Monthly data points spanning a period from 2012 to 2019 has been used for the empirical investigation. The results of the model indicate that long-term interest rate (LTINT), consumer price index (CPI), and Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) are found to be significant while index of industrial production (IIP) and foreign exchange (FX) are insignificant. Also, the value or r-square indicates that 93% of the variation in the dependent variable is explained by the selected independent variables. Also, the dataset was checked for normality and linearity using appropriate graphs. The results of this paper will be of immense use for the investors in predicting the stock price movement.

2. Literature Review

This study carries out a comprehensive literature review on both developed and emerging economies. While most of the research work has been done to analyze the impact of different variables on stock indices, macroeconomic variables have emerged as potentially significant indicators to explain the movements in stock indices. Therefore, we have identified 5 factors (macroeconomic variables) viz. Foreign Exchange (FX), Index of Industrial Production (IIP), inflation, Long Term Interest Rate (LTINT), Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) world index as the most common factors to work upon.
