        abstract = {Stock price changes are heavily influenced by significant news events, and financial markets are extremely susceptible to outside influences. The impact of significant business, economic, and geopolitical announcements on investor attitude and market behavior is investigated in this study. Using an event study technique, the research examines historical stock price data from 2014 to 2024 in relation to major news events such the COVID-19 pandemic, Brexit, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the US presidential election. According to the findings, different news categories have varying effects on stock prices. For example, financial crises and geopolitical tensions increase volatility, while changes in economic policy frequently result in long-term shifts in market trends.
Statistical methods, including the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, are used to measure abnormal returns and assess market efficiency. The study underscores the role of investor psychology, media sentiment, and regulatory interventions in shaping market reactions. Insights derived from this research can aid investors, policymakers, and financial analysts in developing informed trading strategies and risk management frameworks to navigate periods of uncertainty effectively.},
