Summary/Abstract: In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effects of countryspecific and global geopolitical risks on stock markets in European Union countries for the period January 1998-February 2022. In this context, global and country-specific news-based geopolitical risk indices and country stock indices are analyzed with Balcilar, Gupta and Wohar (2016)’s non-parametric quantile causality test. The findings revealed that country-specific and global geopolitical risks have a significant effect on stock returns and volatility for Finland, Germany and France. These findings highlight the importance of a strong financial sector that can help the market return to a stable structure that allows local investors to diversify country-specific risks in their portfolios.
