Cover Story: Financial crises can result in massive waves of unemployment, decreases in GDP, and negative impacts on all sectors of the economy via ripple effects. This study aimed to determine dominant index prices on the daily stock prices of five large Canadian banks during the last five crises periods from January 1975 to December 2020. The findings indicate that the “price index-financial” out of 23 indexes is the dominant index that has a positive impact on the closing price of banks. The effects of other indexes depend on the investment tools in the portfolios of the banks and type of crises. View this paper
