Abstract
In the financial markets, where macroeconomic parameters demonstrate the performance of an economy, stock return variation draws attention to market uncertainty and shifting expectations on industry/company performance. This study looks into the stock return variation of 25 Indian pharmaceutical businesses and macroeconomic factors such as Inflation, Interest rate and IIP before and after the COVID-19 pandemic that erupted in November 2019 using the Granger Causality test and Johansen Co-integration test to study the short-run and long-run interlinkage. The study aids in gaining a better knowledge of the interdependence of stock volatility and macroeconomic conditions to make better investment decisions.
