          Abstract

          We perform time-frequency wavelet-based analysis to explore how the media coverage of the Covid-19 pandemic influenced the volatility of the Islamic equity indices, covering various sectors of economic activity. Our results show that the coherence between the Media Coverage Index and the moves of the Islamic stocks varies from low and medium to high levels. We attribute the intervals of low coherence to the diversification potential of Islamic equity investments during a systemic pandemic such as Covid-19. We document differences in the patterns exhibited by various indices per sector, showing their potential role for designing hedging strategies across sectors, based on stocks of companies which comply with Shariah.

              COVID-19 pandemic, oil prices, stock market, geopolitical risk and policy uncertainty nexus in the US economy: Fresh evidence from the wavelet-based approach

              In this paper, we analyze the connectedness between the recent spread of COVID-19, oil price volatility shock, the stock market, geopolitical risk and economic policy uncertainty in the US within a time-frequency framework. The coherence wavelet method and the wavelet-based Granger causality tests applied to US recent daily data unveil the unprecedented impact of COVID-19 and oil price shocks on the geopolitical risk levels, economic policy uncertainty and stock market volatility over the low frequency bands. The effect of the COVID-19 on the geopolitical risk substantially higher than on the US economic uncertainty. The COVID-19 risk is perceived differently over the short and the long-run and may be firstly viewed as an economic crisis. Our study offers several urgent prominent implications and endorsements for policymakers and asset managers.
