The Effect of Conventional Monetary Policy on Stock Market Prices in Sweden: Stock Market Reaction to Announcements of Repo Rate Changes Made by the Swedish Central Bank

Abstract [en]

The reaction of asset prices to monetary policy is essential for investors andpolicymakers. However, previous research on the area in Sweden is limited, and there isno evidence of any impact on stock market prices from repo rate changes. This study estimates how stock market indices respond to repo rate changes, including different sector indices. The repo rate is the primary interest rate tool for the Swedish central bank. The utilised methodology is based on previous studies and follows a regression methodology. The paper's findings are that some sectoral stock market indices are affected by changes in repo rate. Bank and Financial sector indexes are positivelyaffected, while Health, Technology, Construction & Materials, Mid Cap, Small Cap,and Financial Services indices are negative. The result is estimated using two different variables for expectations of repo rate changes. The results are justified using a larger sample, including all monetary policy meetings. The results do only have a slight change in coefficients. This paper can be used to further investigate the impact of monetary policy on asset prices in Sweden.
