This study aimed to analyze the impact of COVID-19 cases on the performance of financial market indicators in South American countries, by choosing 6 main indicators representing 6 countries, as we adopted the new cases as the first independent variable, deaths as a second independent variable, and the performance of financial market indicators for countries South America as a dependent variable, through the application of panel models, where 89 views were selected for the daily closing price based on the availability of these data, and the corresponding COVID 19 cases.

the statistical analysis and the corresponding interpretations showed acceptance of the fixed effects model to represent the relationship between the variables, with a statistically significant positive effect of new cases of COVID 19 infection and a negative statistical significance effect of COVID 19 deaths on the performance of financial market indicators for the studied South American countries.
