This study investigates the separate relationships between three macroeconomic variables the consumer price index, oil prices, and foreign exchange rates and the consolidated price movements of a 24-industry index of stocks listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during 2003–2009. We hypothesize a significant and direct relation between each macro variable and price movements of the 24-industry index. To test our hypotheses, we use econometric methods that include ordinary least squares (OLS), linear regression, the Dickey–Fuller test, the Phillips–Perron unit root test, the F test, and the White test. Results indicate a direct and significant relation between the CPI and the 24-industry index. However, results confirm that there is no significant relation between either the oil price or the exchange rate and the index during the period examined.
