description This study examines the news impact, persistence and asymmetric effects of stock, oil and cryptocurrency markets in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The diagonal BEKK method is applied to the daily trading prices of three major cryptocurrencies, crude oil and four stock market indices from January 2018 to February 2024. The empirical results indicate a strong, significant volatility spillover between cryptocurrencies, oil and stock prices, but no return spillover effect among these asset classes. A negative news shock in cryptocurrency markets generates more volatility in GCC stock prices than positive news. The study suggests that cryptocurrency price movements are independent of other asset classes, providing portfolio diversification opportunities for investors in GCC countries.
