문에서 제시한 방법이 좋은 결과를 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었으며, 국제 산업 분류 표준 산업군 내에서 이질성이 클수록 본 논문에서 제시한 방법이 좋은 효과를 보인다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 국제 산업 분류 표준으로 나누어진 기업들이 높은 동질성을 가지지 않는 다는것을 밝히고 이를 반영한 예측 모형의 효율성을 입증하였다는 점에서 의의를 가진다.

주식 시장은 거래자들의 기업과 시황에 대한 기대가 반영되어 움직이기에, 다양한 원천의 텍스트 데이터 분석을 통해 주가 움직임을 예측하려는 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 주가의 움직임을 예측하는 것이기에 단순히 주가의 등락 뿐만이 아니라, 뉴스 기사나 소셜 미디어의 반응에 따라 거래를 하고 이에 따른 수익률을 분석하는 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 주가의 움직임을 예측하는 연구들도 다른 분야의 텍스트 마이닝 접근 방안과 동일하게 단어-문서 매트릭스를 구성하여 분류 알고리즘에 적용하여 왔다. 문서에 많은 단어들이 포함되어 있기 때문에 모든 단어를 가지고 단어-문서 매트릭스를 만드는 것보다는 단어가 문서를 범주로 분류할 때 기여도가 높은 단어들을 선정하여야 한다. 단어의 빈도를 고려하여 너무 적은 등장 빈도나 중요도를 보이는 단어는 제거하게 된다. 단어가 문서를 정확하게 분류하는 데 기여하는 정도를 측정하여 기여도에 따라 사용할 단어를 선정하기도 한다. 단어-문서 매트릭스를 구성하는 기본적인 방안인 분석의 대상이 되는 모든 문서를 수집하여 분류에 영향력을 미치는 단어를 선정하여 사용하는 것이었다. 본 연구에서는 개별 종목에 대한 문서를 분석하여 종목별 등락에 모두 포함되는 단어를 중립 단어로 선정한다. 선정된 중립 단어 주변에 등장하는 단어들을 추출하여 단어-문서 매트릭스 생성에 활용한다. 중립 단어 자체는 주가 움직임과 연관관계가 적고, 중립 단어의 주변 단어가 주가 상승에 더 영향을 미칠 것이라는 생각에서 출발한다. 생성된 단어-문서 매트릭스를 가지고 주가의 등락 여부를 분류하는 알고리즘에 적용하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 종목 별로 중립 단어를 1차 선정하고, 선정된 단어 중에서 다른 종목에도 많이 포함되는 단어는 추가적으로 제외하는 방안을 활용하였다. 온라인 뉴스 포털을 통해 시가 총액 상위 10개 종목에 대한 4개월 간의 뉴스 기사를 수집하였다. 3개월간의 뉴스 기사를 학습 데이터로 분류 모형을 수립하였으며, 남은 1개월간의 뉴스 기사를 모형에 적용하여 다음 날의 주가 움직임을 예측하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 중립 단어 활용 알고리즘이 희소성에 기반한 단어 선정 방안에 비해 우수한 분류 성과를 보였다.

This study aims to determine the impact of the news coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic on the composite stocks' movement (IHSG) in Indonesia. This study used secondary data of daily time series with an observation range of March 2020-June 2020. This study used three main variables, namely, COVID-19 news, the daily price of a composite stock market index (IHSG), and interest rate. This study clarifies pandemic news into two forms to facilitate quantitative analysis, namely, good news and bad news. Both pandemic news conditions, which have been clarified, are then processed into the index and reprocessed along with two other variables using vector autoregressive (VAR). The results showed that the good news have a dominant effect on developing the composite stock price index (IHSG) in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the good news dominates the composite stock price index (IHSG) movement in Indonesia, the bad news must also be anticipated. By implementing a series of macroeconomic policies that follow the conditions of the composite stock price index (IHSG) movements on the stock exchange floor, the bad news response can decrease the potential for a decline in investor confidence, so that the financial system's macroeconomic stability is maintained.

This paper studies the behaviour of stock prices on the ex-dividend day in the Korean stock market. Since a majority of listed Korean firms are December firms whose fiscal year end in December and whose ex-dividend day falls on the same calendar day in the year, we use stock prices of Non-December firms to estimate the general stock price movements not related to cash dividends. We estimate excess returns on days around the ex-dividend day. Our major findings are (a) there is no tax clientele effect in Korea, (b) the opening price stock prices fell by the amount of the current cash dividend per share until 2001, but it does not fall as much as the current dividend per share since 2001. Furthermore, in contrast to the U.S. and the Japanese findings, (c) stocks earned negative excess returns on the ex-dividend day until 2001, after which all stocks are earning positive excess returns on the ex-dividend day, and (d) the closing stock price on the ex-dividend day that used to be even higher than the cum-dividend price until 2001 is lower than the opening stock price since 2001. The evidence suggests a structural break has happened around the year 2001.

The study examines the behavior of stock prices after large price changes. It further examines the effect of firm size on stock returns, and the presence of the disposition effect. The study employs the event study methodology using daily price data from Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) for the period January 2001 to July 2012. Furthermore, to examine the factors that explain stock price behavior after large price movements, the study employs a two-way fixed-effect model that allows for the analysis of unobservable company and time fixed effects that explain market reversals or continuation. The findings suggest that winners perform better than losers after experiencing large price shocks thus showing a momentum behavior. In addition, the winners remain the winner, while the losers continue to lose more. This suggests that most of the investors in PSX behave rationally. Further, the study finds no evidence of disposition effect in PSX. The investors underreact to new information and the prices continue to move in the direction of initial change. The pooled regression estimates show that firm size is positively related to post-event abnormal returns while the fixed-effect model reveals the presence of unobservable firm-specific and time-specific effects that account for price continuation.
