This paper analyses the co-movements between the United States stock market and several commodity futures between 1997 and 2011, by computing dynamic conditional correlations at: (i) 1-hour; (ii) 5-minute; (iii) 10-second; and (iv) 1-second frequencies. We document a synchronized structural break,...

We propose a “reflexivity” index that quantifies the relative importance of short-term endogeneity/reflexivity for several commodity futures markets (corn, oil, soybeans, sugar, and wheat) and a benchmark equity futures market (E-mini S&P 500). Our reflexivity index is defined as the average...

We propose a “reflexivity” index that quantifies the relative importance of short-term endogeneity for several commodity futures markets (corn, oil, soybean, sugar, and wheat) and a benchmark equity futures market (E-mini S&P 500), from mid-2000s to October 2012. Our reflexivity index is...

This paper analyses the intraday co-movements between returns on several commodity markets and on the stock market in the United States over the 1997-2011 period. By exploiting a new high frequency database, we compute various rolling correlations at (i) 1-hour, (ii) 5-minute, (iii) 10-second,...

We examine the relation among daily returns to crude oil prices, equity prices, and commodity markets by modifying previous efforts in two important ways; expanding the model to include the equity price for an oil-producing firm, ConocoPhillips, which ameliorates omitted variable bias and...
