Influence in commodity markets: Measuring co‐movement globally
نویسنده
چکیده
This article focuses on a new measure of global co-movement defined as influence: the average partial correlation of one asset with respect to others. The influence of nominal returns and real price cycles of various commodities is computed for the period of January 1968–December 2013. The estimation results show that there is strong co-movement among the average influences of nominal returns of industrial and precious metals since 2003. From an investor's perspective, this suggests a reduction in the benefits of portfolio diversification and a convergence towards a single metal class. On the other hand, and as expected, average influence among unrelated commodity returns is generally negligible, except for the period of financial turmoil of 2007–2010. By contrast the influence of real price cycles tends to be highly significant over the whole sample period, even among unrelated commodities. These findings indicate that economic agents' perceiving all commodities as a sole asset class is essentially a short-term phenomenon linked to business cycles. Two extensions of this framework are discussed: macroeconomic determinants of commodity influence and portfolio investment decisions. & 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

To do so, we model the dependence between commodity (metal, agriculture and energy) and stock markets using a flexible approach that allo...

متن کاملLong-Term Economic Relationships andCorrelation Structure in Commodity Markets
This paper finds that the long-term co-movement among commodities is driven by economic relations, such as, production, substitution or complementary relationships. These economic linkages imply that expected commodity prices, which are determined by convenience yields and risk premia among other factors, tend to move with each other. This source of co-movement is not captured by traditional co...
