by crude oil futures prices is similarly small, while
crude oil futures prices explain more strongly the
volatility of CSI Auto Allocation and CSI
Transportation, indicating that crude oil futures
prices have a stronger impact on the Auto Allocation
and Transportation sectors. Conversely, the volatility
of international crude oil futures prices was less
strongly explained by the Chinese stock market
composite index and industry indices.
After testing the existence of a long-run
equilibrium relationship between the variables, in
order to investigate the speed of adjustment of the
variables when they deviate from the stochastic trend,
this paper constructs an error correction model
through a first-order linear autoregressive
distribution lag model. The ECM model based on
cointegration theory is built according to the E-G
two-step method for the group of variables that do not
have Granger two-way causality. In the ECM model,
all error correction coefficients are negative,
indicating that the stock market has a reverse
correction function. The results obtained for each
variable group are relatively similar, with the
absolute values of the error correction coefficients
being small, implying that the backward adjustment
of the error correction term is limited if the current
period's volatility deviates from the long-term
equilibrium, i.e. the error in crude oil futures prices
has a small and weak adjustment to the volatility of
the current period's explanatory variables. The results
of the parametric tests show that the adjustment
coefficients of crude oil futures prices on the
volatility of other industry indices are insignificant,
except for China Industry and Russian Energy,
indicating that China Industry and Russian Energy
are correlated with international crude oil futures
prices in the long run.
5 CONCLUSIONS
The crude oil futures market could reflect the
economic situation. This paper finds that the Russian
composite stock index is more influenced by the
international crude oil futures prices and the
effectiveness of the Russian stock market is more
pronounced. The fluctuation of international crude
oil futures price explains more strongly the
fluctuation of RTS index. The empirical results show
that the sensitivity to information, reaction speed and
digestion cycle of the composite stock index and
sector index of the Chinese stock market are weaker
than those of the Russian stock market. Therefore, the
relevant regulators of China's stock market should
strengthen the monitoring of large capital flows to
eliminate malicious manipulation of stock prices. In
the short term, the rise in international crude oil
futures prices will increase the volatility of the
Shanghai Stock Exchange Index, the China Industrial
Sector Index and the Russian Energy Sector Index; in
the long term, all indices show a cointegration
relationship with international crude oil futures
prices. Thus, stabilizing international crude oil
futures prices has a positive effect on stabilizing
stock prices. The government needs more to prevent
speculative behaviour and sound financial regulatory
system.
