We investigate the dynamic relationship between global oil prices, the stock market, and oil and gas stock (FTSE-OG) returns in the UK through a structural vector autoregressive (VAR) framework during the COVID-19 pandemic. The structural VAR results suggest that the impact of structural shocks related to the global oil price on FTSE-OG index returns becomes less important and loses its explanatory power during the pandemic. However, stock market shocks increase their explanatory power in the variations of FTSE-OG index returns.
