Abstract

In this paper, we use monthly data from 1992 to 2022 and a structural VAR model to investigate the effects of oil supply shocks, aggregate demand shocks, and oil-specific demand shocks in the global crude oil market on the Canadian stock market. Our analysis reveals that these shocks affect the S&P/TSX Composite Index and various sector-specific indices in different ways. Specifically, the response of the Canadian market to oil-specific demand shocks diverges notably from the U.S. market, highlighting Canada’s unique position as an oil-exporting country. In the long run, oil price shocks account for over 10% of the variation in the composite index and as much as 35% in the Energy sector index.
