English Abstract

Economists typically used yield curve’s shape to predict an increase or a decrease in real economic activity for decades.

Moreover, the yield curve gained more popularity since 1989 when Harvey confirmed that the last U.S.

five recessions were signaled, one year before on average, by the yield curve’s inversion.

This paper sheds light on the linkage between the term spread of U.S.

and stock market performance in MENA region using the DCC-GARCH (Dynamic Conditional Correlation - General Autocorrelation Conditional Heteroscedasticity).

Using data for the period investigated is from 2004 to 2014 for 10 MENA’s countries, the analysis revealed that there is weak correlation between term spread and stock exchange performance.

Moreover, the Gulf countries have a higher correlation than the North African ones.
