Volatility of Nifty With Selected Security and Economic Factors 9886649997

VOLATILITY OF NIFTY WITH SELECTED SECURITIES & ECONOMIC FACTORS IIFL
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Speculators are the risk takers who are inclined to invest all their money into one
risky investment and hope it pays off. Instead of putting all their eggs in one basket more
risk- adverse investors try to reduce their exposure to risk by purchasing a diversified list of
different investments called a portfolio.
In pure financial terms, volatility is defined as ‘the degree to which the price of a
security, commodity or market rises or falls within a short period time’. As is evident from
the definition, volatility relates to the variability in the price of a security. In the context of
the stock market volatility of the market refers to the volatility of the indices of the
securities within the market. In India, for instance the National stock Exchange index Nifty
would be one of the relevant indices to look into for examining stock market volatility.
The study is carried out in two parts. Under first part an attempt is made to test the
performance of selected securities in comparison with the market index nifty, to identify
whether investors can invest in securities by tracing the market indices. The secondary data
is used for the study and is extracted from the available sources such as websites of the
company, NSE, textbooks and magazines, stock brokers. For the purpose of the research the
nifty index is selected as the market index and three companies each under five industries
are selected for the study. Weekly closing price of securities and weekly closing value of
national stock exchange index (nifty) are considered for the study purpose. Testing of
performance of selected securities in comparison with market index is done by using
correlation analysis.
Under second part, a study is conducted to know the relationship in between nifty
and some of the selected economic factors such as net Foreign Institutional Investment (FII)
flows in India, gold prices and Rupee-Dollar exchange rate. Here also for the study purpose
secondary data is used. Here also weekend values of the selected economic factors are used
for the study purpose. Testing of performance of nifty with the selected economic factors is
done by using statistical tools correlation and regression analysis.
From the study conducted it was found that the selected securities are moving with
the market index in all the sectors except one company under telecommunication sector
which is showing negative correlation and also there exists the relationship in between the
nifty and the selected economic factors.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Financial markets
Financial markets are the centers or arrangements that provide facilities for buying
and selling of financial claims and services. Corporations, financial institutions, individuals
and government trade in financial products on these markets either directly or through
brokers and dealers through an organized exchange or off-exchange.
Capital markets
The capital market is the market for securities, where companies and governments
can raise long-term funds. The capital market includes the stock market and the bond
market. Through the capital market large amounts of money (capital) are raised by
companies, governments and other organizations for long term use and the subsequent trade
of the instruments issued in recognition of such capital.
The capital markets consist of primary markets and secondary markets. Newly issued
securities are bought or sold in the primary markets. Secondary markets allow investors to
sell securities that they hold or buy existing securities.
Primary Market
A market that issues new securities on an exchange. Companies, governments and

other groups obtain financing through debt or equity based securities. Primary markets are
facilitated by underwriting groups, which consist of investment banks that will set a
beginning price range for a given security and then oversee its sale directly to investors, also
known as "new issue market" (NIM).
The primary markets are where investors can get first crack at a new security
issuance. The issuing company or group receives cash proceeds from the sale, which is
then used to fund operations or expand the business. Exchanges have varying levels
of requirements which must be met before a security can be sold.

Once the initial sale is complete, further trading is said to be conducted on the
secondary market, which is where the bulk of exchange trading occurs each day. Primary
markets can see increased volatility over secondary markets because it is difficult to
accurately gauge investor demand for a new security until several days of trading have
occurred.
Secondary Market
A market where investors purchase securities or assets from other investors, rather
than from issuing companies themselves. The national exchanges - such as the National
Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ are secondary markets.
Secondary markets exist for other securities as well, such as funds, investment banks,
or entities such as Fannie Mae purchase mortgages from issuing lenders. In any secondary
market trade, the cash proceeds go to an investor rather than to the underlying
company/entity directly.
Bombay Stock Exchange:

Bombay Stock Exchange is the oldest stock exchange in Asia with a rich heritage,
now spanning three centuries in its 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
1956. BSE's pivotal and pre-eminent role in the development of the Indian capital market is
widely recognized. It migrated from the open outcry system to an online screen-based order
driven trading system in 1995. Earlier an Association of Persons (AOP), BSE is now a
corporatized and demutualised entity incorporated under the provisions of the Companies
Act, 1956, pursuant to the BSE (Corporatization and Demutualization) Scheme, 2005
notified by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). With demutualization, BSE
has two of world's best exchanges, Deutsche Börse and Singapore Exchange, as its strategic
partners.
National Stock Exchange
The National Stock Exchange of India Limited has its genesis in the report of the
High Powered Study Group on Establishment of New Stock Exchanges, which

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.
On its recognition as a stock exchange under the Securities Contracts (Regulation)

Act, 1956 in April 1993, NSE commenced operations in the Wholesale Debt Market
(WDM) segment in June 1994. The Capital Market (Equities) segment commenced
operations in November 1994 and operations in Derivatives segment commenced on June
2000.
Stock market index
An index is used to give information about the price movements of products in the
financial, commodities or any other markets. Financial indexes are constructed to measure
price movements of stocks, bonds, T-bills and other forms of investments. Stock market
indexes are meant to capture the overall behavior of equity markets. A stock market index is
created by selecting a group of stocks that are representative of the whole market or a
specified sector or segment of the market. An index is calculated with reference to a base
period and a base index value.
Stock market indexes are useful for a variety of reasons. Some of them are:
 They provide a historical comparison of returns on money invested in the stock

market against other forms of investments such as gold or debt.
 They can be used as a standard against which to compare the performance of an
equity fund.
 It is a lead indicator of the performance of the overall economy or a sector of the
economy.
 Stock indexes reflect highly up to date information.

 Modern financial applications such as Index Funds, Index Futures, and Index
Options play an important role in financial investments and risk management.

About nifty 50
The S&P CNX Nifty (Nifty 50 or simply Nifty) is a composite of the top 50 stocks
listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE), representing 20 different sectors of the
economy. It is a simplified tool that helps investors and ordinary people alike, to understand
what is happening in the stock market and by extension, the economy. If the Nifty Index
performs well, it is a signal that companies in India are performing well and consequently
that the country is doing well.
An upbeat economy is usually reflected in a strong performance of the Nifty Index.

A rising index is also indicative that the investors are optimistic about the future. The Nifty
Index is based upon solid economic research. It is internationally respected and recognized
as a pioneering effort in providing simpler understanding of stock market complexities.
Nifty is the flagship index of NSE, the 3rd largest stock exchange in the world in terms of
number of transactions (Stock Futures)
Nifty has been used to represent S&P CNX Nifty, owned and managed by India
Index Services and Products Ltd. (IISL), a joint venture between NSE and CRISIL.
 Nifty index can be used by individuals to track market movements and compare
performance of individual companies’ vis-à-vis market performance.
 Shareholders evaluation of management decisions - performance of a company vis-

à-vis the market generally reflects the perception of the investor.
 Assist traders and market intermediaries to evaluate performance and sentiments

across the market.
 Index funds can replicate Nifty indices to earn market returns.
 Derivative trading - Investors can use Nifty indices for hedging their exposures in
the equity markets.
 Benchmarking NAV performances - Nifty is the benchmark for performance of

open ended and close ended funds

1.2 Stock market and the economy
The stock market and the economy are deeply intertwined so that when something
happens to one it affects the other. It is said that stock market declines have a wide ranging
effect on many sectors of the economy; therefore, the health of the stock market is seen as
an indicator of the general economic health. A drop in the stock market often translate into
decreased networth for both households and business, thereby, decreasing consumer
spending and confidence, which damages the economy.
Brief introduction to some of the economic factors.
A.Foreign Institutional Investor (FII)
Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) is an investor - mostly of the form of an institution

or entity, which invests money in the financial markets of a country different from the one
where in the institution or entity was originally incorporated. In countries like India,
statutory agencies like SEBI have prescribed norms to register FIIs and also to regulate such
investments flowing in through FIIs.
Some investment highlights:
The Indian growth story has attracted global majors like CLSA, HSBC, Citigroup,
Merrill Lynch, Crown Capital, Fidelity, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, UBS, T Rowe
Price International, Capital International and ABN Amro among others to enter the Indian
financial market.
• Goldman Sachs and Macquarie have acquired a 20 per cent stake each in PTC India
Financial services Ltd.
• Temasek Holdings, Investment Corporation of Dubai, Goldman Sachs, Macquarie, AIF
Capital, Citigroup and India Equity Partners (IEP) have picked a combined stake of 10 per
cent in Bharti Infratel.
• An entity of Merrill Lynch has picked up 49 per cent stake in seven residential projects of
real estate major, DLF.
• Blackstone has taken up a 26 per cent stake in MTAR Technologies.

• Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and BSMA have picked up a combined stake
of over seven per cent in Gitanjali Gems.
• Fidelity Investments International has picked up close to seven per cent equity in
Transport Corporation of India (TCI).
FIIs are allowed to invest in the primary and secondary capital markets in India
through the portfolio investment scheme (PIS). Under this scheme, FIIs can acquire
shares/debentures of Indian companies through the stock exchanges in India.
The ceiling for overall investment for FIIs is 24 per cent of the paid up capital of the
Indian company. The limit is 20 per cent of the paid up capital in the case of public sector
banks, including the State Bank of India. The ceiling of 24 per cent for FII investment can
be raised up to sectorial cap/statutory ceiling, subject to the approval of the board and the
general body of the company passing a special resolution to that effect. To further increase
FII participation in the Indian market, the Government and Sebi have agreed to allow
foreign individuals, corporate and other investors to register directly as foreign institutional
investors - a move designed to increase transparency and reduce transaction costs for these
investors.
Overseas investors have infused US$ 816.69 million into the stock market in the
first trading week of 2010, reflecting a positive start for the year after record inflows in the
last year. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs) were gross buyers of shares worth US$ 3.03
billion, and sold equities valued worth US$ 2.2 billion, resulting in a net investment of US$
823.74 million, according to the capital market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of
India (SEBI). FIIs were net investors of US$ 973.22 million in debt instruments in the first
trading week of the year, according to data released by SEBI.
According to SEBI, FIIs transferred a record US$ 17.46 billion in domestic equities
during the calendar year 2010. This FII investment in 2010 proved to be the highest ever
inflow in the country in rupee terms in a single year, breaking the previous high of US$
14.96 billion parked by foreign fund houses in domestic equities in 2007. FIIs infused a net
US$ 1.05 billion in debt instruments during the said period. During the October-December
period in 2009-10, FIIs made a net buy of shares worth US$ 5.19 billion, according to data
compiled from market regulator, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

In the quarter, December attracted the highest inflow of US$ 2.2 billion, followed by
October US$ 1.95 billion and November US$ 1.18 billion. FIIs poured a net US$ 1.26
billion in debt instruments during the said period.
The trend of strong FII inflows to the tune of about US$ 6.3 billion witnessed during
April-June quarter gained further during the September quarter of current fiscal with an
infusion of US$ 7.2 billion.
The number of FIIs who registered themselves with SEBI this year was higher by 7
per cent over 2008. Data sourced from the SEBI shows that number of registered FIIs stood
at 1706 and number of registered sub-accounts rose to 5,331 as of December 31, 2009.
A number of market and equity analysts indicate that a large part of FII inflows have
come from long-only funds, signaling that the quality of foreign investment is good.
India has in fact, emerged the most lucrative markets for short and medium-term
investments. The US is once again at the top of the list of foreign investors in the Indian
stock market, as per data presented in the Lok Sabha by the Finance Ministry. According to
the latest data, till mid-November 2009, US-based foreign institutional investors (FIIs) had
net investments of about US$ 4.46 billion in the Indian markets, as compared with US$
702.37 million in 2006. They are followed by the US$ 2.57 billion net investments routed
through Luxembourg. These two countries are further followed by France, Mauritius and
the UK.
FIIs appear to be betting big on the primary market rather than the secondary market,
says Mr Anoop Bhaskar, Head of Equities at UTI Mutual Fund. Roughly US$ 9 million-
US$ 10 million came in the primary issuance – through qualified institutional placements
(QIPs) or preferential allotment or initial public offerings (IPOs).
Private equity firms invested US$ 1.4 billion over 84 deals in India during October-
December quarter of 2009, taking the annual investment numbers to US$ 3.82 billion over
232 deals, according to a study by Venture Intelligence, a research service focused on
private equity (PE) and merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions.
B. Gold

Gold market in India
Eternally attractive to mankind, gold has found its principal use as a store of value. Its
beauty has made it popular in decoration. Gold has also become an increasingly important
industrial metal. Because of its rarity and its durability, gold has been almost universally
acceptable as money for thousands of years. Gold is the most prominent of the noble metals
(gold, silver, platinum, and other platinum group metals), so termed because of their
inertness, or reluctance to enter into chemical reactions. Gold will not react with common
acids. Gold, the most famous of all precious metals, is widely sought after throughout the
world for both its investment qualities and industrial properties. Indeed, gold traditionally
has served three functions: as a monetary instrument, as a financial asset, and as a raw
material primarily used in jewellery and decorative objects.
As an investment, gold typically is viewed as a financial asset that will maintain its
value during times of political, social, or economic distress. As such, gold can provide
individual and institutional investors alike with a portfolio safety net against sharp
downward spikes in complementary assets such as stocks and bonds. While investment
demand is important, the largest use for gold is in jewellery, with the majority of use
occurring in the United States, Japan, Italy, India, China, and Thailand. Jewellery
production has been growing at a robust pace in the developing countries of Southeast Asia
and the Middle East since 1988. Gold also is used in electronic connectors and dental
alloys. Gold is mined in more than 76 countries around the world, with the large number of
development projects in these countries expected to keep production growing well into the
next century. Currently, South Africa is the largest gold producing country, followed by the
United States, Australia, and Canada. Millions of people all over the world continue to use
gold as a hedge against inflation and as a basic form of savings and a reliable store of value
during times of economic uncertainty or political upheaval.
Weak dollar drives gold

Gold price movements are determined by the perception of gold as a `store of value'
rather than its fundamentals as a commodity. The precious metal's value is also determined
by such factors as inflation, interest rates and the presence of lucrative alternative
investment avenues in the economy. In the past two years, gold has regained popularity as a
`store of value'. The weakening dollar and the prevailing low interest rates at the global

level have left investors with limited alternative investment avenues. The spectre of even a
moderate increase in inflation levels, fuelled by the spurt in commodity prices, would
further squeeze the real rate of return on debt investments. This has forced investors to look
for a relatively risk-free investment option. In these circumstances, there has been a rush
towards gold as it is an eternal asset with an intrinsic value. For long, dollar-denominated
instruments were considered the favourite assets for central banks and institutional
investors.
Is gold a golden investment?

Gold and silver have been sought and prized since prehistoric times. They have also
been both a cause of war and a medium of exchange. Gold is the standard by which the
value of anything is assessed; it is universally accepted. Silver does not lag behind in global
trade markets and as an investment. In the code of Menes, an Egyptian ruler of 3100 BC, it
is declared that .one unit of gold is equal to two and- a-half units of silver in value.. Silver
was actually more widely employed as the standard of value until the nineteenth century.
According to the World Gold Council Report, India stands today as the world’s largest
single market for gold consumption. In developing countries, people have often trusted gold
as a better investment than bonds and stocks. Gold and silver have been popular in India
because historically these acted as a good hedge against inflation. In that sense these metals
have been more attractive than bank deposits or gilt-edged securities.
Despite recent hiccups, gold is an important and popular investment for many
reasons:
 In many countries gold remains an integral part of social and religious customs,
besides being the basic form of saving. Shakespeare called it .the saint-seducing
gold. Superstition about the healing powers of gold persists. Ayurvedic medicine in
India recommends gold powder and pills for many ailments.
 Gold is indestructible. It does not tarnish and is also not corroded by acid except by
a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acids.
 Gold has aesthetic appeal. Its beauty recommends it for ornament making above all
other metals.
 Gold is so malleable that one ounce of the metal can be beaten into a sheet covering
nearly a hundred square feet.

 Gold is so ductile that one ounce of it can be drawn into fifty miles of thin gold wire.
 Gold is an excellent conductor of electricity.
 Gold is so dense that all the 90,000 tonnes estimated to have been mined through
C. FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET
The foreign exchange market (forex, FX, or currency market) is a

worldwide decentralized over-the-counter financial market for the trading of
currencies. Financial centers around the world function as anchors of trading
between a wide range of different types of buyers and sellers around the clock,
with the exception of weekends.
The purpose of the foreign exchange market 'Forex' is to assist international trade and
investment. The foreign exchange market allows businesses to convert one currency to
another foreign currency. For example, it permits a U.S. business to import European goods
and pay Euros, even though the business's income is in U.S. dollars. Some experts,
however, believe that the unchecked speculative movement of currencies by large financial
institutions such as hedge funds impedes the markets from correcting global current account
imbalances. This carry trade may also lead to loss of competitiveness in some countries.
In a typical foreign exchange transaction a party purchases a quantity of one currency

by paying a quantity of another currency. The modern foreign exchange market started
forming during the 1970s when countries gradually switched to floating exchange rates
from the previous exchange rate regime, which remained fixed as per the Bretton Woods
system.
The foreign exchange market is unique because of
• trading volume results in market liquidity

• geographical dispersion
• continuous operation: 24 hours a day except weekends, i.e. trading from 20:15 UTC
on Sunday until 22:00 UTC Friday
• the variety of factors that affect exchange rates
• the low margins of relative profit compared with other markets of fixed income

Unlike a stock market, the foreign exchange market is divided into levels of access.
At the top is the inter-bank market, which is made up of the largest commercial banks and
securities dealers. Within the inter-bank market, spreads, which are the difference between
the bid and ask prices, are razor sharp and usually unavailable, and not known to players
outside the inner circle. The top-tier inter-bank market accounts for 53% of all transactions.
After that there are usually smaller banks, followed by large multi-national corporations
(which need to hedge risk and pay employees in different countries), large hedge funds, and
even some of the retail FX-metal market makers. According to Galati and Melvin, “Pension
funds, insurance companies, mutual funds, and other institutional investors have played an
increasingly important role in financial markets in general, and in FX markets in particular,
since the early 2000s.” (2004) In addition, he notes, “Hedge funds have grown markedly
over the 2001–2004 period in terms of both number and overall size” Central banks also
participate in the foreign exchange market to align currencies to their economic needs.

3.1 LITERATURE REVIEW.
Topic name: Forecasting NIFTY Volatility

July 25, 2007 by Anup Nathani,a.nathani@iperitus.com
Abstract.
The Indian economy has been growing rapidly encouraging a bull run in the stock
markets. Index like the S&P CNX NIFTY has shown an impressive 38% annualized returns
from April 2003 (See NIFTY chart below). These unprecedented returns and growing
interest of international investment community in the Indian markets have given a further
boost to the markets resulting in increased volatility. An increase in volatility implies
increasing opportunities for traders and investors1, if they have a forecast of the volatility
ahead. At I-Peritus we use quantitative techniques to study and forecast market. These
forecasts allow investors to understand the behavior of the markets and time their
investment tactics. In this paper we outline our approach for modeling a rolling 5 day
volatility forecast. The paper lists out the span of data used, model implemented and the
accuracy of the technique employed.
Topic name: Investigating causal relationship between stock return with respect to
exchange rate and FII: evidence from India
By,Kumar , Sundaram Birla Institute of Technology & Science Pilani
Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between macroeconomic

parameters like Exchange rate and foreign institutional investment with stock returns in
India, in particular at National Stock Exchange. I find that both stock returns and exchange
rate are integrated of order one. The Engle–Granger Cointegration test is then performed,
suggestingthat there is not a long-run equilibrium relationship between stock returns and
exchange rates at 5% significance level. Moreover, there is no evidence suggesting that
there is any causality relationship from the nominal exchange rate to the stock returns.
Furthermore, FII data is found to be I(0) i.e. It doesn’t have a unit root at conventional level.
It also gives positive unidirectional Granger causality results i.e. stock returns Granger
cause FII. No reverse causality is seen even after inserting a structural break in 2003, as
some of the researchers suggest.
OTHERS
Fama (1981) said that stock prices reflect these variables such as inflation, exchange
rate, interest rate and industrial production. Later, Maysami and Koh (2000) and Choi et al.
(1992) examined the impacts of the interest rate and exchange rate on the stock returns and
showed that the exchange rate and interest rate are the determinants in the stock prices.
Frank and Young (1972) investigated the relationship between stock prices and
exchange rates by employing six different exchange rates and concluded no statistically
significant underlying relationship. Solnik (1987) gave positive as well as negative
relationship between real stock returns and real exchange rate movements for different time
frames. Ma and Kao (1990) found a negative relationship whereas Oskooe and Sohrabian
(1992) claimed a bidirectional Granger causality with no long-term relationship.
Rajput and Thaker state that no long run positive correlation exists between exchange
rate and Stock Index in Indian context except for year 2002 and 2005. FII and Stock Index
show positive correlation, but fail to predict the future value. Takeshi (2008) reports
unidirectional causality from stock returns to FII flows irrelevant of the sample period in
India where as the reverse causality works only post 2003. The structural break of 2003 as
suggested by him and some other researchers was introduced in the current model and
hence analyzed.

3.2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Type of research:
The study type is analytical, quantitative and historical. Analytical because facts and
existing information is used for the analysis, Quantitative as relationship is examined by
expressing variables in measurable terms and also Historical as the historical information is
used for analysis and interpretation.
A. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Several investors have gained as well as lost in the stock market. There are two way
of determining the stock price, one is fundamental analysis, which believes that the price of
stock is determined by certain basic economic factors and economic fundamentals and
other way is technical analysis, which involves a methodology for forecasting fluctuations
in prices of individual securities or portfolios of securities.
It is said that market index is mirror image of the economy i.e., market index reflects
the performance of different securities and economic factors.
So the statement of problem is to identify whether security moves with the market
index and is there any relationship in between nifty and selected economic factors such as
Net FII Investment, Gold prices and RE-$ exchange rate.
B. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
The research is confined to the study of performance of selected securities and

selected economic factors in comparison with the market index nifty. Performance will be
assessed by using statistical tools correlation and regression analysis. Five sectors are
selected for the study purpose. Three companies on the basis of total traded volume are
selected from each of the five sector. These selected companies are listed in the national

stock exchange. Other than that economic factors selected for the study purpose are Net
Foreign Institutional Investment, gold prices and Re-$ exchange rates.For the study purpose
weekend figures of the above mentioned factors are taken from Jan 20010 to Dec 20010.
C.SAMPLING DESIGN
Sample size
Sectors selected- 5
Companies selected from each sector- 3
Total companies selected- 15
Total economic factors selected- 3 (Net FII investment, Gold prices, Re-$ exchange rate).
52 weekend figures for the year 2010 of the above mentioned variables are taken for the
study.
Selection of sample
Three companies are selected from five different sectors. These companies are
selected on the basis of total traded volume during the year 2010. Also three economic
factors namely fIIs, gold prices and RE-$ exchange rate are selected.
Collection of data
The data required for understanding are collected from secondary source. They are
collected through stock brokers websites, newspapers and journals.
D. RESEARCH OBJECTIVE
The main objective of the study is to test the performance of selected securities and
selected economic factors in comparison with market index nifty. The research is to know
whether security prices are the reflection of market index and whether any relationship
exists between market index and economic factors. With this, the research deals with
following objectives:-

 To understand the performance of selected securities.

 To study securities in comparison with market index.
 To determine whether investors can invest in security by tracing market
indices.
 To study economic factors in comparison with market index.
 To find out any relationship exists between market index and selected
economic factors.
E. TECHNIQUES AND TOOLS USED.
Tools used for the study purpose are:-
 Correlation
 Regression analysis.
Correlation:
The Correlation is a statistical tool which studies the relationship between two
variables and Correlation Analysis involves various methods and techniques used for
studying and measuring the extent of the relationship between the two variables.
• Positive Correlation: If the values of the two variables deviate in the same direction
i.e., if the increase in the values of one variable results in a corresponding increase in
the values of the other variable or vice versa is referred to as Positive Correlation.
• Negative Correlation: If the values of the two variables moves in the opposite
direction i.e., the increase in the values of one variable results in a corresponding
decrease in the values of the other variables. Or vice versa is referred to as Negative
Correlation.
• Karl Pearson’s formula for correlation coefficient is given by
• r =1 / n ∑( x −x )( y − y ) / σ xσ y
• Where r is the sample correlation coefficient between x and y,

• σx and σ y are the standard deviations of x and y respectively.
• 1 / n∑( x −x )( y − y ) is known as the covariance between x and y.
• r is also called Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient.
Regression analysis
Regression analysis is a technique used for the modeling and analysis of numerical
data consisting of values of a dependent variable (response variable) and of one or more
independent variables (explanatory variables). The dependent variable in the regression
equation is modeled as a function of the independent variables, corresponding parameters
("constants"), and an error term. The error term is treated as a random variable. It represents
unexplained variation in the dependent variable. The parameters are estimated so as to give
a "best fit" of the data. Most commonly the best fit is evaluated by using the least squares
method, but other criteria have also been used. Data modeling can be used without there
being any knowledge about the underlying processes that have generated the data, in this
case the model is an empirical model. Moreover, in modelling knowledge of the probability
distribution of the errors is not required. Regression analysis requires assumptions to be
made regarding probability distribution of the errors. Statistical tests are made on the basis
of these assumptions. In regression analysis the term "model" embraces both the function
used to model the data and the assumptions concerning probability distributions. Regression
can be used for prediction (including forecasting of time-series data), inference, hypothesis
testing, and modeling of causal relationships. These uses of regression rely heavily on the
underlying assumptions being satisfied. Regression analysis has been criticized as being
misused for these purposes in many cases where the appropriate assumptions cannot be
verified to hold. One factor contributing to the misuse of regression is that it can take
considerably more skill to critique a model than to fit a model.
Underlying assumptions:
The sample must be representative of the population for the inference prediction.
The dependent variable is subject to error. This error is assumed to be a random variable,

with a mean of zero. Systematic error may be present but its treatment is outside the scope
of regression analysis.
The independent variable is error-free. If this is not so, modelling should be done using
Errors-in-variables model techniques.
The predictors must be linearly independent, i.e. it must not be possible to express any
predictor as a linear combination of the others..
The errors are uncorrelated, that is, the variance-covariance matrix of the errors is diagonal
and each non-zero element is the variance of the error.
The variance of the error is constant (homoscedasticity). If not, weights should be used. The
errors follow a normal distribution. If not, the generalized linear model should be used

2.2 BRIEF INTRODUCTION OF THE SELECTED 15 COMPANIES.
BANKING SECTOR
Without a sound and effective banking system in India, there cannot be a healthy
economy. The banking system of India should not only be hassle free but it should be able
to meet new challenges posed by technology and any other external and internal factors
For the study purpose three banks are selected for research. The three banks are Axis
bank, ICICI bank, and State Bank Of India.

Axis Bank was the first of the new private banks to have begun operations in 1994,
after the Government of India allowed new private banks to be established. The Bank was
promoted jointly by the Administrator of the specified undertaking of the Unit Trust of
India (UTI - I), Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) and General Insurance
Corporation of India (GIC) and other four PSU insurance companies, i.e. National
Insurance Company Ltd., The New India Assurance Company Ltd., The Oriental
Insurance Company Ltd. and United India Insurance Company Ltd. The Bank today is
capitalized to the extent of Rs. 358.56 crores with the public holding (other than promoters)
at 57.60
ICICI Bank is India's second-largest bank with total assets of Rs. 3,997.95 billion
(US$ 100 billion) at March 31, 2008 and profit after tax of Rs. 41.58 billion for the year
ended March 31, 2008. ICICI Bank is second amongst all the companies listed on the Indian
stock exchanges in terms of free float market capitalization. The Bank has a network of
about 1,308 branches and 3,950 ATMs in India and presence in 18 countries.
Securities business

 Ranked first in terms of amount raised through domestic offerings during CY2007
 India’s largest online trading platform with about 1.4 million customers
 Ranked first in terms of amount raised through domestic offerings during CY2007

State Bank of India (SBI) was nationalized in July 1955 under the SBI Act of 1955.
The seven subsidiary banks of SBI were nationalized on 19th July, 1960. The State Bank
of India is India's largest commercial bank and is ranked as one of the top five banks
worldwide. It serves 90 million customers through a network of 9,000 branches and it
offers either directly or through subsidiaries a wide range of banking services.
The SBI Edge
Commanding unsurpassed respect and legacy in the Indian financial expanse, the
SBI is committed to offering financial solutions that extract maximum value from business
and market situations.
While the bank is strongly positioned to structure financial packages that anticipate
the changing business environment, its vast network in the world ensures delivery channels
of unmatched reach, both in India and abroad.
PARMACEUTICAL SECTOR
The government started to encourage the growth of drug manufacturing by Indian

companies in the early 1960s, and with the Patents Act in 1970, enabled the industry to
become what it is today. This Patent Act removed composition patents from food and drugs,
and though it kept process patents, these were shortened to a period of five to seven years.
The lack of patent protection made the Indian market undesirable to the multinational
companies that had dominated the market, and while they streamed out, Indian companies
started to take their places. They carved a niche in both the Indian and world markets with
their expertise in reverse-engineering new processes for manufacturing drugs at low costs
For the study purpose three pharmaceutical companies are selected for research. The
three pharmaceutical companies are Cipla Ltd, Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd, Sun
Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
Cipla
Cipla, is a prominent Indian pharmaceutical company, best-known outside its home

country for manufacturing low-cost anti-AIDS drugs for HIV-positive patients in

diabetes, weight control, depression and many other health conditions, and its products are
[1]
distributed in more than 180 countries worldwide. Among the hundreds of generic
medications it produces for international distribution are atorvastatin, amlodipine,
fluoxetine, venlafaxine hydrochloride and metformin. Recently, Cipla sold the
manufacturing rights of its high-end emergency contraceptive pill, I-pill, to its pharma field
counterpart Nicholas Piramal (Piramal Healthcare) for Rs. 95 crores. Cipla earned a revenue
of total Rs. 33 crores (approx.) from the sales of their popular contraceptive pill, to date.
Ranbaxy is one of the leading pharma companies in India commanding a market

share of 5.07%. (Source: ORG-IMS, March, 2007). The company has clocked sales of US$
286 mn (2006) registering a growth of over 17%. Growing ahead of the market the
company has enhanced its competitive position in the domestic market through its focused
approach. The company’s business has been realigned to its customer groups and
investments have been made in high growth segments. These efforts have resulted in
strengthening its chronic franchise (Life Style led) as well as reinforced its leading position
in the acute segment. In the NDDS segment, Ranbaxy is the market leader with 7.9%
market share and its NDDS product portfolio contributes to about 9% of its total turnover.

The above table shows the correlation in between nifty and selected securities.
Almost all the securities are positively correlated except Bharti Airtel. Among them only
two securities TCS and Reliance Communications have low degree of positive correlation
with nifty and all others have high degree of correlation.
This shows that, with the increase in the value of these securities nifty value also
increases and with the decrease in the value of these securities nifty value also decreases.
But in case of Bharti Airtel this is opposite, with the increase in its share value nifty value
decreases and vice-versa.

Interpretation of the above table
Nifty and FII
 There is a significant relationship between nifty and FII at 0.01 level
 Correlation in between nifty and FII is 0.469.
 Therefore there is a positive correlation in between these variables.
 Coefficient of determination r² is 0.219961. r²*100=21.99%
 Therefore from the above we can interprete that change in FII flows have 21.99%
effect on the nifty values.
 To illustrate if net FII investment increases then nifty value may increase by
21.99%.
Nifty and Gold Price.

 There is a significant relationship between nifty and gold price at 0.01 level
 Correlation in between nifty and gold price is 0.638.
 Therefore there is a positive correlation in between these variables.
 Coefficient of determination r² is 0.407044. r²*100=40.70%.
 Therefore from the above we can interprete that change in gold prices have 40.7%
effect on the nifty values.
 To illustrate if gold prices increases then nifty value may increase by 40.7%.
Nifty and Re-$ Exchange Rate.
 There is a significant relationship between nifty and Re-$ Exchange rate at 0.01
level
 Correlation in between nifty and Re-$ Exchange rate is -0.852.
 Therefore there is a negative correlation in between these variables.
 If it is interpreted further it shows that, when nifty value increases, RE-$ exchange
rate (in absolute figures) decreases. Decrease in Re-$ exchange rate means rupee is
strengthening against the dollar. From this we can say that if rupee strengthens
against the dollar then nifty value increases.
 Coefficient of determination r² is 0.725904. r²*100=72.59%.
 Therefore from the above we can interprete that change in Re-$ exchange rate have
72.59% effect on the nifty value.
 To illustrate if Re strengthens against the dollar then the nifty value may increase
by 72.59%.
Relationship in between independent variables
FII and Gold Price

 There is no significant relationship between FII and gold price because significant
level is not less than 0.05.
 Correlation in between FII and gold price is 0.181.
 Therefore there is a positive correlation in between these variables
FII and RE-$ Exchange rate
 There is a significant relationship between FII and Re-$ Exchange rate at 0.05 level
 Correlation in between FII and Re-$ Exchange rate is -0.307.

 Therefore there is a negative correlation in between these variables
Gold Price and Re-$ Exchange rate
 There is a significant relationship between gold price and Re-$ Exchange rate at
0.01 level
 Correlation in between gold price and Re-$ Exchange rate is -0.583.

 Therefore there is a negative correlation in between these variables

RE-$ Ex rate -352.288 43.258 -.657 -8.144 .000
a. Dependent Variable: Nifty
Interpretation of the above table:

The above table can be explained with the help of the following regression equation:
Y=a+b1X1+b2X2+b3X3
Where, a= constant
B1, b2 and b3 are beta values.
X1, X2, X3 are variables.
Y is dependant variable nifty.
Applying values to the above equation:

Y=18483.250+0.229(FII)+0.214(Gold Price)-0.657(Re-$ exchange rate).
With the above equation it can be interpreted as follows:

 With a beta of -0.657 Re-$ exchange rate has negative and high impact effect on
nifty than other two variables
 Here minus sign indicates that, when nifty value increases, RE-$ exchange rate (in
absolute figures) decreases. Decrease in Re-$ exchange rate means rupee is
strengthening against the dollar. From this we can say that if rupee strengthens
against the dollar then nifty value increases.

 Beta figures of Net FII(0.229) and gold price(0.214) indicates that, net FII
investment has high impact on nifty than gold price
FINDINGS
Findings:
 Out of 15 securities selected for comparison 14 securities have positive correlation

with market index nifty.
 Only one security i.e., Bharti Airtel is negatively correlated with nifty, with r value
of -0.5633.
 Almost all the securities have high degree of positive correlation with nifty.
 TCS and Reliance Communications have low degree of positive correlation with
nifty, with r value of 0.47 and 0.44 respectively.
 So nifty value moves with prices of the securities.
 There exists the strong relationship in between nifty values and Gold Prices with a
correlation of 0.638.
 There exists the strong relationship in between nifty values and Re-$ exchange Rate
with a correlation of -0.852.
 There exists the relationship in between nifty values and Net FII investment, but it is
not so strong as the correlation in between them is 0.469.
 Effect of net FII investment on nifty value is positive i.e., more FII inflows and more
FII net investment has led to the increase in the nifty value.
 Effect of gold prices on nifty value is positive i.e., increase in the value of gold
prices has led to the increase in nifty values.
 There is a high degree of negative correlation in between nifty values and Re-$
exchange rates. But it shows that appreciation in the Rupee against the dollar has led
to the increase in the nifty values.

RECOMMENDATIONS & SUGGESTIONS.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
 Investor can analyse the performance of securities which are usually traded at high
volume, by observing the market index.
 The investor can decide whether to invest in the particular securities by checking the
movement of the market index.
 It is recommended that since the Net FII investment has a positive effect on share
prices and nifty the government should encourage their investment which inturn
boost the economy.
 Rupee-dollar exchange rate have a positive effect on the share prices and nifty. But
the correlation in between these two is negative. So these factors need to be
considered while making investment in shares.
 If FII starts selling shares it is better to exit and vice-versa.
 Re-Dollar exchange rate affect the share market the most which inturn affected by
FII flows. So close examination of these factors have to be made while making
investment.
 Investors should consider other factors also while investing in the stock market apart
from the macro-economic factors while are discussed in the project work.

CONCLUSION
Conclusion:
From the study conducted, it is found that almost all the share prices show high
positive correlation with the nifty index. Observing over all performances an investor who
wants to buy shares can track the NIFTY index and do so.
The present study examines the relationship between nifty and economic factors.
During the past one year there have been several ups and downs in the Indian stock market
and foreign portfolio investment patterns.
FIIs are more attracted for investing' (they buy heavily). The reverse happens (FIIs
sell heavily) when market capitalization is low. When FII s are net buyers, prices and
trading volume both go up thereby increasing the market capitalization. On the other hand
heavy selling by FIIs brings down the market capitalization by reduced trading volume
and/or share prices.
Likewise gold prices and Re-$ exchange rate have high degree of relationship with
market index nifty. But these factors are also indirectly affected by other factors. So those
factors are also to be considered while making investment.
Finally it can be concluded that volatility of nifty is due to the changes in the share
prices of different securities and movement of different economic factors. So an investor
while making investment has to consider all these factors.
