Abstract

This study examines the influence of goods and money

market indicators on the performance of the Nigerian

stock market index from 1985 to 2021 using

Autoregressive Distributed Lag model. The findings

demonstrate that goods market indicators such as

domestic savings and government spending have a

strong positive effect on the performance of the stock

market index, but domestic investment has a negative

influence on the performance of the stock market index.

This is because majority of the investors in goods market

are financially excluded and have no access to formal

financial system. The results of the money market reveal

that there is a considerable positive relationship

between interest rates and the stock market index. This

study recommends that domestic savings and

government expenditure should be increased. Further,

the regulatory agency should raise interest rate to a

level that benefits both investors and financial

institutions.
