Özet: In this article we investigate the impact of oil price changes and gold price changes on a set of stock returns of four major Romanian oil companies and on an equally weighted portfolio comprised of these stocks. Employing two different data frequencies and pair wise Granger causality tests we find that multifactor models which include unexpected oil price changes and unexpected gold price changes as macroeconomic factors are suitable in the decision-making process of an investor that wants to invest in the Romanian oil industry.
