Abstract

This study examines the influence of macroeconomic variables on the performance of the Indian stock market from 1993–1994 to 2018–2019. The research objectives have been studied using a variety of Macroeconomic Indicators and Stock Market Indices (including GDP, Broad Money, Crude Oil Price, Current Deficit, and Foreign Exchange Reserve) and (respectively) Sensex and Nifty. The effect has been determined using multiple regression analysis. The findings indicate that both the foreign exchange reserve and the gross domestic product significantly affect the performance of the Indian stock market. NSE - Nifty responds favourably to increases in both GDP and foreign exchange reserves. So, increase in Gross Domestic Product and Foreign Exchange Reserve leads to increase in Nifty.
