Abstract

In this paper, we explore the interconnection and existing relationships between the Sovereign Credit Default Swaps (henceforth, CDS) and the stock markets of the main European countries. Thus, the goal of this paper is to test if the CDS premia can predict the stock market returns of the most relevant economies within the Eurozone, so that, they serve as advanced indicators like mechanisms of price transmission. For this purpose, we apply the Granger Causality test to analyze ten main European stock markets from 2004 to 2016 by using daily data. Our hypothesis is proved to work for the largest economies with liquid CDS markets, whereas the transmission mechanism between CDS and stock prices is not so evident for the smallest ones. || En este documento, exploramos la interconexión y las relaciones existentes entre los Soberanos Credit Default Swaps (en adelante, CDS) y los mercados bursátiles de los principales países europeos. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este documento es comprobar si las primas de CDS pueden predecir los rendimientos del mercado de valores de las economías más relevantes dentro de la zona euro, de modo que sirvan como indicadores avanzados como los mecanismos de transmisión de precios. Para este propósito, aplicamos la prueba de Causalidad de Granger para analizar los diez principales mercados bursátiles europeos desde 2004 a 2016 mediante el uso de datos diarios. Se ha demostrado que nuestra hipótesis funciona para las economías más grandes con mercados de CDS líquidos, mientras que el mecanismo de transmisión entre los CDS y los precios de las acciones no es tan evidente para los más pequeños.
