Özet
The co-movements of global stock markets represent a significant area of research in finance. Thisstudy aims to examine the long-term financial integration relationship between Türkiye and Asian stockmarkets (Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Pakistan, South Korea, India, Japan, Thailand, China,Taiwan, Vietnam) using Fourier cointegration analysis. The analysis, conducted using monthly data from theperiod 2014:01–2024:11, first assessed the stationarity of the series using the Fourier KPSS test, followed bythe application of the Fourier cointegration test. Unlike classical methods, the Fourier approach offers theadvantage of more accurately identifying long-term relationships by accounting for structural breaks andnonlinear trends. The findings indicate the existence of significant and strong cointegration relationshipsbetween the stock markets of Türkiye and the twelve Asian countries included in the analysis. Given Türkiye’sclose connection with Asian stock markets, important opportunities for investors in terms of risk and portfoliostrategies have been observed. These results highlight Türkiye’s increasing integration with the Asian financialsystem and have important implications for portfolio diversification, risk management, and internationalinvestment strategies.
