Based on the level of volatility and average yield, the entire analyzed period was divided into three sub-periods: favorable or a period of rapid market growth, unfavorable or a period of decline, and a period of moderate favorability or market recovery. The results of the analysis showed that the inflation rate and the Russian stock index have a significant impact on the Kazakhstan stock market. Inflation has the greatest impact, contributing to the growth of the index when its level increases. The Russian stock index also has a significant impact, demonstrating a high correlation with the KASE index. At the same time, the national currency rate and world oil prices showed a weak impact on the Kazakhstan stock market. A correlation matrix of returns of the main world stock indices was constructed.
