Motivated by the landmark SEC v. Panuwat case in April 2024, the study proposes an Adaptive Market Graph Intelligence Network (AMGIN) that integrates both industry relationships (e.g., sectoral ties, inter-organizational connections) and dynamic market behaviors (e.g., short/long-term price co-movements) to uncover hidden trading patterns. By modeling the financial market as a spatio-temporal graph, the framework captures complex interdependencies that traditional statistical methods often overlook. Empirical evaluation using US equity market data demonstrates AMGIN’s superior ability to identify subtle, non-obvious relationships indicative of shadow trading, offering regulators a scalable, data-driven tool for modern market surveillance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"86 ","pages":"Article 108524"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145236273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the impact of global tensions on commodity futures, employing the Global Geopolitical Risk (GGPR) index and US‒China Tension (UCT) index as proxies for tension levels. Gold, wheat, and crude oil futures are selected as the core research subjects, with their responses to these tension indices analyzed via asymmetric Granger causality tests and quantile Granger causality tests. These two approaches can not only capture non-linear relationships, but also reveal how impacts vary across different market conditions. Key findings indicate that both the GGPR and UCT indices exert significant asymmetric effects on commodity futures. Moreover, the magnitude and direction of these impacts exhibit notable heterogeneity across the three commodities, driven by their distinct attributes. These results provide valuable empirical evidence, supporting investors in designing targeted asset allocation strategies and assisting policymakers in formulating measures to mitigate the transmission of geopolitical risks in commodity markets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12167,"journal":{"name":"Finance Research Letters","volume":"86 ","pages":"Article 108605"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145217235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
