Abstract: This study conducts a comparative empirical examination of the dynamics of exchange rates- stock market returns nexus in four selected advanced economies before and during the war in Ukraine. We selected those countries from a commodity point of view, although we do not include commodities in the analysis. More explicitly, we focus on Germany and the UK as two major importers, and Australia and Canada as two major exporters of commodities. We use daily data and employ two complementary methodologies including the time-varying granger causality and the DS-ARDL techniques to investigate: first, how the exchange rates-stock market return nexus changes before and during the war, and second, whether the nature of this relationship is different for commodity-exporters and -importers. Our analysis shows that the causality mainly flows from the stock market indices to the exchange rates in both periods before and during the war and it does not distinguish between commodity-exporters and -importers. Practical implications for investors and decision-makers are also discussed.
