Abstract: Uncertainties negatively affects many macroeconomic factors by affecting the decisions of financial market participants. These uncertainties trigger deteriorations in macroeconomic factors, making the decision-making processes of economic policy makers difficult. This situation leaves financial market participants faced with two main types of uncertainty: economic policy uncertainty and monetary policy uncertainty. These uncertainties create concern about the behavior of investors investing in capital markets and cause fluctuations in financial markets. The aim of the research is to examine the effect of economic policy uncertainty and monetary policy uncertainty on the behavior of stock market investors. The study was analyzed with westerlund (2008) panel cointegration test using data for the period between march 2009 and march 2023. In the first stage of the analysis, the negative effects of monetary policy uncertainty on investor behavior were identified. In addition, within the scope of the study, the economic policy uncertainty index was also examined and the consistent effects of uncertainties were questioned. The results showed that economic policy and monetary policy uncertainties negatively affect investor behavior. In addition, it has been determined that economic policy uncertainty has more negative effects than monetary policy uncertainty.
