Abstract

The country’s economy is strongly influenced by investment, so it is important to identify the factors that determine investors’ choices to invest in certain areas, which means it is important to anticipate how to create favorable economic, social, legal and other investment conditions to attract investment. The situation of stock markets during COVID-19 has only once again shown the important role that stock markets play for national economies. Numerous scientific sources describe how stock markets work in relation to the global economy, but do not make enough suggestions or conduct sufficient research to decide how to successfully forecast stock markets in the face of increasing globalization. After the analysis of the scientific literature and the correlation analysis, the aim will be to identify the peculiarities of the signals affecting the behavior of the stock market, and what importance they may have in proper investment management. The study will use global annual growth rates for the healthcare and technology sectors and the annual return funds: SEB Medical Fund and SEB Technology Fund. The correlation analysis will use 5-year data to determine whether growth in different sectors can be signals in stock market forecasting and will be used in planned further research using artificial intelligence techniques.
