摘要:This paper examines the cointegrationbetween sectoral indices in Bursa Malaysiaand the selected macroeconomic variables,namely, oil price (OP), gold price (GP), andexchange rate (ER), during the period 1995-2014. The underlying series are tested byusing Unit Root Test, Johansen Cointegration,Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) andVector Autoregression (VAR). The resultsindicate that sectoral indices, specifically intechnology sector, have long run cointegrationwith macroeconomic variable as resulted fromthe analysis of Johansen-Juselius (1990),Multivariate Cointegration and Vector ErrorCorrection Model. Meanwhile, the short runcointegration between macroeconomic variableand several sectoral indices have also beenobserved in Bursa Malaysia.
