Abstract

This study examines risk transmission among developed and emerging market ETFs after the Russian and Hamas invasions. Our findings reveal a wave-like pattern in interconnectedness among international ETFs, characterized by an initial decrease, subsequent rebound, and decline. Post-invasion, Germany and France emerge as primary net transmitters of volatility, while China, UAE, and Saudi Arabia act as major net receivers. Overall, China and UAE become economical hedges, while Germany and France serve as optimal risk reducers. For the U.S. ETF, China offers cost-effective hedging, while Canada effectively reduces its risks. South Africa helps the China ETF efficiently mitigate risks.
