Abstract

This paper uses fractional integration and cointegration methods to examine the persistence and long-run relationship between the S&P 500 index and the nominal yield to maturity of 10-year US Treasury bonds (GS10) over the period from January 1954 to December 2024. The results indicate that both series are highly persistent and can be characterised as non-stationary processes with an order of integration close to 1. Granger causality tests imply unidirectional causality running from stock prices (S&P 500) to bond yields (GS10). Further, both standard and fractional cointegration tests indicate the existence of a long-run relationship between the two series.
