Abstract
This study examines the systemic risk spillovers from gold and crude oil to six major emerging market currencies, with particular attention to the role of U.S. dollar (USD) strength in shaping these risk transmission mechanisms. We develop a multi-to-one Conditional Value-at-Risk (MCoVaR) analysis framework, extending the traditional CoVaR methodology by using time-varying canonical vine copulas to capture the dependence structures among gold, oil, and emerging market currencies. Our findings first reveal positive pairwise dependencies between gold, crude oil, and each currency, with heterogeneous dependence structures in how individual currencies relate to the two commodities. Crucially, the MCoVaR estimates confirm that emerging market currencies experience amplified risk spillovers during joint extreme shocks in gold and oil markets. Moreover, USD strength variation plays a crucial role in shaping commodity-to-currency systemic risk transmission by not only directly influencing the valuations of gold, oil, and emerging market currencies but also indirectly affecting the time-varying dependence between these assets. These findings highlight the importance of systemically accounting for joint commodity shocks in currency risk assessment, especially during periods of sustained USD strength with volatile commodity prices.
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.
