Abstract:

This study addressed the impact of the oil price on several stock and bond indices during the Persian Gulf Crisis. Daily data were used in standard regression techniques to determine the impact of the oil price. It was found that the oil price had a tremendous negative impact on the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Dow Jones Transportation Average, while the price of oil had little explanatory power concerning bond prices.
