This unprecedented event has been unfolding multiple worst-case scenarios on all fronts of our society and has eclipsed almost every other natural disasters of the modern world and pushing humanity on the verge of tipping point. Up to now, more than 29 million people have been infected and more than 1000 thousand have lost their lives because of COVID-19. So far, this epidemic has not only taken human lives but also snatched the livelihood of millions of people worldwide. Because of this epidemic, the world has been experiencing a kind of regressive mindset, where countries are looking inward, and all kinds of political, social, and economic relations are in a very confused state on account of this ongoing assault on them. Consequently, this epidemic has triggered a high level of skepticism in investors about the certainty of the rapid healing of the social and economic condition which is hindering the quick and healthy recovery of financial markets in most of the pandemic ridden countries of the world. The purpose of this study was to examine the causal relationship among various factors such as crude oils price, exchange rate, and stock market performance during Covid-19 in the context of financial market performance in India. Several methodologies have been applied during this study such Johansen co-integration test, vector autoregression model, and Granger causality test. The results have supported a significant causality among crude oil prices and the exchange rate on stock market performance.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Темпы глобального распространения COVID-19 вызывают у инвесторов высокий уровень скептицизма в отношении быстрого возвращения привычных социальных и экономических условий, что препятствует восстановлению финансовых рынков в большинстве стран мира, охваченных пандемией. Цель исследования состояла в изучении причинно-следственной связи между различными факторами, такими как цена на нефть, обменный курс и показатели фондового рынка в эпоху COVID-19, в контексте показателей финансового рынка в Индии. В исследовании использовались тест Йохансена, модель векторной авторегрессии и тест Грейнджера. Результаты подтвердили наличие значительной причинно-следственной связи между ценами на сырую нефть и обменным курсом на показатели фондового рынка.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>stock market index</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>crude oil price</kwd><kwd>exchange rate VAR model</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>индекс фондового рынка</kwd><kwd>цена на нефть</kwd><kwd>модель VAR валютного курса</kwd><kwd>COVID-19</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Abu Bakar, N., &amp; Rosbi, S.
