Abstract

We investigate whether the pandemic announcement and three monetary policies changed after that (reducing target interest rate) have an impact on the return, liquidity, and volatility in the Turkish stock market. We find that there is a negative reaction to the pandemic announcement and the announcement of the first decline in interest rates, but we discover a positive reaction to the second and third reduction in interest rates in terms of stock return and liquidity. Moreover, the stock return and liquidity of firms that are listed on the BIST-100 index and have associated derivatives are affected less by the pandemic. Results also suggest that the smallest, illiquid, volatile, and highly searched companies on Google are affected more by the pandemic announcement and the first decline in the interest rate.

Özet

Bu çalışma da pandemi duyurusu ve sonrasında değişen üç para politikasının (hedef faiz oranının düşürülmesi) Türkiye hisse senedi piyasasında getiri, likidite ve oynaklık üzerinde etkisinin olup olmadığını araştırılmıştır. Pandemi duyurusuna ve faiz oranlarındaki ilk düşüşün duyurusuna hisse senedi piyasasında olumsuz bir tepki olduğunu görülmesine rağmen, faiz oranlarındaki ikinci ve üçüncü düşüşe hisse senedi getirisi ve likidite açısından olumlu bir tepki oluştuğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca BİST-100 endeksinde yer alan ve türev piyasada da işlem gören firmaların hisse senedi getirisi ve likiditesi pandemiden daha az etkilenmiştir. Sonuçlar ayrıca piyasa değeri en az, likit olmayan, volatilitesi yüksek ve Google’da çok aranan şirketlerin pandemi duyurusundan ve faiz oranındaki ilk düşüşten daha fazla etkilendiğini bulunmuştur.
