* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
As nations implement interest rate hikes and the economy heads towards a downward trajectory, investor sentiment undergoes a significant transformation. While extensive research has explored how investor sentiment influences stock markets, there is limited investigation into its effects on futures markets. This study aims to delve into various methodologies used to examine investor sentiment, including existed indexes, news analysis, and machine learning techniques. The study will evaluate how investor sentiment influences futures market and explore the connection between futures market and stock market. It acknowledges that there are both similarities and differences in studying investor sentiment in the stock and futures markets and suggests that futures market may play a role in affecting stock market prices. By conducting a thorough review of existing literature, the objective is to enhance our understanding of price dynamics in both the futures and stock markets within the context of the current global economic downturn.
