Abstract

This paper presents a unique time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) based extended joint connectedness approach to quantify the connectedness and transmission mechanism of shocks of nine commodities futures returns (namely; Gold and Silver from the category of precious metals; Copper, Lead, Zinc, Nickel and Aluminium from the category of base or industry metals; Natural Gas and Brent Crude Oil from energy sector) obtained from Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (MCX) from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2021. This paper employs Balcilar et al. (2021)'s TVP-VAR extended joint connectedness approach, which combines the TVP-VAR connectedness approach of Antonakakis et al. (2020) with the joint spillover approach of Lastrapes and Wiesen (2021), to investigate the dynamic connectedness among the select commodity futures of interest. Our findings show that system-wide dynamic connectedness varies over time and is driven by economic events. The pandemic shocks appear to have an impact on system-wide dynamic connectedness, which peaks during the COVID-19 pandemic. Crude oil and zinc are the primary net shock transmitters, whereas gold and silver are the primary net shock receivers. We also discovered that the role of aluminum in shock transmitters and shock receivers changed during the course of the investigation. Pairwise connectivity, on the other hand, shows that Zinc, Copper, Nickel, and Crude oil are the key drivers of gold price changes, explaining the network's high degree of interconnectivity. During the study period, it was also discovered that silver has a significant influence on gold. Furthermore, in comparison to natural gas, gold's spillover activity is still relatively modest (on a scale), indicating that gold is less sensitive to market innovations.
