Abstract
Previous literature has shown that the sensitivity of Islamic and conventional stocks is not homogenous to different uncertainties (Narayan and Phan 2017; Godil et al.,2020). During the recent crises of COVID-19 has brought the attention of academic scholars to empirically test the performance of stock markets during the pandemic period (Mazur et al., 2020; Zang et al., 2020). As the performance of markets varies with respect to investors’ sentiments and in such uncertain situation, the pattern of news plays a key role in deviating the markets index. In a recent study Haroon and Rizwi (2020) show that investors’ sentiments created by the news related to COVID-19 significantly affect the market volatility. Motivated from the previous literature, we empirically test the effect of COVID-19 on the Dow Jones Islamic and Conventional stocks returns. We use daily data of stocks return from Compustat. For data analysis we applied Garch Arch (1/1) model.
