This study investigates the impact of news implied volatility (NVIX) and its two sub‐components (news about stock markets, SMI, and news about banks and other financial intermediaries, FII) on the long‐term volatilities of commodity futures. Our empirical results clearly show that NVIX behaves heterogeneously in energy and non‐energy sectors. NVIX exerts a positively significant influence on volatilities of non‐energy futures. By contrast, volatilities of energy futures cannot be triggered by NVIX. We further show that SMI significantly affects both energy and non‐energy futures, whereas, FII only impacts non‐energy futures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
