Abstract

This paper examines the long-run interactions between South African stock (JSE) and real estate markets, with global asset markets such as oil, gold, platinum, and cryptocurrency markets during pre-Covid-19 tranquil period and during Covid-19 pandemic period comparatively using cointegration, causality and structural break tests. Findings of the paper shed light on the fact that cointegrations relationships between Bitcoin - JSE, Oil - JSE, and Real Estate – JSE were significant during pre-Covid period, while these significances weakened or disappeared during Covid period. On the other hand, cointegration relations show up between Oil – Platinum market and Gold – Real Estate market. It implies that JSE became volatile during Covid period comparing to Oil, Platinum, Gold markets in South Africa.
