Abstract

The management of expectations is a critical factor in shaping the dynamics of financial markets. Therefore, changes in confidence indices, which reflect the expectations of economic agents, are closely monitored by economists. This study examines the sectoral relationships between the Financial Services Confidence Index and stock market returns in Turkey for the period from June 2012 to May 2024. To compare the causality results, the relationships between the variables were analysed using the Toda-Yamamoto (1995) and Hatemi-J (2012) causality tests. According to the results of the Toda-Yamamoto (1995) causality test, no causality relationship was found between the Financial Services Confidence Index and the Borsa Istanbul (BIST) sector index returns. However, an asymmetric causality relationship was identified between the variables. Thus, it is observed that hidden relationships, which could not be detected by the Toda-Yamamoto (1995) causality test, were revealed through the asymmetric causality test. According to the results of the asymmetric causality test, a causality relationship from the Financial Services Confidence Index to the BIST Financial index returns was found for negative shocks. There is a causality relationship from the BIST Electricity index and the BIST Financial Leasing and Factoring index returns to the Financial Services Confidence Index in both positive and negative shocks. A causality relationship from the BIST Information Technology index and the BIST Technology index returns to the Financial Services Confidence Index was found in positive components. A causality relationship from the BIST Services index and BIST Industrial index returns to the Financial Services Confidence Index was also found among the negative shocks. Considering the results obtained from the study, it can be stated that the Financial Services Confidence Index is a variable that should be considered in terms of changes in financial markets.
