The survey used both granger causality and the OLS regression techniques to analyze the data. Accordingly, the findings from the study have revealed that investor sentiment has a remarkable positive impact on stock market returns by examining Treasury bills, consumer price index, and industrial production index. Also, the study has unfolded that unidirectional causality operates from investor sentiment to stock market returns. Reportedly, the study has established that stockholder sentiments have relatively lower explanatory power to returns on the stock market. Finally, this study posits the presence of dynamic correlation between the action of stock future returns and investor sentiment in China causes an increase in stock prices.
