Oil price (CPI), stock price, macroeconomics, cointegration, causality
Oil is probably the most important source of energy in the economy, and also an important component of the production cost of companies in the manufacturing sector. Fluctuations in oil prices will therefore affect the performance of the manufacturing sector. Disruption of the sector's performance will also cause fluctuations in the share price of the manufacturing sector. Furthermore, as far as we know, stock price movements are influenced by internal and external factors caused by macroeconomic conditions. However, investors can still invest even in unstable macroeconomic conditions, but need to be more prudent.
As a developing country, the manufacturing sector in Indonesia has an important role in producing goods to meet the needs of a growing market. To attract investors, macroeconomic conditions need to be the focus of companies and investors in developing investments. The macroeconomic conditions which were chosen as the focus of this study were inflation, the exchange rate of the rupiah against the dollar, the index of large and medium production and fluctuations in Indonesian oil prices (CPI).
Changes in oil prices are important because they have implications for stocks as a whole and in general are a portfolio strategy. This information is very important for investor strategies, so that investors are still able to get a return on investment by minimizing risk while oil prices are still uncertain.
The results of the study, which show the causality and cointegration relationship of oil price shock and macroeconomics to the dynamics of manufacturing sector stock price fluctuations, can be a long- and short-term consideration for companies and investors. It can also be a guideline for companies in developing production and a consideration for investors.
Theoretically, there are various reasons for which oil price can affect stock prices (Cai et al., 2017; Hamilton, 2008; Jones & Kaul, 1996; Rafailidis & Katrakilidis, 2014; Ramos & Veiga, 2013). One of the reasons relates to the impact of changes in oil price on the future expected discounted earnings of companies. An increase in oil price will increase the cost of production which in turn will reduce the profit and the future expected discounted earnings and, therefore, the stock prices. Another reason is related to the effect of changes in the stock prices of oil producing companies on the stock prices of other companies whose expected future earnings flows are adversely affected by the increase in oil prices. An increase in oil price will be beneficial for oil producing companies and will increase their stock prices. However, this puts pressure on the stock prices of other non-oil producing companies. Moreover, increased oil prices may create uncertainty for the economy and also for non-oil companies, which may result in delayed investment decisions which will adversely affect their stock prices.
Our dataset is monthly, beginning with January 2009 and ending with December 2016, a relatively rich sample sufficient for conducting the type of econometric modeling in this paper. Like most previous studies on the same topic, this study employs variables that include oil prices, stock prices, real output, inflation and exchange rates. As the proxy for the oil prices we use the CPI index, which is an average price of a basket of internationally traded Indonesian crude oils that is still used in some contracts today. The proxy for the manufacturing sector stock prices is the manufacturing sector closing price index obtained from the Indonesian Stock Exchange. For the output, because data on real output or real GDP are only available quarterly, then the industrial production index, which is available monthly, is used as a proxy. Inflation is calculated as the percentage change of the consumer price index.
To investigate the impact of changes in oil price on manufacturing sector returns, we perform cointegration and Granger causality analysis. Prior to both analysis it is necessary to investigate the stationarity properties of panel data by performing unit root tests. The software used in calculating the econometric model of the study is eviews10.
The first test of the data is carried out using the unit root test to determine whether the data is stationary at the level, this is the unit root test which is performed to avoid spurious regression results. The unit-panel root test method used in this study consisted of the Im, Pesaran and Shin methods together with the Fisher method. In the latest literature, the panel-based unit root test has higher strength than the time series-based unit root test.
It is important to check the stationarity of data before proceeding with further analysis because often a method designed for stationary series is not suitable for non-stationary series, and if applied one may run the risk of obtaining completely misleading results (Nason, 2013). We check the stationarity of the data involved by employing the Im, Pesaran, and Shin (IPS) unit root test which is based on the following equation:
Where ∆y(i,t) is the first difference of the dependent variable, βi is the coefficient of the lagged of the dependent variable. The null hypothesis of the test is all series follow a unit root process: βi = 0 for all i, against the alternative that some (but not all) have unit roots. Rejecting the null implies that series in the panel are stationary.
As an alternative approach to panel unit root tests, we also use Fisher’s (1932) results to derive tests that combine the p-values from individual unit root tests. This idea has been proposed by Maddala & Wu (1999), Choi (2001) and Hurlin (2010). The null and alternative hypotheses are the same as IPS.
To check whether a cointegrating, or long-run, relationship exists among variables, the methodology introduced by Pedroni (1999) is employed. This is a residual based test that includes several tests that allow heterogeneity of error variance and deterministic trend across panel members. Hence, the first step is to obtain the residuals from the following regression for each of the panel member:
Where t = 1, … , T; i = 1, … , N; m = 1, … , M, where M is the number of regressors; εi,t are residuals that indicate deviatios from the long-run equilibrium. Variables y and x are assumed to be integrated of order one, or I(1). In the test equation, intercept α, coefficient of time trend and slope coefficients β are allowed to vary across panel individuals. The following step is to pool residuals from the previous stage and test for their order of integration by estimating following equation:
The null hypothesis of the test is that ρi = 0 for all i, i.e. there is no cointegration relationship. The alternative hypothesis is that ρi < 0 for i = 1, … , N and ρi = 0 for i = N + 1, … , N.
A variable is said to be Granger-caused by another variable if including the second variable in the information set will improve the forecast of the first variable. The validity of causal test is conditional upon testing the unit root and cointegration among the variables. To undertake the Granger causality test, we consider a k-variate panel vector Autoregression (pVAR) model as follows:
Where Yi,t is (1 × k) a vector of variables of interest, A1, A2, … , Ap are (k × k) matrices of parameters to be estimated, ui and ei,t are (1 × k) vectors of dependent variables-specific panel fixed-effects and idiosyncratic error terms, respectively. The order of the model can be determined according to Schwarz’s Bayesian information criterion (BIC) which is one of the most successful criteria.
Pairwise Granger causality (Table 1) is a short-term variable relationship test conducted jointly, and the null hypothesis states that there is no joint causality relationship. The causality relationship is found in the second equation where y is not Granger to the variable x. If, statistically, the x and y coefficients are not significant, then there is another relationship between x and y. While if there is a one-way relationship from x to y, then the estimation coefficient is at lag y. Conversely, the one-way relationship from y to x is an indication of the estimated coefficient on lag x.
Unidirectional causality | (X → Y, Y → X) |
Two-way causality | X ⮀ Y |
There is no causality | - |
Stacked causality test (typical coefficient) panel data. The short-term relationship in this study uses the Granger causality pairwise test, the first step taken is the stacked causality test approach (Dumitrescu & Hurlin, 2012), where the causality is stacked in a panel data set using the assumption of the same coefficient in all sections with the following equation:
Dumitrescu-Hurlin (heterogeneous or unequal coefficients) panel causality test. The second approach uses heterogeneous coefficients with the Dumitrescu-Hurlin method, in this method, all coefficients are different, in other words, there is transverse heterogeneity with the following equation (Dumitrescu & Hurlin, 2012):
Based on descriptive statistics, all variables have varying averages and standard deviations. The monthly average of stock prices of the manufacturing sector moves following a parabolic pattern, and ranges from 135 to 307.85 during the study period. The sub period from 2009 to 2013 has the highest standard deviation with an average of 65.63. The maximum standard deviation of 288.3 is reached in 2014.
The oil price index shows an increasing trend with a maximum of 238.63 in 2013. The standard deviation of the oil price index fluctuates within the range from 29.71 in 2009 to the highest of 34.33 in 2014, which suggests a quite large fluctuation in the oil price.
The consumer price index shows an increasing trend until 2012 with an average of 141.66, and after that follows a decreasing trend with an average of 185.2. The standard deviation during the study period fluctuates within the range from 21.26 to 29.71. The monthly production index fluctuates, with a tendency to decrease in 2009 with monthly average of 103.7, decreasing further in 2010 with a monthly average of 80.5, and then continually increasing to reach a monthly average of 105.1 in 2016. The exchange rate index fluctuates within a range from 81.78 to 119.74, which is a quite large.
Having examined the descriptive statistics, we proceed to test for the stationarity properties of the data relying on the IPS and Fisher panel unit root test. The results are presented in Table 2 and as can be seen in the table, at the 1% significance level, both the IPS and Fisher unit root tests provide strong evidence that the variables under study are unit-root variables of order one. In other words, they are integrated of order one.

Stationary data are an important factor for getting estimates in the long run to avoid false regression results. The unit root test is performed at the beginning before estimation is done to find out whether the data has been stationary at the level or not.
Based on panel unit root statistics we proceed to panel cointegration analysis in order to examine long-run relationship among the variables. The first stage is to determine that the relationships among variable are not spurious, the panel unit root result should be tested by the Fisher and Shin method in stationary at level. The result of the panel unit root test can be seen in Table 2 below.
The results of the Lm test, Shin and Fisher for all variables in the table above show that the data is stationary at the significance level of 1%.
The objective of the cointegration test is to test the long-term relationship between oil price shocks, macroeconomics, and stock prices in the manufacturing sector. The cointegration test uses the Pedroni method, where the dimensions are grouped into two types, namely dimensions based on "within dimensions " and dimensions "between dimensions ". Dimension testing "within dimensions " is carried out on the respective values of panel v stat, panel rho stat, panel PP stat and panel adf stat. Meanwhile, the "between- dimensions " dimension test was carried out on the group rho stat, group PP stat and group ADF stat.
The relationship of variables in the panel data is of concern at this time. With the cointegration of the Pedroni method, it is known that all variables in this study are co-integrated in the long run, meaning that all the variables used have linear dependence (cointegration), where all variables are cointegrated to achieve mutual balance together in the long run. All the results of the test for both "within dimensions” and "between- dimensions " are shown in Table 3 below.
Within-dimension | Between-dimension | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Group | Stat | Remark | Group | Stat | Remark |
Panel v stat | 1.66** | Cointegration | Group rho stat | -3.31*** | Cointegration |
Panel rho stat | -4.51*** | Cointegration | Group PP stat | -4.57*** | Cointegration |
Panel PP stat | -6.01*** | Cointegration | Group ADF stat | -3.69*** | Cointegration |
Panel adf stat | -5.66*** | Cointegration |
In Table 3, the Pedroni cointegration residual test indicates cointegration with a significance level of 1%, so we reject the null hypothesis that there is no cointegration. This means that variable oil price shocks, macroeconomics, and stock prices in the manufacturing sector achieve long-run equilibrium.
For the short run we use pairwise granger causality to see the relationship in the short term, whether there is a two-way center, one-way causality, or no causality at all, the result of Pairwise granger causality test can be seen in Table 4 below.
Table 4 shows that there is no bidirectional causality, and only one directional causality relation between variables. One-way direction relation is shown between the production index and inflation, and between inflation and both the stock price and exchange rate,
It can be seen how much influence the cointegration of each variable has on other variables, with further testing the relationships between variables in this study are shown in Table 5.
From the results, it can be seen from the exchange rate, inflation and the joint production index, that the price of oil is co-integrated in the long run. Individually, it is known that manufacturing shares are integrated with oil prices and exchange rates. Furthermore, oil prices are significantly related to production and inflation indexes. This condition illustrates that, if the exchange rate cannot be maintained in stable conditions and is accompanied by high inflation, the shock of oil prices will affect the company's production activities in the long run.
The exchange rate of the rupiah will affect manufacturing production due to the large dependence on foreign raw materials to meet production goals in achieving long-term production balance. For long-term investment, it is very important to see changes in the exchange rate and the medium to large production index because these have a two-way causality and a significant positive effect in the short term. If the rupiah strengthens against the US dollar and this continues in the future, it will have an impact on rising production indices in the short term and this condition will also raise the production index in the long run, and vice versa.
While the increased purchasing power of consumers, in addition to reflecting the increased ability to invest in the community, also has a positive effect on the ability of the public to invest in manufacturing stocks, an increase in production will trigger an increase in oil prices.
Furthermore, the significant relationship of oil in the short term is based on the W-stat, but on the other hand, based on the Zbar-stat the price of oil is only related to the production index. It can be interpreted that the price movement of oil is divided due to the supply of oil producers and the demand of producers as consumers who use oil.
When people's purchasing power in the short term has a positive effect on investment, in the long run, this condition will strengthen long term investments, so that investment managers can hope to improve company performance to develop the company in the future.
For long-term investment in manufacturing stocks, investors must consider the exchange rate and the medium to large production index because these variables influence each other significantly in the movement of stock prices. The increase in the production index is an illustration of the improved performance of listed manufacturing companies, this condition is supported by increased output and sales of manufacturing companies, which will increase company profits. Rising corporate profits are a reflection of the company's improved performance. The improvement in performance shows an increase in demand for energy. Fluctuations in exchange rates and increases in the production index are central points in investment considerations.
The continuous weakening of the rupiah in the short run will determine investment conditions in the future. This factor is due to the dependency on raw materials for production from foreign sources, the amount of which will reduce the value of the rupiah.
Since the end of the cycle of Indonesia's mainstay commodities such as petroleum, the Indonesian economy can be strengthened through the manufacturing sector pathway. To do this, policies to improve infrastructure and transportation need special attention from the government, as improved transportation will strengthen investor confidence to re-invest.
Although the manufacturing sector in Indonesia is experiencing liberalization widely and is open to the world of investment, on the other hand, due to the problem of unequal access to electricity it is necessary to consider renewable energy as a companion in fulfilling Indonesia’s energy needs and strengthening the Indonesian economy.
