three Russia-Ukraine conflict-related events, namely (1) the announcement e-mail: elizals@protonmail.com
of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on the 24th of February 2022, (2) the
announcement of an oil import embargo on Russia by the European Union
on the 31st of May 2022, and (3) the announcement of the first wheat
export ship’s departure from the port of Odesa on the 1st of August 2022.
Both paired sample t-tests and paired sample Wilcoxon signed rank tests
were conducted to assess the statistical significance of differences in the
means of paired samples. The findings revealed significant differences in
average stock prices before and after all three events in the energy sector.
However, only events 2 and 3 displayed significant differences in average
abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns. Moreover, events 1 and
3 exhibited significant differences in average trading volume activity. In the
food and beverage sector, a significant difference in average stock prices was
observed before and after event 2, while all three events presented significant
differences in average abnormal returns and cumulative abnormal returns.
Furthermore, event 3 showed a significant difference in average trading
volume activity. These findings indicated that the IDX displayed varying
reactions to different Russia-Ukraine conflict-related events. Notably,
events involving multiple countries or entities exerted a greater impact on
the energy and food and beverage sectors within the IDX, leading to more
pronounced market reactions. Additionally, the findings suggested that the
IDX exhibited a semi-strong form of market efficiency.
