The Return‐Implied Volatility Relation for Commodity ETFs

Abstract: We examine the return‐implied volatility relation by employing “commodity” option VIXs for the euro, gold, and oil. This relation is substantially weaker than for stock indexes. We propose several potential reasons for these unusually weak results. Also, gold possesses an unusual positive contemporaneous return coefficient, which is consistent with a demand volatility skew rather than the typical investment skew. Moreover, the euro and gold are not asymmetric. We relate the results to trading strategies, algor… Show more

“…For oil markets this "inverse leverage effect" has been confirmed by Wei et al (2010) who found significant indications of its existence in the ICE Brent market. However, together with Wang et al (2008), Agnolucci (2009) and Padungsaksawasdi and Daigler (2013) found no evidence of such effects in the WTI futures market. Padungsaksawasdi and Daigler (2013) also conclude that although behavioral theories proved weak explanations for returnvolatility relations in commodity markets they make more sense than the leverage hypothesis.…”

“…In addition, it found an asymmetric association in this relation. Padungsaksawasdi and Daigler (2014) investigated the return-volatility relation of ETF funds of the euro, gold and oil, with daily and intraday data. Their results indicated two points: first, that the euro and gold do not have an asymmetric return-volatility relation.…”

“…As we all known, there are many factors that can improve the forecasting performance, for example, open interest [16][17][18], bid-ask spread [18][19][20], daily returns [18,[21][22][23][24]. To the best of our knowledge, we find that there have been a few studies investigating about these influencing factors in forecasting multifractal volatility.…”
