Abstract

A few studies have been conducted to present the impact that COVID-19 has had on the cost of mobile markets. The objective was to use rolling quantile and quantile on quantile strategies to report the quantile elements between COVID 19 and stock markets using daily data of COVID-19 cases, COVID-19 deaths and stock market ranging from 1st March 2020 to July 31, 2020 to estimate the relative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on stock market performance in these countries. Quantile cointegration demonstrate that inventory costs are installed with COVID-19 cases, while QQRs show a weak positive relationship at upper quantiles of inventory costs, and a strong negative consequence is observed at lower quantiles of inventory costs. Overall, our posterior estimates show that in relative terms, stock market performance in Africa has reduced significantly during COVID-19. We view that, during our example period, there is basically no chance that the COVID-19 pandemic will significantly affect stock exchange execution in Africa. The experimental results demonstrated that the relapse coefficients of the quantile of financial exchanges changed with COVID-19 cases over the long term and were generally huge for countries without guarantees (5 countries among the 8 countries); furthermore, the results showed that COVID-19 cases can influence the stock market in certain quantiles. Our discoveries add to the conversation and examination on the monetary effect of the COVID-19 pandemic by giving exact proof that the pandemic has limiting consequences for financial exchange execution in African economies. A quantile-on-quantile survey found that the impacts of COVID-19 on market actions differed across quantiles and were heterogeneous and dynamic.
