Oil Volatility Spillover on MENA Stock Markets: a DCC-GARCH Approach and Portfolio Analysis

European Modern Studies Journal , 2022

This study examines the effect of oil volatility on MENA stock market return. We select four oil importer countries (Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia) and four oil exporter countries (Oman, EAU, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia). The time horizon of the study is from January 2014 to August 2021. We use in the first step a univariate Threshold-GARCH (1,1) by employing the calculated oil volatility as an exogenous variable in the mean and variance equation of stock returns. In the second step, we employ a multivariate DCC-GARCH to compute the dynamic conditional correlation between oil and the stock market, the optimal portfolio and Hedge effectiveness index. The results indicate that oil volatility has a weak influence on stock market returns but has a very significant effect on stock market volatility for oil-importing (negative) and exporting (positive) countries. We also discover a strong correlation between the oil market and the stock market of oil-exporting countries. In addition, investing in oil assets is more efficient in terms of minimizing portfolio risk.

Is Oil a Financial Asset? An Empirical Investigation Spanning the Last Fifteen Years

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2009

The growing presence of financial operators in the oil markets has modified oil price dynamics. The diffusion of techniques based on extrapolative expectations-such as feedback trading-leads to departures of prices from their fundamental values and increases their variability. Oil price changes are here associated with changes in stocks, bonds and effective USD exchange rate. The feedback trading mechanism is combined with an ICAPM and provides a model which is then estimated in a CCC GARCH-M framework, both the risk premium and the feedback trading components of the conditional means being nonlinear functions of the system's conditional variances and covariances. The empirical analysis identifies a structural change in the year 2000. From then on oil returns tend to become more reactive to the remaining assets of the model and feedback trading more pervasive. A comparison is drawn between three and four asset minimum variance portfolios in the two sub-periods, 1992-1999 and 2000-2008. Oil acquires in the second period, besides its standard properties as a physical commodity, the characteristics of a financial asset. Indeed, the trade-off between risk and returns-measured here by the average return per unit of risk index-indicates that in the last decade oil diversifies away the empirical risk of our portfolio.

Time-Varying Term Structure of Oil Risk Premiums

2018

This paper proposes to extract time-varying commodity risk premiums from multi-factor models using futures prices and analyst ́s forecasts of future prices. The model is calibrated for oil using a 3-factor stochastic commodity-pricing model with an affine risk-premium specification. WTI futures price data is from NYMEX and analyst ́s forecasts from Bloomberg and the U.S Energy Information Administration. Weekly estimations for short, medium and long-term risk premiums between 2010 and 2017 are obtained. Results from the model calibration show that risk premiums are clearly stochastic, that short-term risk premiums tend to be higher than long-term ones and that risk premium volatility is much higher for short maturities. An empirical analysis is performed to explore the macroeconomic and oil market variables that may explain the stochastic behavior oil risk-premiums.

Oil Price Movements and Equity Returns: Evidence from the GCC Countries

2015

This study examines to what extent how oil movements differently affect equity returns in general and sectoral levels of the GCC countries stock markets. Modeling the equity returns volatility requires using GARCH-type models. These models help to explore the pronounced differences of the conditional variance structures across sectors and markets. Chapter 1 compares the effects of changes in oil price return and its volatility on equity returns and volatility across sectors. The findings of this chapter show that despite the GCC states dependency on oil revenues, equity market performance at the sectoral level do not exactly associate with oil movements. Our results, in particular, show that the GCC stock markets do not always move hand-in-hand with oil market movements. In chapter 2, we explore the relationship within a specific sector, i.e. Banks sector in Saudi Arabia Stock market. We examine if oil price changes affect Islamic banks differently than conventional ones. The findin...

Analysing volatility spillover between the oil market and the stock market in oil-importing and oil-exporting countries: Implications on portfolio management

Keywords: Volatility spillover Oil market Stock markets Oil-importing and oil-exporting countries Portfolio and hedging implications Symmetric and asymmetric DCC-GARCH modelsJEL classification: F65 G11 A B S T R A C T This study analyses the volatility spillover between the oil market and the stock market of oil-importing and oil-exporting countries using daily data over the period from January 2010 to December 2016. The study also explores the portfolio and hedging implications based on dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) and corrected DCC (cDCC) GARCH models. For the analysis, we have used symmetric and asymmetric versions of DCC and cDCC models. Specifically, in the symmetric version of DCC and cDCC, the estimations are based on GARCH (1,1), and in the asymmetric version of DCC and cDDC, the estimations are based on GJR-GARCH (1,1), FIGARCH (1,1) and FIEGARCH (1,1) models, and for each case, we have explored the portfolio and hedging implications. Overall, the evidence indicates that oil-importing countries are severely affected by lagged oil price shocks, and there is less evidence of interdependence between stock markets for both oil-importing and oil-exporting countries. Further, we find that the lagged volatility in the oil market and stock market has a statistically significant impact on the current volatility in its respective markets. The results from the asymmetric analysis show that the magnitudes of the negative shocks are higher than those of the positive shocks. The overall results from portfolio optimization reveal that investors in oil-exporting countries should hold more oil assets in the portfolio to hedge the risk.

OIL PRICES AND STOCK MARKET CORRELATION: A TIME-VARYING APPROACH

2013

This paper examines the influence of oil prices on stock market time-varying correlation. Five stock market indices from both oil-importing (US, UK and Germany) and oilexporting economies (Canada and Norway) are considered for the period 1988-2011. The findings from the DCC-GARCH framework suggest that the effects of oil price changes on stock market correlation are not constant over time and they depend on the status of the economy, i.e. whether it is oil-importing or oil-exporting. In addition, utilising the identification of oil price shocks in [1], [2] and [3] it is found that the aggregate demand shocks and precautionary demand shocks tend to exercise a negative effect on stock market correlation, whereas no effects from the supply-side oil price shocks can be reported. These findings have important implications for international portfolio diversifications and risk management.

An Introduction to Oil Market Volatility Analysis

Modeling and forecasting crude oil price volatility is crucial in many financial and investment applications. The main purpose of this paper is to review and assess the current state of oil market volatility knowledge. It highlights the properties and characteristics of the oil price volatility that models seek to capture, and discuss the different modeling approaches to oil price volatility. Asymmetric response to price change, persistence and mean reversion, structural breaks, and possible market spillover of volatility are discussed. To complement the discussion, WTI futures price data is used to illustrate these properties using non-parametric and conditional modeling methods. The GARCH-type models usually applied in the oil price volatility literature are also explored. We additionally examine the exogenous factors that may influence volatility in the oil markets.

Modeling Price Volatility of Nigerian Crude Oil Markets Using GARCH Model: 1987-2017

Volatility and the risk-return trade off of crude oil or crude oil market participation is essential to National Investment, decision making, marketing, and the determination of the financial strength of Nations among other things. Therefore, this research study was targeted at modeling price volatility and the risk-return related to crude oil export in Nigerian crude oil market using the first order asymmetric and symmetric univariate Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (GARCH) family model in three distributional assumptions namely, Normal, student's-t and generalized error distribution. To achieve this target, three objectives with three research questions and two hypotheses were raised for the study. The data for the study was extracted from the Central Bank of Nigeria online statistical database starting from January, 1987 to June, and 2017. The results from the statistical analysis reveal that the markets were optimistic of their investment and other trade related activities. Sequel to that, there were high probabilities of gains than losses. Although, the variables use in these markets were extremely volatiles and shows evidence there exists positive risk first-rated meaning that investments or investors deserved rewards for holding risky assets. In estimation, first order symmetric GARCH model (GARCH, (1,1) in student's-t error assumption gave a better fit than the first order Asymmetric GARCH model (EGARCH (1,1)) in Normal error distributional assumptions. However, the selected models were subjected to several diagnostic test such as ARCH effect test, test for serial correlation and QQ-plot in order to validate their fitness which was confirmed to be appropriate. And recommendations were made to the Government to look for new ways to diversify the economy from total dependence on oil to non-crude oil such as agriculture, manufacturing and mining sector. For investors or marketers in this markets, they were advice to be mindful in trading in a highly volatile period especially when there is evidence of high standard deviation in the descriptive statistic of the return series and in modeling volatility of price return of certain micro/ macroeconomic variable the leverage effect of such variable should be properly estimated using asymmetric GARCH model.

The impact of crude oil prices on Chinese stock markets and selected sectors: evidence from the VAR-DCC-GARCH model

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022

The interaction between oil and stock market returns is one of the most important relationships that have a significant influence on the economy of any country all over the world. Therefore, this paper investigates the impact of crude oil prices on the Chinese stock market and selected industries by using the VAR-DCC-GARCH model over the period from December 26, 2001, to April 30, 2019. The empirical results show that the impact of Brent crude oil prices on the Shanghai Composite Index and selected industries is significant. However, there are some variations in these relationships and the degree of influence on each differs during different sample periods. Brent crude oil prices exert substantial influence on some specific industries, like mining, chemical, nonferrous metals, and steel. Whereas, the volatility spillover effect of Brent crude oil prices is stronger within the mining, chemical, steel, nonferrous metal, building materials, building decoration, electrical equipment, electrical equipment, textile and garment, light manufacturing, public utility, and transportation industries than within other industries. When oil prices change abruptly, the risk of spillover impacts of oil prices on stock markets will also increase. In conclusion, the impact of Brent crude oil prices on the Chinese stock market is generally positive. Furthermore, the subsequent volatility of Chinese stock market prices will, in turn, influence the volatility spillover of Brent crude oil prices on the indexes. The result is an ongoing back and forth of changes in price volatilities.
