Weathering market swings: Does climate risk matter for agricultural commodity price predictability?
The challenges posed by climate change on the agricultural market have become a pressing concern. An accurate reading of future agricultural commodity prices can be an invaluable planning instrument for diverse interested parties. Here, we explore asset pricing implications of climate risk for the agricultural commodity market from January 2005 to December 2021. Through introducing a composite climate risk index based on the four individual climate risk measures of Faccini et al. (2023), our findings provide valuable insights into the time-series predictability of aggregate climate risk on future agricultural commodity returns, both in- and out-of-sample. This powerful predictability conveys substantial economic benefits to mean–variance investors and cannot be subsumed by conventional economic predictor variables. The evidence further suggests that physical risk, especially global warming, exhibits much stronger return predictability than transition risk. Moreover, we emphasize the pivotal role of climate risk in shaping supply dynamics and capturing investor attention, thereby serving as potential drivers of return predictability. Overall, these predictive insights hold important implications for risk management, investment strategies, and policy formulation in the agricultural commodity market.
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.
