While the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused all major stock market indices to fall sharply in March 2020, both the extent of the decline at this time, and the shape of the subsequent recovery, have varied greatly. For example, on March 15, 2020, major European markets and traditional stocks in the United States had shed around 40 percent of their value compared to January 5, 2020. However, Asian markets and the NASDAQ Composite Index only shed around 20 to 25 percent of their value. A similar story can be seen with the post-coronavirus recovery. As of November 14, 2021 the NASDAQ composite index value was around 65 percent higher than in January 2020, while most other markets were only between 20 and 40 percent higher.

Why did the NASDAQ recover the quickest?

Based in New York City, the NASDAQ is famously considered a proxy for the technology industry as many of the world’s largest technology industries choose to list there. And it just so happens that technology was the sector to perform the best during the coronavirus pandemic. Accordingly, many of the largest companies who benefitted the most from the pandemic such as Amazon, PayPal and Netflix, are listed on the NADSAQ, helping it to recover the fastest of the major stock exchanges worldwide.

Which markets suffered the most?

The energy sector was the worst hit by the global COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, oil companies share prices suffered large declines over 2020 as demand for oil plummeted while workers found themselves no longer needing to commute, and the tourism industry ground to a halt. In addition, overall share prices in two major stock exchanges – the London Stock Exchange (as represented by the FTSE 100 index) and Hong Kong (as represented by the Hang Seng index) – have notably recovered slower than other major exchanges. However, in both these, the underlying issue behind the slower recovery likely has more to do with political events unrelated to the coronavirus than it does with the pandemic – namely Brexit and general political unrest, respectively.

The Star 50 index value at the Shanghai Stock Exchange in China at the end of January 2025 was about 955 points. The Star 50 index was dominated by the information technology industry and the pharmaceutical industry, including Beijing Kingsoft Office, Advanced Micro, and Haier Biometrical. A new milestone The Shanghai Stock Exchange introduced the Star 50 index at the end of July 2020, which was a significant step in constructing the trading board. Created in July 2019, the Star Market targeted tech-startups by having a more lenient listing process compared to other markets in China. For instance, companies did not have to be profitable, and they did not require approval from government regulators. Instead, companies applied via a registration-style process, overseen by the stock exchange itself. Therefore, it could provide young companies with easier access to capital and facilitate their growth. Finally, the introduction of a stock index allowed investors to monitor and assess the performance of the board. The Star 50 index tracked the performance of the 50 biggest companies traded on the Star Market. Facilitating self-reliance Under the ongoing decoupling of the United States and China, policymakers in Beijing strived to have independent, domestic capital markets that were attractive enough to Chinese tech companies to list at home rather than overseas. Therefore, the Shanghai Stock Exchange copied the registration-style listing process from the NASDAQ as well as lowered the listing requirements. By mid-2020, the Star Market had the second most IPOs in the first half of the year, behind the NASDAQ.

Limited access Despite its size, the exchange in Shanghai only grants limited access to overseas investors. The bourse listed A-shares and B-shares. While A-shares are denominated in yuan and almost exclusively available for domestic traders, the prices of B-shares are in U.S. dollars and available for overseas investors as well.

However, these tight controls are the reason why Hong Kong, despite its lower relative market capitalization, remains an important gateway to capital for mainland Chinese companies.

This study explored how the holiday effect impacts the fluctuations in various scale indexes. Using differential and double-difference methods, the researchers of this study analyzed the impact of the lockdown in Wuhan, China on the holiday effect during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research objects used in this study include CSI All Share, CNI1000, CNI 2000, CNI Large Cap., CNI Mid-Cap., and CNI Small Cap. This study found that on behalf of the Chinese market index and the large, medium, and small-scale index, stock volatility is evident on the next day following successive holidays. Meanwhile, greater volatility is observed in small stocks’ 4-day vacation (May 1, 11) than in a two-day vacation. The researchers discovered that the sealing effect causes investors to feel uncertain about the increased stock volatility. In terms of size, the net impact of the pandemic on the stock holiday effect is also greater for small stocks than for large stocks. This study’s main contribution is the GARCH+DID hybrid method.
