The paper contributes to the rare literature modeling term structure of crude oil markets. We explain term structure of crude oil prices using dynamic Nelson-Siegel model, and propose to forecast them with the generalized regression framework based on neural networks. The newly proposed...

This paper analyses the attributes and the significance of the roughness of oil market volatility. We employ unspanned stochastic volatility models driven by rough Brownian motions that yield semi-analytical prices for futures options entailing efficient calibration applications. By performing a...

This paper examines the role of term structure versus spot price trends in determining commodity futures returns. The paper reviews backwardation and discusses how over very long timeframes, the term structure of a commodity futures curve has been the dominant driver of returns for individual...
