Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between oil price and stock market. Granger Causality is applied on daily data during March 1998 to December 2005 to determine the relationship between oil prices and stock returns. The empirical results indicate that no significant effect of oil prices is found on stock returns. The reasons are more use of gas and increase the liquidity in Pakistan. However, we found the positive significant relation of stock prices and volume and gas prices. This study also found no relation between news and stock returns and no day of the week effect.
