The Dynamics of Commodity Prices [PDF]

open access: possibleSSRN Electronic Journal, 2011
In this paper we study the stochastic behavior of the prices and volatilities of a sample of six of the most important commodity markets and we compare these properties to those of the equity market. We observe a substantial degree of heterogeneity in the behavior of the series.

Pricing average options on commodities [PDF]

On the Comovement of Commodity Prices

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2006
We present strong evidence against the excess‐comovement hypothesis—that the prices of commodities move together beyond what can be explained by fundamentals. Prior studies employ broad macroeconomic indicators to explain common price movements, and potentially correlated fundamentals are not controlled for.

Commodity price effects on currencies

Journal of International Money and Finance, 2022
Using quarterly data on four commodity exporting countries, we study the explanatory power of real commodity prices for predicting real effective exchange rates, with special attention to the separate roles of different sectoral commodity prices during alternative time periods. We find that the commodity price effect is non-uniform across countries and

Should Commodity Investors Follow Commodities' Prices?

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018
Summary: Most institutional investors gain access to commodities through diversified index funds, even though mean-reverting prices and low correlation among commodities' returns suggest that two-fund separation does not hold for commodities. In contrast to demand for stocks and bonds, we find that, on average, demand for commodities is largely ...

Are shocks to commodity prices persistent? [PDF]

open access: possibleApplied Energy, 2011
This paper considers the issue of whether shocks to ten commodity prices (gold, silver, platinum, copper, aluminum, iron ore, lead, nickel, tin, and zinc) are persistent or transitory. We use two recently developed unit root tests, namely the Narayan and Popp (NP) [14] test and the Liu and Narayan (LN) [26] test.

Commodity prices and related equity prices

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, 2014
AbstractThis paper shows that commodity‐sensitive stock price indices have strong power in predicting nominal and real commodity prices at short horizons (one‐month‐ahead predictions) using both in‐ and out‐of‐sample tests. The forecasts based on commodity‐sensitive stock price indices are able to significantly outperform naïve no‐change forecasts. For

Fukushima effect on commodity prices

2013 10th International Conference on the European Energy Market (EEM), 2013
This paper analyzes the effect of the earthquake occurred in March 2011 in Japan on nuclear power generation. More specifically as natural consequence, the hypothesis of moving towards generating sources different from nuclear are explored. Given the CO2 constraints and the discussion on biomass generation affecting the agricultural commodities prices,

A Theory of Commodity Price Fluctuations

Journal of Political Economy, 1996
This paper studies the price fluctuations of storable commodities that are traded in open markets and are subject to random shocks to demand or, more particularly, to supply. It relaxes the common assumption that the shocks are identically and independently distributed in favor of temporally dependent and periodic disturbances.
