Abstract

This study is about to analyze the nexus between stock exchange index and exchange rates. Secondary data, namely the daily Dhaka Stock Exchange General Index and the BDT/USD Exchange Rates data from December 02, 2012 to April 30, 2012 are used for the study perpose. The findings of this study revealed that 73.1802% of the variation in DSE general index returns is explained by the BDT/USD exchange rates returns which imply that there is a strong nexus between these two financial series. LM test’s outcomes indicate that there is a serial correlation at order 1; historical figures of the residuals can be applied to predict the present values of residuals. ARCH test illustrates that the residuals are hete-roskedastic; and variance of residuals is not constant. Normality test of the distribution of the residuals shows that the resi-duals are normally distributed.
