The relationship between spot and futures prices an empirical analysis

This paper presents an empirical analysis of the relationship between spot and futures prices in regional Australian electricity markets. Based on economic theory, we expect that the forward prices will be related to the expected spot price according to fundamental market expectations. Using the data of copper and aluminum,this paper examines the long-term and dynamic relationship between the futures price and spot price.The results suggest a unidirectional causality relationship running from futures price to spot price for both copper and aluminum.This shows that it is futures price that plays a more important role in the process of price discovery process.

This study provides an empirical test of this hypothesis using daily changes in LME average copper prices over the 1994–2011 period. It finds that the correlation coefficients between day-to-day changes in spot and futures prices are quite close to 1 during periods of strong contango. During periods of backwardation and weak contango, the Table 1 reports the correlation coefficients between the daily changes in the spot price and the futures prices 3, 15, and 27 months forward on the London Metal Exchange over the period April 1994 to April 2011 for periods (a) when the market is in strong contango (assuming a convenience yield of zero) and (b) when the market is in backwardation or weak contango.

Relationship between Indian Spot and Future Crude Oil Prices: A Phasewise Empirical Analysis

Using the data of copper and aluminum,this paper examines the long-term and dynamic relationship between the futures price and spot price.The results suggest a unidirectional causality relationship running from futures price to spot price for both copper and aluminum.This shows that it is futures price that plays a more important role in the process of price discovery process. The aim of this paper is to analyze the dynamic relationship between spot and futures prices, and to establish if there is the possibility of a valid “period by period” prediction of the futures price conditional on the prediction of the spot price, and vice-versa. The empirical analysis is conducted on the two most important energy commodities, crude oil and natural gas, and on gold, the The poor fit of the Bessembinder and Lemmon model is supported by Redl et al. (2009), who performs an empirical analysis on futures and spot prices in the Nordic market without finding support for the implications of the model for the relationship between risk premium and spot price variance and skewness. The empirical evidence of a causal linkage from spot to futures prices can be attributed to the sequence of actions taken from the three market participants following a spot price change, as described in the Moosa model (1996). In that, arbitrageurs respond to the violation of the cost-of-carry condition and then speculators acting upon the This paper presents an empirical analysis of the relationship between spot and futures prices in regional Australian electricity markets.
