The impact of inflation reports on the Stockholm Stock Exchange : An Event Study investigating the effects on OMXSPI (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Tidigare forskning har påvisat signifikanta samband mellan inflation och aktiemarknaden, däremot rådde det brist på sådana studier som undersökt den svenska marknaden. Denna studie har undersökt hur inflationsrapporter påverkar den svenska aktiemarknaden på kort sikt, med fokus på OMXSPI. Genom tillämpning av den effektiva marknadshypotesen analyserades marknadens respons på inflationsnyheter från Statistiska centralbyrån (SCB).

Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka om inflationsrapporter hade påverkan på Stockholmsbörsens prissättning, samt om OMXSPI följde den semi-starka formen av den effektiva marknadshypotesen.

Metod: En kvantitativ eventstudie genomfördes. Undersökningen såg till den förväntade inflationen minus den faktiskt rådande för att få fram inflationschocker. Genom eventstudie utlästes sedan chockernas eventuella påverkan. Studien använde sig utav en deduktiv forskningsansats.

Teori: Studien utgick ifrån den effektiva marknadshypotesen men även den motsägande teorin Behavioural finance, som även kompletterades med tidigare forskning inom området.

Slutsatser: Studien fann inget signifikant samband mellan inflationsrapporter och prissättningen på Stockholmsbörsens index. Analys av resultaten pekade på att den svenska aktiemarknaden antingen följde den svaga formen av den effektiva marknadshypotesen eller att det förelåg övertro hos investerare på marknaden, som minskade värdet på ny information i form av oförväntad inflation.

Abstract [en]

Background: Previous research has shown significant correlations between inflation and the stock market; however, there was a lack of such studies examining the Swedish market. This study aimed to investigate how unexpected inflation reported affected the Swedish stock market in the short term, focusing on OMXSPI. By applying the Efficient Market Hypothesis, the market’s response to inflation news from Statistics Sweden (SCB) were analyzed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether inflations reports impacted the pricing of the Stockholm Stock Exchange, and whether OMXSPI followed the semi-strong form of the Efficient Market Hypothesis. 

Methodology: A quantitative event study has been conducted. The investigation considered expected inflation minus the actual prevailing inflation to determine inflation shocks. The potential impact of these shocks has then been analyzed through the event study. The study has utilized a deductive research approach.

Theory: The study was based on the Efficient Market Hypothesis but also the opposing theory of Behavioral Finance, supplemented by previous research in the field. 

Conclusions: The study found no significant relationship between inflation reports and pricing on the Stockholm Stock Exchange index. The analysis of the results suggested that the Swedish stock market either followed the weak form of the Efficient Market Hypothesis or that there was an investor overconfidence in the market, which reduced the value of new information in form of unexpected inflation.
