Abstract

The present paper discusses the past behaviour of the selected variables in the study and discusses the descriptive analysis of the collected data in the study from 1st April 2009 to 31st March 2023. This section discusses the relationship between trading volume and stock returns of the stocks (50 companies in the Nifty Index) in Indian stock market by applying Mean, S.D, Kurtosis, Skewness, Jarque Bera and One way Anova.The results of one-way ANOVA concluded that“There exists no significant difference between the average response of the stock returns at different quantiles as a result of trading volume at lag one”. It is concluded that the average response of the stock returns at different quantiles is same at different quantiles. However, the means plot of the stock returns at different quantiles is found to increases with the increase in the quantiles. Thus, it can be concluded in the study that the response of the stock returns is higher at higher quantiles and lower at lower quantiles, however no statistical difference is figured out. The stock returns on the next day is concluded to be higher if the trading volume of the stock is high at a particular day.
