Optimal portfolios in commodity futures markets
We consider portfolio optimization in futures markets. We model the entire futures price curve at once as a solution of a stochastic partial differential equation.

Using this, we recast the portfol...
متن کاملBid - Ask Spreads in Commodity Futures Markets
Issues of recent interest and controversy regarding bid-ask spreads in commodity futures markets are investigated.

This enables market microstructure researchers, regulators, exchange officials, and traders the opportunity to evaluate the usefulness and accuracy of bi...

Chinese commodity futures markets have become some of the most important derivative markets worldwide. This paper studies the optimal hedge ratios on two popular contracts in China, soybeans and copper, by employing copula functions. Our empirical results suggest that the proposed copula hedging strategy outperforms the simple regression method and dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) method b...
متن کاملDeterminants of Hedging and Risk Premia in Commodity Futures Markets
This paper examines the determinants of commodity futures hedging and of risk premia arising from covariation of the futures price with stock market returns, and with the reve? nues of producers. Owing to supply shocks that stochastically redistribute real wealth (surplus) between producers and consumers, and to limited participation in the futures market, the total risk premium in the model is...
متن کاملPredictive Evaluation of Econometric Forecasting Models in Commodity Futures Markets
The predictive accuracy of various econometric models, including random walks, vector autoregressive and vector error-correction models, are investigated using daily futures prices of 4 commodities (the S&P500 index, treasury bonds, gold and crude oil). All models are estimated using a rolling window approach, and evaluated by both in-sample and out-of-sample performance measures. The criteria ...
