This study investigates the impacts of volatility expectations in oil, gold, currency and the U.S. stock markets on time-varying conditional correlations between BRIC and U.S. stock markets. We use asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation and dynamic conditional correlation models to derive the time-varying relationships. We then examine the dynamic conditional correlations using quantile regressions for a detailed analysis of dependence structure containing non-linear and asymmetric interactions. Our results show that the impacts of volatility expectations in U.S. stock, gold, and oil markets on the correlations are asymmetric based on the level of correlations. Depending on the level of correlations, interdependence between the markets is driven by risk perceptions in both financial and non-financial markets. Our findings have important implications for determining international investment strategies.

Financial crises and the nature of correlation between commodity and stock markets ÖZTEK, MEHMET FATİH; Öcal, Nadir (2017-03-01) This paper models time-varying correlations between commodity and stock markets to uncover the dynamic nature of correlations during the financialization of commodity markets and in the aftermath of the recent financial crisis. Particularly, we search for upward trends in correlations and investigate the impacts of global and market volatility, and the news from the markets on the time-varying structure of correlations. The focus is on two commodity sub-indices; agricultural commodity and precious metal. Ne...
Risk Transmission from Oil and Natural Gas Futures to Emerging Market Mutual Funds Ewing, Bradley T.; Gormus, Alper; Soytaş, Uğur (2018-01-01) This study evaluates the impacts of energy markets on emerging market mutual funds (EMMFs). In particular, we investigate the volatility transmission between these funds and the oil and natural gas prices. The findings suggest significant risk spillover from the energy markets to EMMFs. Furthermore, we find a large number of EMMFs' risk transmitting to oil prices and almost all of the EMMFs' risk transmitting to natural gas prices. By dividing the sample into two (before and after 2008), we find the EMMFs' ...
The impact of crude oil prices on financial market indicators: copula approach Kayalar, Derya Ezgi; KÜÇÜKÖZMEN, CUMHUR ÇOŞKUN; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2017-01-01) Oil price changes have varying impacts on the financial indicators of global markets and economies. This study aims to explore the dependence structure between crude oil prices and stock market indices, as well as the exchange rates in a number of economies categorized with respect to their status as developing/emerging markets, and oil importer/exporter countries. Dependence structures in this study are evaluated in considerable depth using copula models. The broad time period covered allows the investigat...
The role of trading volume, open interest and trader positions on volatility transmission between spot and futures markets Ordu-Akkaya, Beyza Mina; Ugurlu-Yildirim, Ecenur; Soytaş, Uğur (2019-06-01) In this paper, we investigate the role of open interest, trading volume and trading positions of trader groups on volatility spillover between futures and spot markets of two major commodities; oil and gold during the last two decades. The initial analysis including only spot and futures markets imply that the relationship is bi-directional for crude oil, and uni-directional for gold. Though, including open interest and trading volume enrich our results indicating open interest and spot markets are closely ...
The volatility spillover among a country’s foreign exchange, bond, and stock markets: a multivariate garch analysis Kubilay, Mustafa Murat; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2012) The purpose of this study is to examine the volatility spillover among a country’s foreign exchange, bond and stock markets and the volatility transmission from the global bond, stock and commodity markets to these local financial markets. The sample for the study includes data from both emerging and developed economies in the time period between 2004 and 2011. A multivariate GARCH methodology with the BEKK representation is applied for the local financial markets and global variables are included as exogen...
