Abstract: Stock Price Indices are compared across countries in an attempt to explain why they exhibit such disparate behavior. Three separate explanatory influences are empirically documented. First, part of the behavior can be attributed to a technical aspect of index construction; some indices are more diversified than others. Second, each country's industrial structure plays a major role in explaining stock price behavior. Third, for the majority of countries, a portion of national equity index behavior can be ascribed to exchange rate behavior. Exchange rates explain a significant portion of common currency denominated national index returns, although the amount explained by exchange rates is less than the amount explained by industrial structure for most countries.

The Week‐End Effect in Common Stock Returns: The International Evidence
TL;DR: This paper examined the daily stock market returns for four foreign countries and found that the lowest mean returns for the Japanese and Australian stock markets occur on Tuesday, and that the seasonal patterns in foreign stock markets are independent of those previously reported in the U.S. The results strongly support the proposition that the weekly seasonal effect is a general, worldwide phenomenon rather than the result of a special type of institutional arrangement.
