In this study, the volatility spillovers from the S&P 500 to the precious metals (gold, silver and platinum) are investigated. By using the TGARCH and DCC GARCH model, the evidence is found that there are spillovers between the S&P 500 and these global commodity markets. However, there are some...

This paper empirically examines the degree of persistence in four precious metal prices (i.e., gold, palladium, platinum, and silver) during the last four U.S. recessions. Unit root tests and fractional integration techniques suggest that gold still is the most prominent safe haven asset within...

This paper investigates the diversification contribution of four main precious metals (i.e., gold, silver, platinum, and palladium) to a traditional portfolio of stocks, bonds, cash, and currencies, as well as the impact of the global financial crisis of 2008 on that contribution. We use a...

This paper empirically examines the degree of persistence in four precious metal prices (i.e., gold, palladium, platinum, and silver) during the last four U.S. recessions. Unit root tests and fractional integration techniques suggest that gold still is the most prominent safe haven asset within...

In this paper, we investigate the extent to which precious metals can be used as a hedge from the perspective of global supply chain uncertainty (GSCU), which is significant for obtaining higher investment returns. This exploration uses the wavelet-based quantile-on-quantile regression (QQR)...

This study examines the role of market sentiment in predicting the price bubbles of four strategic metal commodities (gold, silver, palladium, and platinum) from January 1985 to August 2020. It is the first to investigate this topic using sentiment indices, including news-based economic and...

This study examines the nexus between precious metals (gold and silver) and oil (crude oil and heating oil) realized volatilities introducing a novel quantile extended joint connectedness framework combining quantile vector autoregression (White et al., 2015) with the extended joint...

Scholars of Islamic Economics and Finance are increasingly exploring the suitability of digital monies in Sharīʿah compliant transactions. This research looked at the suitability of precious metal-backed cryptocurrencies (PMC) that are expected to offer stability in the finance and banking...

In this study, we examine the frequency volatility spillovers, connectedness, and quantile dependence between precious metals futures (gold, palladium, platinum, and silver) and the main US foreign exchange rates of Australia, Canada, China, Eurozone, Japan, Switzerland, and the UK. We use them...

Recent work has suggested that precious metals can be used as inflation hedges in several African nations. A closer examination of the data suggests there is little merit to using precious metals for this purpose. While consumer prices, platinum prices, and (potentially) the exchange rate may be...

This paper investigates the price stability properties of precious metals during the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis, and 2010 Eurozone Crisis. To analyse the interaction between precious metal prices and the US stock market stock performances, we use the ICSS...

This paper proposes a novel quantile vector autoregressive extended joint connectedness framework to examine realized volatilities spillovers between oil and precious metals commodities using daily data from May 1st, 2006 until June 18th, 2021. Our findings suggest that crude oil is the main net...

Within finance, there is an area of investment based on the role in investment opportunities that are expected to increase in value in the short or long term, further to this, will also increase a profit for the investor. Depending on preferences, risk propensity and available trading...

We investigate the time-varying dynamics of the precious metal markets. We employ a mixed data sampling technique to identify the impact of macroeconomic and financial drivers from G7 and BRICS countries on the daily volatility and pairwise correlation of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium....

We report new evidence that speculation in energy and precious metal futures are more prevalent in crisis periods and even more so during the COVID-19 pandemic. In contrast, agricultural futures attract more hedging pressure. Post-GFC patterns mirror the 1980s’ recessions. Using quantile...

This study investigates the hedge and safe-haven properties of precious metals for African stock markets and report a strong safe-haven and hedging potential of precious metals for African stock markets with gold showing a consistent display of these features from the GARCH model. Results from...

The COVID 19 pandemic has had wide-ranging and severe effects on global economies. Stock markets as usual were the first to react, with drop rates as much as the global financial crises of 2008. This study uses daily data to model the dynamic impact of the COVID 19 pandemic on the first affected...

In addition to a myriad of industrial uses, precious metals continue to play an important role in the global financial system; they are increasingly popular as an investment and form part of a well-diversified portfolio in addition to acting as central bank reserves. Understanding how...
