The question of whether the stock market can predict the economy has been widely debated. Those who support the market s predictive ability argue that the stock market is forward looking and current prices reflect the future earnings potential, or profitability of firms. Since stock prices reflect expectations about profitability and profitability is directly linked to economic activity, fluctuations in stock prices are thought to lead the direction of the economy. In this study, a multiple regression analysis is applied in order to model the long term relationship between macroeconomic variables (Inflation rate, interest rate, and exchange rate) and stock prices (All shares index) in Nigeria. Our estimation reveals that only exchange rate was significant while interest rate and inflation rate were not significant in estimating All share index for the period under study. Furthermore, our results also shows that there was high correlation coefficient between All share index and macroeconomics variables. It was also observed that 54.2% of the total variation in the All share index can be explained by the inflation rate, interest rate and Exchange rate.

Moreover, it is also agreed that the linkage is two ways that is; feedback exists between the stock market and real activity. The question of whether the stock market can predict the economy has been widely debated. Those who support the market s predictive ability argue that the stock market is forward looking and current prices reflect the future earnings potential, or profitability of firms. Since stock prices reflect expectations about profitability and profitability is directly linked to economic activity, fluctuations in stock prices are thought to lead the direction of the economy. The characteristics which all stock market have in common are the uncertainty which is related with the short and long term future state. This feature is undesirable for the investor but it is also unavoidable whenever the stock market is selected as the investment tool. The best that one can do is to try to reduce this uncertainty. Stock market prediction (or forecasting) through macroeconomic variables is one of the instruments in the process. The stock market prediction task divides researcher and academics into two groups: those who believe that we can devise mechanisms to predict the market and those who believe that the market is efficient and whenever new information comes up the market absorbs it by correcting itself, thus there is no place for prediction. Furthermore, they believe that the stock market follows a random walk which implies that the best prediction you can have about tomorrow s value is today s value. The finance and economic literatures have been devoted to studies on the relationship between stock market returns and macroeconomic variables in developed economies, with little or no attempt in unfolding this relationship in a developing economy like Nigeria. This study therefore attempts to examine the relationship (if any) between economic fundamentals and stock prices in Nigeria. Researchers to a large extent focus on studying the interactions between the financial and macroeconomic variables on stock markets in different countries with widespread econometric methods. However, very little has been conducted in Nigeria and this study seeks to analyze specifically the relationship that exist among the highly

LITERATURE REVIEW The dynamic relationship between macroeconomic variables and share returns have been widely discussed and debated. Several studies have investigated the relationship between stock prices and level of economic activities in developed countries. Studies on non- US markets have mostly been based on the (Chen et al., 1986) approach. Hamao (1988) tested the Japanese market and found strong pricing evidence except for the case of Japanese monthly production. (Kwon and Shin, 1999) applied Engle-Granger co integration and the Granger- causality tests from the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and found that the Korean stock market is co integrated with a set of macroeconomic variables. Poon and Taylor (1991) are also unable to explain stock returns in the UK by factors used by (Chen et al., 1986). Kaneko and Lee (1995) have reexamined the US and Japanese markets by employing the (Chen et al. 1986) factors to evaluate the effects of systematic economic news on stock market returns. Since there exists a long-term relationship between the changes in stock prices and leading economic variables as indicated by many finance experts. Fama (1981) documents a strong positive correlation between common stock returns and real economic variables like capital expenditures, industrial production, real GNP, money supply, exchange rate, inflation and interest rates. Chen et al (1986) found that changes in aggregate production, inflation, short term interest rates and risk premium are the economic factors which explain and predict stock prices. Sill (1995) documents that the industrial production output, T-bill rate and inflation are statistically significant in explaining the US stock market excess returns. In addition, the conditional variance - covariance of macroeconomic factor are important drivers of the conditional stock return volatility Solnik (1987) studied the effect of a number of variables including exchange rate, interest rate and changes in inflation expectations and stock prices. The study utilised data from nine developed economies, namely, the US, Japan, Germany, France, the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada and the Netherlands. Among the findings of the study was that a fall in the exchange rate impacted positively on the US stock market as against changes in inflation expectations. Adjasi and Biekpe (2005) investigated the relationship between stock market returns and exchange rate movements in seven African countries. Cointegration tests showed that in the long-run exchange depreciation leads to increases in stock market prices in some of the countries, and in the short-run exchange rate depreciations reduce stock market returns. Subair and Salihu (2010) employed a data set comprising annual stock market capitalization, GDP, inflation rate, IR and EXR volatility for the period between Through the ECM, the study investigated the effects of EXR volatility on the Nigeria stock markets. It was found that the EXR volatility exerts a stronger negative 20 impact on the Nigeria Stock markets. However the rate of inflation and interest rate did not have long run relationship with stock market capitalization since the major participants in the market is the government. They further concluded that, the EXR volatility has a very serious implication on the Nigeria Stock market thus for any serious development of the stock market there is a need to stabilize the movement of the EXR. METHODOLOGY In statistics, regression analysis is a statistical process for estimating the relationship between variables. It includes many techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables when the focus is on the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. The linear multiple regression model estimates is: Y = β 0 + β 1 X i + β 2 X 2 + β 3 X 3 + e Where Y is the All share index (dependent variable) X 1 is the Inflation Rate X 2 is the Exchange Rate X 3 is the Interest rate Β 0 is the Y-intercept e is the random error component. For ease of computation, the model is estimated in the vector-matrix notation shown below.

ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE (ANOVA) ESTIMATION The regression sum of squares (SSR) is given by: SSR = (yi y) 2 = b 1 x 1 y -1 / n (y 1 uuy) Where u is an n x 1 unit vector, the error sum of squares (ESS) is given by ESS = (yi y) 2 = y 1 y 1/n ( y 1 uu 1 y) = SSR + ESS ANOVA TABLE SOURCE OF VARIATION df SS MS F-RATIO REGRESSION P-1 SSR SSR/(P-1) MSR/MSE ERROR n-p ESS ESS/(n-p) TOTAL n-1 TSS F 0 = MSR/MSE against F α (v 1 v 2) Decision rule: if F 0 F α (p 1, n-p), reject H 0 ADEQUACY TEST FOR REGRESSION MODEL a. Coefficient of Determination (R 2 ) The value of R 2 measures the percentage / ratio of the total variability in the dependent variable explained by the explanatory variables altogether.

Residual Analysis Residual analysis is helpful in checking the assumption that the errors are normally independent distributed with mean zero and variance δ 2 i.e. ᶓ NID (0, δ 2 ) and in determining if additional terms in the model would be useful. ᶓ = y xb. c. Approximate Check of Normality A frequency histogram of the residuals or normal probability plot constructed will show normality or otherwise. Residuals are plotted in time sequence i. Against fitted values y The standardized residuals is D = ᶓ MSE For an NID (0, δ 2 ), approximate 95 % of the standardized residuals falls in the interval (-2, +2). ii. Plotting the residual against the previous residuals i.e. lagging.

CHECKING THE MODEL VALIDITY The model validity is checked using the confidence interval includes zero, then the parameter can be removed from the model. Hence, a new regression model excluding that parameter would need to be performed and continued until there are no more parameters to remove. RESULTS The data used in this research work was collected from CBN Statistical Bulletin (2010). The data covers a period of twentyfour (24) years. The data was analyzed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS17.0) employing the tool of multiple regression analysis as discussed in the methodology.

R (0.736) which is the correlation coefficient, meaning, there is high correlation between the dependent variable (All share index) and the independent variables (inflation rate, Exchange rate and interest rate). Also, the Adjusted co-efficient of determination which is frequently used to described the goodness of fit or the amount of variability explained by a given set of explanatory variables. In our study, Adjusted R 2 value was 0.477, which indicates that 47.7% of the variability in the dependent variable is explained by the independent variables while the remaining 52.3% is explained by the elements not included in the model but are taken care of by the stochastic error term ε The model fitted was All Share Index = Inflation rate Exchange rate Interest rate CONCLUDING OBSERVATION Premised on our findings we conclude that there was high correlation between the macroeconomics variables and stock market returns and it was also observe that there was a linear relationship between the macroeconomics variables and stock market returns between the years 1986 to A lot of studies have been done on the relationship between macroeconomic variables and stock market prices in previous years. A few studies have investigated the relationships between exchange rate and stock price across a range of countries, with mixed conclusions. (Solnik,1987) finds a significantly positive relationship between stock prices and exchange rates and this result is consistent with (Ajayi and Mougoue, 1996) The main thrust of this paper is an empirical investigation of the relationship between the stock market returns and some major macroeconomics factors as reflected in the general business and financial conditions evidence from Nigeria. The results and findings of our study corroborated the findings of other studies in similar areas. Although it is now well recognized that stock market returns react to fluctuations in macroeconomic variables, any definite prediction of the relationships between the expected risk factors is difficult if not impossible. However our results will help investors and portfolio managers deepen their understanding of the risk-return relationship, pricing of macroeconomic risk as well as diversification implications in Nigerian stock market. Additionally, policy makers may play a major role in influencing the expected risk premium and volatility on stock markets through the use of macroeconomic policy. One of the limitations of the study is that we have used four macroeconomic variables only. so further research needs to be explored by including more macroeconomic variables to know the relationships between these factors and the nature of stock market volatility. Secondly, it is also possible that the macroeconomic variables have different impact on stock market volatility depending on the trading mechanisms and regulatory environments.
