    '% Introd"ction0cademic community has long been interested in the connection between the

    &inancial markets and the economy. he recent decline in global economic acti%ity due to

    subprime crisis has again intensi&ied study on the relationship between both &inancial indexes

    and macroeconomic per&ormance. 0gainst the background o& e&&icient market hypothesis

    which denote that asset prices should &ollow a random walk or at least be undpredictable, the

    existence o& predictability pattern o& stock market indexes has been considered &ascinating.

    he common approach in the dynamic analysis between &inancial market and

    macroeonomy used ector 0uto 2egressi%e #02$ to study the e&&ect o& many

    macroeconomic inno%ations in the pricing o& &inancial market assets. "ost o& the studies in

    this category mainly assume a priori that the direction o& 3indicator power4 comes &rom the

    macroeconomy and goes to the &inancial market.

    Our paper &ocuses on the determinant &actors o& Jakarta Composite Index #JCI$. JCI is

    a modi&ied capitalization(weighted index o& allstocks listed on the regular board o& the

    he existing model explains the relationship between macroeconomic %ariables and

    stock returns &rom the perspecti%e o& discounted &uture cash &lows earned by in%estor o& the

    stock #Chen et al., 1678B :earce and 2oley, 167*B im and Wu, 167?$. In%estors incorporate

    the in&ormation into their estimates o& the appropriate discount rate and the expected &low o&

    di%idend &rom stocks, which in turn a&&ects stock price 9or instance, with the model :5DEt

    !#ct$F#1Gkt$t, changes in systematic shock in&luences the price o& the stock, :5, by the

    expected cash &lows, !#ct$, andFor %ia the re>uired rate o& return, kt. =erde and /aettem

    #1666$ argues the latter #kt$ is related to both the le%el o& discount rates and the term(structure

    spreads across di&&erent maturities, in which the stock market is taken as endogenous.

    he macro %ariables that become the proxies &or measures &or aggregate economic

    acti%ity in this paper are real gross domestic product #':$, industrial production, real

    money supply, real consumption, aggregate &oreign reser%es, interest rate, exchange rate and

    energy price #WI oil spot$, and commodity prices #Crude :alm Oil and old$. he ': and

    Industrial production mainly a&&ects the economic acti%ity by in&luencing the &uture cash

    &lows o& the stock.

    he money supply can a&&ect the stock market in se%eral methods. One way is through

    the port&olio balance model that works through money supply increase that leads to a

    port&olio shi&t &rom non(interest bearing money to &inancial assets including e>uities. In

    addition to that, "oney supply &luctuations can a&&ect the stock market through their e&&ects

    on in&lation uncertainty. Ananticipated in&lation may directly a&&ect real stock prices

    #negati%ely$ through unexpected changes in the price le%el. In&lation uncertainty may also

    a&&ect the discount rate thus reducing the present %alue o& &uture corporate cash &lows. 'e9ina

    #1661$ argued that high in&lation initially has a negati%e e&&ect on corporate income due to

    immediate rising costs and slowly ad=usting output prices, sinking pro&its and there&ore the

    share price. "andelker and andon #167$, 0sprem #1676$, and horbecke #166?$ also

    showed that real e&&ects o& monetary policy a&&ect the stock price signi&icantly. "ore

    speci&ically, :atelis #166?$ propose that money supply shocks in&luence e>uity prices mainly

    %ia the risk premium.

    We hypothesize that interest rate relate negati%ely with stock prices. "easured as

    opportunity cost, the change in nominal interest rate will moti%ate in%estor to substitute

    e>uity shares &or other assets in the port&olio. his increase has negati%e e&&ect on stock prices

    &rom asset port&olio allocation. uisitions

    he exchange rate has indirect impact to stock prices. 0ccording to an et al. #+558$,

    I& the domestic currency depreciates against &oreign currencies, the export price will go down

    and, conse>uently, the %olume o& the countryHs exports will rise, assuming that the demand

    &or this product is elastic. "ukher=ee and ;aka #166$, 0chsani and /trohe #+55+$ con&irmed

    this positi%e relationship existed in Japan and Indonesia. 0dditionally, 0=ayi and "ougoue

    #1668$ also showed that an increase in stock price has a negati%e short(term e&&ect on

    domestic currency %alues but in the long term this e&&ect is positi%e, while currency

    depreciation has a negati%e short and long(term e&&ect on the e>uity prices.

    On the basis o& economic theory, we ha%e two scenarios with regard to the sign o&

    relationship between macro %ariables and stock prices, &irst the &lowHH scenario, which is

    based on the &lowHH approach to exchange rate determination, and the stockHH scenario,

    which is based on the port&olio approach to exchange rate determination. he &lowHH

    scenario depends on two well(documented relationships, the relationship between the real

    exchange rate and economic acti%ity #see e.g. Cornell, 167*B Wol&&, 1677$, whereby a &all in

    the real exchange rate increases the competiti%eness o& domestic goods %ersus &oreign goods

    and the le%el o& domestic aggregate demand and outputB and the relationship between

    economic acti%ity and stock markets #see e.g. /chwert, 1665B 2oll, 166+B Cano%a and

    'e;icolo, 166$.

    he stockHH scenario depends on the port&olio approach to exchange rate

    determination. 0gents allocate their wealth amongst alternati%e assets including domestic

    money, domestic bonds and e>uities, and &oreign securities. he role o& the exchange rate is

    to balance the asset demands and supplies. hus, any change in the demand &or and supply o&

    assets will alter the e>uilibrium exchange rate. 9or example, a rally in the A/ stock market

    will cause Indonesia stock market to rise as a result o& intensi%e trading between Indonesia

    and A/ companies. hat in turn will increase wealth and the demand &or each o& the assets in

    Indonesia #wealth e&&ect$. he excess demand &or IndonesiaHs currency will cause interest

    rates to go up and a substitution &rom &oreign securities to domestic assets resulting in an

    appreciation o& the domestic real exchange rate. he economic currency exposure &or

    indi%idual &irms will depend on the currency structure o& its exports, imports and &inancing.

    'e%aluation can either raise or lower a &irmHs stock prices depending whether the &irm is an

    exporting or importing &irm.

    by other researchers #e.g., "aldanado N /aunders, 1671B !rrunza N 2osenberg, 167+B

    :hilippatos et al., 167*, !un and 2esnick, 167-$.

    he idea that macroeconomic %ariables explained stock prices has &aced many

    contrary arguments recently. /ome researchers argued that stock market mo%ements since the

    mid 1665s could not be explained by economic &undamentals. his idea has emerged a&ter

    A/, !uropean and 0sian markets witnessed unprecedented highs in the mid 1665s but then

    &ollowed by sharp re%erse in the +555s as a result o& excessi%e speculation. 0ccording to

    Carlson and /argent #166?$ and /hiller #+55$, the e>uity prices during the second part o& the

    1665s in the A/ does not happen due to the change in &undamental %alues such as pro=ected

    earnings growth or di%idends but because o& exogenous shocks andFor market irrational

    beha%ior. ee #166, 1667$ and Chung and ee #1667$ supported this %iew and argued that

    &undamental %ariables like discount rates, earnings, di%idends and industrial production did

    not explain price mo%ements. In this case, stock return %ariation a&ter 1665s may not be

    explained by the notion that stock market is the main indicator o& real economic acti%ity

    #9ama, 1665$.

    to explain the breakdown in the linkage between stock returns and real economic acti%ity in

    companies listed in the exchange comprise o& a large number o& export(dependent industry

    that rely on international business cycles and, there&ore, ha%e high &luctuations in their

    pro&itability.

    /econd, a small e>uity market is also prone with manipulation opportunities that do

    not exist in more de%eloped markets, and may draw speculators inside, thereby increasing the

    possibilities o& the market reacting inappropriately to new in&ormation. he obser%ation could

    be explained by both trading noise and the substantial commodity price risk.

    he !C" &ramework we used in this study has ad%antages and shortcomings in

    modelling the relationship between stock prices and macroeconomic %ariables. Wen et al.

    #+51+$ argues that this model is e&&ecti%e because they are &lexible and are able to control &or
