Abstract

This study uses the dynamic conditional correlation to investigate how technology subsector stocks interact with financial assets in the face of economic and financial uncertainty. Our results suggest that structural breaks have diverse effects on financial asset connectedness and that the level of bond linkage increases when the trend breaks. We see a growing co-movement between the technology sector and major financial assets when uncertainty is considered. Overall, our findings indicate that the connectedness response varies depending on the type of uncertainty shock.
