Abstract
This paper explores the decomposed and partial connectedness between oil shocks and sovereign credit risk, emphasizing the dynamics in emerging economies divided between oil-importing and exporting nations. Using data from June 28, 2013, to June 1, 2023, empirical findings indicate that oil demand and supply shocks have become net receivers during the Russo-Ukrainian war, absorbing spillovers from sovereign credit risks. Risk shocks emerge as the only consistent and intensifying net transmitters, indicating the growing role of geopolitical uncertainty in driving volatility. Mexico appears as a notable net transmitter. Brazil also plays a persistent role as a systemic transmitter, while Russia's diminishing influence and higher self-insulation reflect financial decoupling under sanctions. A decreased total connectedness during the conflict suggests a decoupling trend among countries. Our analysis demonstrates the predominance of external over internal connectedness, emphasizing the significant influence of global events. The results display distinct connectedness patterns between oil-importing and exporting countries, reflecting the varied effects of oil price volatility on sovereign credit risk, particularly during geopolitical instability.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the journal is also to stimulate international dialog among academics, industry participants, traders, investors, and policymakers with mutual interests in commodity markets. The mandate for the journal is to present ongoing work within commodity economics and finance. Topics can be related to financialization of commodity markets; pricing, hedging, and risk analysis of commodity derivatives; risk premia in commodity markets; real option analysis for commodity project investment and production; portfolio allocation including commodities; forecasting in commodity markets; corporate finance for commodity-exposed corporations; econometric/statistical analysis of commodity markets; organization of commodity markets; regulation of commodity markets; local and global commodity trading; and commodity supply chains. Commodity markets in this context are energy markets (including renewables), metal markets, mineral markets, agricultural markets, livestock and fish markets, markets for weather derivatives, emission markets, shipping markets, water, and related markets. This interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary journal will cover all commodity markets and is thus relevant for a broad audience. Commodity markets are not only of academic interest but also highly relevant for many practitioners, including asset managers, industrial managers, investment bankers, risk managers, and also policymakers in governments, central banks, and supranational institutions.
