It makes a further effort to examine the correlation between monetary policy decisions and the returns when different types of investors’ sentiments are high. The results show that the coefficients of actual or unexpected monetary policies are not statistically significant. However, the unexpected easy M2 monetary policy has significant and positive influence on the returns. Besides, when dividing the data into different regimes, we can discover the asymmetric reactions that actual and unexpected rediscount rate has significant and positive influence in bull market, and unexpected tight and easy monetary policy rediscount rate is more effective in bear market, indicating that there are asymmetric reactions in different regimes.
