Abstract

We apply a time-varying parameter VAR (TVP-VAR) extended joint connectedness approach, in addition to the generalized connectedness approach, to understand the connectedness of crude oil futures price and exchange rates of major oil-dependent countries. We find time-varying nature of pair-wise and total connectedness that are usually elevated during events such as COVID-19, Brexit, European sovereign debt crisis and global financial crisis. Both joint and generalized connectedness approaches confirm that Japanese Yen and Russian Ruble are the leading net receiver of the shocks, though the two approaches provide mixed results for some other currencies. Moreover, there is strong evidence of time-varying and bi-directional shock transmissions between oil and foreign exchange markets. We also show that oil price volatility and gold price have predictive power on the connectedness. Lastly, we analyse the policy and portfolio implications.
