Abstract: The relationship between stock price and foreign exchange (forex) rate has been a controversial issue over the years. This study examines the nexus between stock prices and forex rates in Nigeria from January 1985 to December 2014. It applies the Johansen co-integration, Toda-Yamamoto Granger non-causality and correlation tests. The empirical results reveal that there is presence of co-integration between stock prices and forex rates and unidirectional causality from forex rates to stock prices with positive correlation. This study did not validate the proposition of the portfolio-balance model in Nigeria but it provides substantiated evidence in favour of the traditional-flow model.
