We develop a discrete-time model in which the stock markets of two countries are linked via and with the foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange market is characterized by nonlinear interactions between technical and fundamental traders. Such interactions may generate complex dynamics and recurrent switching between “bull” and “bear” market phases via a well-known pitchfork and period-dou...

Since foreign stock market speculators require foreign curren...
