Abstract—The United States, as the world’s largest economy, wields significant influence over global financial markets. Consequently, the actions of the Federal Reserve, particularly in the context of interest rate hikes, have become a recent focal point of research. China’s stock market, like many others, has not been immune to the pronounced fluctuations brought about by the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions. In the analysis of stock market factors, foreign exchange rates and government bond yields are frequently examined as these are among the most sensitive financial indicators, widely used to assess their correlation with stock markets. Therefore, this study has selected these two pivotal variables, namely foreign exchange rates and government bond yields, to conduct a thorough investigation into their impact on the Chinese stock market. Through the establishment of regression models and meticulous analysis, we have discovered that foreign exchange rates hurt the Chinese stock market, whereas government bond yields exert a positive influence. Based on these findings, this study provides corresponding explanations and investment recommendations.
Keywords—Chinese stock market, interest rate hike policy, multi-regression
