The objective of this paper is to analyse the causal relationship between the BRICS countries’ stock market performance during the COVID-19 period. the paper inclines on prior work, which posits that anomalies in stock market might stimulate ripples amongst market participants. BRICS countries’ stock market data for a period of 95 days between January and May 2020 were analysed for causality using the Vector Auto-regression and the Granger Causality Wald test.
