Abstract: This paper examines the impact of macroeconomic factors and non-macroeconomic factors on the ten stock indices of the National Stock Exchange using the quantile regression methodology and the monthly dataset from April 2010 to May 2022. We find that the exchange rate has less influence on IT, infra, pharma, FMCG and realty stock returns. Further, all the sectors except energy are not sensitive to inflation. Moreover, financial services, infra, pharma, private banks and realty are the sectors where the impact of interest rates is not visible. The sectors that are not affected by geopolitical risk include auto, infra, IT, pharma, private and public sector banks. Furthermore, the financial services, infra, pharma, private bank sectors are affected by economic policy uncertainty. The volatility has a negative impact and the Nifty has a positive impact on all the sectors. Our results are useful for investors and portfolio managers to make informed investment decisions and manage their portfolio risk.
