This master thesis examines the role of foreign investors in the Istanbul Stock Exchange in three dimensions: differences among sectors and subsectors in terms of foreign trading activity, the effect of November 2000 ا February 2001 crisis on returns and foreign trading activity, and the relationship between return and foreign trading activity. Data used in this thesis covers 72 months between January 1997 and December 2002. Significant differences among sectors and subsectors in terms of foreign trading activity is found. On the other hand, there is no statistically significant difference in the mean values and variances of returns on the overall market, national sector and most subsector indices before and after the crisis period of November 2000 ا February 2001. However, foreign trading activity has decreased in interest-sensitive and cyclical industries and increased in defensive industries during the recession that follows the crisis. The relationship between return and net foreign trading volume relative to the total trading volume is statistically significant for the overall market and national sectors. Furthermore, we find that the effect of net foreign trading volume relative to the total trading volume on return is larger for stocks included in the ISE-30 index. The mean returns on stocks associated with negative NFV and positive NFV are statistically significantly different from each other. We further find that it is more likely to observe positive (negative) return on a stock when net foreign trading volume in that stock is positive (negative).

Forecasting direction of exchange rate fluctuations with two dimensional patterns and currency strength Özorhan, Mustafa Onur; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2017) This thesis presents a method to predict the direction and magnitude of movement of currency pairs in the foreign exchange market. The method uses clustering and classification methods with a combination of two dimensional chart patterns, processed price data and technical indicator data. The input data is adapted to each trading day with a moving time-frame. The accuracy of the prediction models are tested across several different currency pairs. The experimental results suggest that using two dimensional ...
How does the stock market volatility change after inception of futures trading? Esen, İnci; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2007) As the trading volume in TURKDEX, the first and only options and futures exchange in Turkey, increases, it becomes more important to have an understanding of the effect of stock index futures trading on the underlying spot market volatility. In this respect, this thesis analyzes the effect of ISE-National 30 index futures contract trading on the underlying stocks’ volatility. In this thesis, spot portfolio volatility is decomposed into two components and this decomposition is applied to a single-factor retu...
Stock market liquidity analysis: evidence from the İstanbul Stock Exchange Özdemir, Duygu; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2011) The purpose of this thesis is to identify the factors playing a key role in the determination of the Turkish stock market liquidity in aggregate terms in a time series context and discuss the joint dynamics of the market-wide liquidity with its selected determinants and the trade volume. The main determinants tested are the level of return, the return volatility and the monetary stance of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey. The expected positive relationship between the liquidity and the return is c...
The role of trading volume, open interest and trader positions on volatility transmission between spot and futures markets Ordu-Akkaya, Beyza Mina; Ugurlu-Yildirim, Ecenur; Soytaş, Uğur (2019-06-01) In this paper, we investigate the role of open interest, trading volume and trading positions of trader groups on volatility spillover between futures and spot markets of two major commodities; oil and gold during the last two decades. The initial analysis including only spot and futures markets imply that the relationship is bi-directional for crude oil, and uni-directional for gold. Though, including open interest and trading volume enrich our results indicating open interest and spot markets are closely ...
