Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Global commodity markets have evolved substantially in the last two decades. In recent years, extensive transformations have taken place in commodity markets due to the impacts of climate change, the outbreak of COVID-19, the Russia–Ukraine war and the cold war between the US and China. This has led to a sizeable increase in the volatility of the commodity markets. With the financialization of commodities, the association between commodity markets and financial markets has arrested the attention of numerous academic researchers, investors, companies, government, regulators, and policy makers.

This Special Issue aims to compile a collection of articles that attend to the recent transformations in commodity markets. We invite the submission of empirical research papers that focus on commodity markets and particularly those that attend to topics including, but not limited to, forecasting and portfolio allocation, the financialization of commodity markets, market integration, volatility transmission and risk analysis, pricing and hedging in commodity markets, commodity supply chains, commodity market regulation and trading, and energy and metals.

The submission deadline is 31st October 2024. Please do not hesitate to email us if you have any queries.

This study strives to examine when and where most of the gold smuggling takes place in India. It further analyses the causal relationship between smuggled gold and other macroeconomic variables. Finally, it analyses how the smuggled gold affects the Indian bullion industry. The data related to gold smuggling has been sourced from the website of the Directorate Revenue Intelligence and analysed using graphs and the Granger causality test. The variables used in the study are the quantity of smuggled gold, exchange rates, the major stock indices in the world, the number of auspicious days in a month, domestic and international gold prices, India’s jewellery export, the GDP, customs duty, and the domestic gold supply. The results revealed that most of the gold smuggling takes place on Fridays and mostly occurs in the months of October, November, and December. The states of West Bengal, Delhi, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu account for most of the gold smuggling in India. A positive correlation is observed between the smuggled gold, India’s gold demand, the number of auspicious days in the month, India’s jewellery export, India’s GDP, India’s domestic gold supply, and stock indices such as SENSEX, FTSE100, DFMGI. Gold smuggling in India is caused by India’s gold demand, the level of jewellery export, the GDP, domestic and international gold prices, and India’s customs duty. Full article

The integration of commodities into stock exchanges marked a pivotal moment in the analysis of price dynamics. Commodities are essential for both daily sustenance and industrial processes and are separated into hard commodities, like metals, and soft commodities, such as agricultural produce. This paper provides a review of the relevant literature concerning the implications of commodity price volatility on commercial and financial landscapes, recognizing its profound impact on global economies. Drawing from Google Scholar and Science Direct, we analyze trends in academic publications until 2022, particularly focusing on the interplay between volatility spillover and ten different commodities, providing insights into the evolution of research paradigms over time. In a nutshell, the literature suggests that relationships between hard commodities are stronger since, in addition to being raw materials, they also serve as investment products. For the same reason, relationships between agricultural products appear to be relatively weaker. Full article
