2.2 Conclusion Previous literature done by previous researchers has provided us a space to be
more understand on the relationship between some of macroeconomic variables and
stock returns and the impact of macroeconomic variables on stock market return, so
according to the previous literatures, this study chooses these four macroeconomic
variables to examine that whether these four variables can impact the banking
industry stock return in Chinese stock market. Hence, the conceptual framework is set
as below: four macroeconomic variables are inflation rate, exchange rate, money
supply and interest rate which are the independent variables, it will investigate the
impact of each variable on the banking industry stock return. And the study employs
market returns which from Shanghai market return and Shenzhen market return as
control variables to examine when put the market return be the control variable, then
the macroeconomic variables have the impact to the banking industry stock return or
not. And each variable has the literature supporting, but until now, this study cannot
find out any literature study on the Shenzhen stock market return. So the study sets
the conceptual framework as below:
