摘要
We examine liquidity commonality in commodity futures markets. Using data from 16 agricultural, energy, industrial metal, precious metal, and livestock commodities, we show there is a strong systematic liquidity factor in commodities. Liquidity commonality was present in 1997-2003 when commodity prices were relatively stable and during the recent boom. There is some support for both "supply-side" and "demand-side" explanations for this commonality. We find no evidence of a consistent link between stock and commodity liquidity in general. Energy commodities appear to provide a better hedge against equity market liquidity risk than the other commodity families. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
