Rationale and Research Questions Gold is a precious metal that acts as both an industrial commodity and a monetary or investment asset, used for the purpose of hoarding or exchanging Gold is a liquid, counter-cyclical asset that can help investors accomplish their basic objectives of safety, liquidity, and return by acting as a long-term store of value (Yousef and Shehadeh, 2020) Besides, gold is also known as a leading indicator reflecting the level of inflation, and is always considered as a hedge against inflation, diversifying risks when a financial crisis occurs (Gokmenoglu and Fazlollahi, 2015) When there are fluctuations in the economy, the risk of investing in channels increases, investors will tend to look for gold Gold is also kept in significant quantities by central banks and international financial organizations for diversification and economic security purposes Oil price can be considered as an indicator of volatility, because fluctuations in world oil price are influenced by the unexpected changes in supply and demand, leading to fluctuations of the exchange rate of an oil importing economy Understanding the volatility of crude oil prices is critical because it can affect many sectors of the economy and contribute to economic instability in both exporting and importing countries (Gokmenoglu and Fazlollahi, 2015) In detail, most businesses use oil as an input fuel, therefore as the price of oil swings around the world, it affects firms' input costs, causing performance to fluctuate This will have a direct impact on company stock indexes (Nguyen, 2016) Instead of choosing to invest safely in gold and other precious metals, the emergence of the stock market offers diversification in the portfolio investment, which has greater appeal to investors With a similar amount of money, investors can choose to invest in businesses that perform well, bring higher returns on investment, but also are possibly exposed to higher risks in comparison to traditional investments including gold Gold, Oil and Stock Market not only provide investors with different investment channels, but also reflect and simultaneously direct economic activities through their markets’ transaction volume and prices The movements of oil price, gold price and stock price coupled with their interactions serve as important economic indicators for policymakers in regulating the economy As a result, the relationship between gold price, oil price and stock market has always been a topic of interest to researchers and policymakers Previous studies provide mixed findings about the relationship between the oil and gold markets with the stock market Specifically, Gokmenoglu and Fazlollahi (2015) conducted research on the Interactions of Gold, Oil, and Stock Market in the United States, mentioning the long run and short run impact of gold and oil price on S&P 500 stock market price index The stock markets of the ASEAN-5 countries were found to interact dynamically with their respective significant macroeconomic issues including GNP – Gross National Product, Money Supply, Consumer Price Index and Money Market Rate, according to Wongbangpo and Sharma (2001) The long-run relationship is confirmed in Gokmenoglu (2015) indicated that Oil price would lead to a decrease 18% in stock market in long-run, Alamgir and Amin (2021) found the positive relationship between World Oil Price and Stock Market with the evidence from South Asia, Nguyen, Nguyen & Ta (2020) shared a similar result, Oil Price positively affect Vietnam Stock Market Whereas short-term interaction is explored in other previous studies including Nguyen (2018) showed that in short-run, Gold Price produced no effect on Vietnam Stock Market Index, Tursoy (2017) demonstrated that Turkey experienced a negative relationship between gold price and stock price, and positive relationship between crude oil and stock prices Besides, the emergence of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, affecting and changing various economies across the globe, has been suspected to distort the relationship between oil, gold and stock market The research revolves around focusing on studying the relationship of macro variables, such as wealth or gold to the stock market, but focusing on developed economies In particular, Singh et al (2021) found the negative relationship between the exchange rates, stock market return and the number of COVID – 19 infections in G7 countries Pak et al (2020) also agreed with Singh’s results, by conducting research on the impact of the number of infection cases on the stock market in US, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Iran and South Korea and revealed that the number of infection cases and stock market indexes experienced a negative interaction In Asia, Arisandhi and Robiyanto (2022) studied the relationship only of gold price and currency rates on the stock market in countries: Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia, found that exchange rate was produced a positive correlation with stock price, and be considered as a better investment in compared with gold To be the best knowledge of the authors, there is no prior literature covering the relationship between oil, gold, and stock markets for ASEAN, and even ASEAN+3 markets Moreover, a limited number of recent studies have just discovered the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the stock market, leaving the contribution of COVID-19 pandemic to the aforementioned relationship open for further discussion Therefore, we decided to carry the study entitled “The nexus between the oil price, gold price and ASEAN+3’s Stock Market Indexes, and the contribution of the COVID-19 pandemic” The novelty of the study includes: (i) the study, by deploying various appropriate empirical models (VAR – Vector Auto Regression, VECM – Vector Error Correction Model, and ARDL – Auto Regressive Distributed Lag) into scrutinizing the relationship between the two commodities markets with the stock market, provide reliable findings to enrich the research field of finance and economics; (ii) the study makes an attempt to investigate the impact of the pandemic on the relationship; (iii) the dataset combines both macro variables with oil and gold prices to bring about the most objective result To successfully achieve those contributions, the study focuses on shedding lights on following research questions: (i) Do world oil price and gold price have either a short run or long run relationship with the stock market of every single country in ASEAN+3? (ii) How are these relationships different among countries? (iii) Does COVID-19 have any impact on these relationships ?
