This study investigates the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on major international stock markets namely the USA, China, Japan, Germany, and India, the five nations hit severely by Covid-19 which are also the five largest economies in the world during March 11, 2020, to July 10, 2020, at daily level data. This study demonstrates that as COVID-19 is perhaps a unique outcome in terms of its global scope as a pandemic, in terms of its intensity and severity will create a widespread change in the investors’ mood about the future economy. This paper examines the ‘spillover effects” of the Covid-19 pandemic on the major financial markets by structural break analysis using Bai-Perron multiple break tests.
