Specifically, the paper evaluates stock markets in Cote d'Ivoire (BRVM), Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa and Tunisia, for risk-return relationship. The paper employs AR(p)-GARCH(1, 1)-in-mean model on the seven stock markets over the 4 January 2010 to 30 November 2018 study period. The results evince positive and significant risk-return trade-off in the South Africa, Tunisia and Morocco stock markets. The results also show existence of positive but insignificant risk premium coefficients for the other Africa stock markets, which imply that stock markets in Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, Mauritius, and Nigeria may not have compensated investors for inherent systematic risk. The results further suggest that investments in many of the Africa stock markets over the sample period would have provided returns uncorrelated with risk.","PeriodicalId":202228,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Bonds and Derivatives","volume":"45 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133680663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The efficiency of national commodities market can be achieved when the market incorporates price information from these major commodity exchanges across the globe. Commodity futures market in general is said to inculcate all available information related to it from the spot market. Recently, the regulating authorities of the commodity exchanges in India have permitted 'eligible foreign entities' to participate in commodity derivatives markets for hedging their exposure. However, global entities speculate commodity prices through various commodity funds and have been considered as a popular financial investment rather than hedging (Mahalakshmi et al., 2012a). Thereby, commodity derivatives market imbibes international price information. Therefore, this paper deals with the objective of analysing the causal relationship that may exist among domestic spot, futures and overseas commodity prices.","PeriodicalId":202228,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Bonds and Derivatives","volume":"468 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123657281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study has been conducted with ten commodities based on the availability of data and liquidity for the period of 2010 to 2020. Augmented dickey-fuller (ADF) test is used to check the stationarity of the price series. The study uses Johansen's cointegration test to check for the long-run relationship between the spot and the futures market. VECM and EGARCH(1,1) analysis is performed to examine the market efficiency, price discovery relationships, short-run relationships, and volatility spillover in Indian commodity markets. The study found efficiency in both the future and the spot market. Futures market leads spot markets for some commodities and absorbs the information shock faster and hence are more efficient and the same is verified by Granger causality. There is also evidence of bidirectional causality. The study found leverage effect, persistence effect, and volatility spillover effect for spot and futures markets.","PeriodicalId":202228,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Bonds and Derivatives","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128035860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In India, the retail investors are visible mainly in equity markets, whereas the institutional investors are involved in both the markets. Largely interest rates in the economy along with inflation rates and risk in equity markets influences the bond market yields. This paper examines the impact of equity market returns, volatility in equity markets (VIX) and rupee-dollar exchange rate on bond yields. As volatility in the equity market increases the demand for fixed income securities increases, thereby reducing the returns on bonds. In this study it is assumed that the various economic factors affecting bond yield are constant and it is the equity market returns, its volatility and the exchange rate which affects the bond yields.","PeriodicalId":202228,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Bonds and Derivatives","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122302838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
