Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This study uses econometric methods to reveal the relationship between the highest price formation and trading volume in the share indices of energy and oil companies traded on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE). The study used daily transaction data of KEGC, KZAP, and KZTO companies for 200 trading days in 2022. The analysis is based on the VAR method. The shock effect analysis concluded that there is a mutual interaction between the trading volume and the highest price formation for all three companies. Trading volume had a causal effect on the highest price of only one company (KZTO). The existence of a correlation between the trading volume and the highest price formation is important for investment decisions. This can be interpreted as an indication of a connection between the trading volume and the highest price formation in KASE. More information on this relationship can be obtained by performing similar analyses for other companies traded in the KASE.
