The study analyzes the impact of U.S. and Chinese macroeconomic indicators on the Korea’s stock market. Monthly data from January 2010 to December 2016 were used. It analyzed four macroeconomic indicators in the United States (Nonfarm Payrolls, ISM Manufacturing, Leading Economic Indicators and Industrial Production) and five macroeconomic indicators in China(Consumer Price Index, Core Consumer Price Index, Purchasing Managers Index, Non-Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index and Producer Price Index). This study was conducted in order to analyze the Johansen’s cointegration, the VECM model, and the impulse response function. Johansen’s cointegration test shows that there exists cointegration in the KOSPI200 and KOSPI200 sectors. As a result of the VECM analysis, there appeared 6 plus signs (+) in Chinese producer price index(PPI), 4 minus signs (-) in U.S. Industrial Production. The impulse response function showed that China's macroeconomic indicators get more (+) positive reaction compared to the U.S., that shows China’s influence has been expanded.
