Öz
This article attempts to examine the integration and efficiency of Indian stock
and foreign exchange markets. The study employed Time series ordinary least square
regression, Unit Root test, Grangers causality test, Vector Auto Regression techniques
on monthly data of stock return and exchange rate return for the period spanning from
February 1995 to March 2005. The major finding of this studyare asfollows. Both the
stock indices return (Rsensex and Rnifty) are near normal whereas exchange rate return
is not normal and more peak. The stock return and exchange rate return are positively
related. The policy implication of this above result of the positive relation between stock
return and exchange rate return for the foreign investors in India should be further
studied. From the Granger's causality test, it is found that there is no causality for the
return series of stock indices and exchange rate except return Nifty and return exchange
rate. Weak form of market efficiency hypothesis is also corroborated for stock and
foreign exchange markets.
