Incidence of macroeconomic variables on the financial markets of the OECD countries

Abstract

The final degree project analyzes the influence of macroeconomic variables on the financial markets of the OECD countries. The relationship between economic growth, inflation, and long-term interest rates with stock prices. The results show the existence of significant relationship between these variables, which indicates that macroeconomic factors have a significant impact on the dynamics of financial markets. It is shown that higher economic growth is associated with an increase in share prices, that inflation has a negative impact on financial markets, and that the variation of long-term interest rates directly affects the financial markets. All these findings provide valuable insights for investors and policy makers, enabling more informed and strategic investment decisionmaking.
