Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the sensitivity of Australian stock return to US market returns, via an international market model. Our study investigates the relative sensitivity to (1) the US return denominated in Australian dollars and (2) the US market return decomposed into its two component factors (the US market return expressed in US dollars and the AUDUSD exchange rate return). Our results suggest that Australian industries are differentially sensitive to changes in the US market and to exchange rate movements.
