The stock market is a barometer of a countrys economy. The stock market of Pakistan was initiated in the year 1947 at Karachi and KSE100 index was introduced in1991.The intent of this study was to explore long run, and short run dynamics relationships between KSE100 index and five macroeconomic variables. In order to investigate the long run and short run relationships. The study used monthly data for analyzing KSE100 index.

The stock market is a mirror of an economy. The Karachi stock exchange (KSE) was established in1947. The KSE100 Index was introduced in November, 1991. The KSE100 Index consists of 100companies. These companies are selected on the basis of market capitalization and sector Representation. These companies encompass nearly 80 percent of the total market capitalization at Karachi Stock Exchange. The Karachi stock market remained very impulsive for the last sixty months.In this period, three financial disasters were observed. First, KSE100 index dropped nearly fourteen hundred points in the first quarter of the year 2005. Secondly, stock market was crashed in June 2006 when KSE100 index loosed fifteen hundred points. In the last nine months of the year 2008, highly intensive crash was observed. In this period, KSE100 index lost ten thousand points. The Board of Directors of Karachi stock exchange decided to place a floor in August 2008 which was removed in December, 2008. The major source of this volatility was political uncertainty and instability for this disaster in the stock market. Hold of speculators and bad governance in the stock market played vital role in first two crises. Hence, it was necessary to determine the economic factors by studying the behavior of stock market to plan a strategy that could protect the investors of stock markets varying evidences of relationship between macroeconomic variables and stock returns widely documented in the existing literature. Several studies explored the predictability of many macroeconomic variables such as exchange rate, inflation, foreign direct investment, real output, money supply, foreign reserves, prices of real estate, terms of trade, and value of trade balance on stock prices. Due to variations in results, it was found difficult to determine which specific macroeconomic variable could be consistent indicator of stock returns.

Stock markets are one of the most important components of modern economic structure. Macroeconomic condition may have significant impacts on both prices of stocks and volume traded.

The effects of inflation on economy may take the form of redistribution of income. For the macroeconomic management, low rates of inflation are prerequisites particularly in developing countries. Inflation can have a series of adverse consequences for the economy. Firstly, inflation erodes the purchasing power of the people and hence, leads to a contraction in economic growth. Inflation has regressive consequences on the poverty profile of a country. inflation can damage a countrys competitiveness by leading to an appreciation of the local currency and a consequent overvalued exchange rate, which have a negative effect on exports.(Khan & Gill,2010).
