Modelling Extreme Risks in Commodities and Commodity Currencies
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyzes extreme co-movements between the Australian and Canadian commodity currencies, and the gold and oil markets respectively, within a multivariate extension of the Hawkes-POT model. The intensity of extreme events in the Australian dollar are influenced by extreme events in gold, while the size of extreme events in the Canadian dollar are driven by extreme events in crude oil. Models with both self-excitation and cross-excitation produce the most accurate predictions of extreme risk in these markets. The results of this paper will provide participants in the commodity and currency markets a deeper understanding of the risks they face. JEL classification: C53, F47, G15.
