We empirically reinvestigate the issue of excess comovement of commodity prices initially raised in Pindyck and Rotemberg (1990) and show that excess comovement, when it exists, can be related to hedging pressure and speculative intensity in commodity futures markets. Excess comovement appears...

This paper evaluates the predictability of WTI light sweet crude oil futures by us- ing the variance risk premium, i.e. the difference between model-free measures of implied and realized volatilities. Additional regressors known for their ability to ex- plain crude oil futures prices are also...

This paper investigates price transmissions across European energy forward markets at distinct maturities during both normal times and extreme ?uctuation periods. To this end, we rely on the traditional Granger causality test (in mean) and its multivariate extension in tail distribution...
