Abstract
This paper investigates the empirical relationship between changes in international oil prices, specifically Arab light and stock returns of oil intensive sectors of Pakistan. Our study uses monthly data for last ten years, i.e., 2009 – 2018. This paper focuses on exploring the stimulating strand of sensitivity to oil price change by layering in periods based on structural breaks: increasing and decreasing trends. Results confirm that sensitivity varies across sectors; some of the industries show a positive association whereas others showed negative effect, and furthermore some theses associations are also time variants.
