Decoding systemic risks across commodities and emerging market stock markets by Fahmi Ghallabi, Ahmed Ghorbel, Sitara Karim

“…Abstract This study explores correlations and risk spillovers, essential concepts for financial risk management, among commodities (crude oil, gold, and a global commodities index) and emerging stock markets. Using the Asymmetric Dynamic Conditional Correlation–Conditional Value-at-Risk (ADCC-CoVaR) model and a bootstrapped Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) test, we analyze the period from December 30, 2005, to February 28, 2024, examining correlations, downside and upside risk spillovers, and highlighting the effects of major events such as the global financial crisis of 2008, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Russia-Ukraine war. …”
