About the OECD Stock Price Index

The OECD Stock Price Index is an indicator that comprehensively measures stock price trends in major developed countries that are members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). It is set with 2015 as the base year (100), and when this index value exceeds 100, it indicates rising stock prices, while values below 100 indicate falling stock prices. The index is composed of a weighted average of major stock markets across multiple countries and serves as a useful indicator for understanding the overall health of global equity markets.

There are multiple reasons why this indicator is important. First, stock price indices tend to lead in reflecting overall economic trends, serving as a clue for inferring future economic growth and corporate earnings outlooks. Second, because it targets stock prices from OECD member countries, a group of developed nations, it functions as an indicator representing global economic trends. Third, because it sensitively reflects changes in investor psychology and market risk assessment, it serves as a barometer for measuring financial market stability and the level of economic uncertainty.

Recent trends include sharp declines and recoveries due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, subsequent adjustment phases accompanying financial tightening, and fluctuations accompanying changes in monetary policy by central banks across countries in response to high inflation. Going forward, geopolitical risks, interest rate trends, and corporate earnings outlooks are expected to be major factors in stock price index fluctuations. By continuously monitoring this indicator, one can more accurately understand the actual state of developed country economies.
