Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the broad topic of “Comovement of International Financial Markets”, including novel research on the relationships between international financial markets. Contributions concerning all types of international financial markets, including international stocks, bonds, foreign exchange markets, and other financial markets, are encouraged.

We also welcome papers on theoretical financial economics models, financial econometrics, or empirical assets that expand our understanding of the co-movement and integration of international financial markets.

We examined the evolution of cross-market linkages between four major precious metals and US stock returns, before (Phase I) and after (Phase II) the COVID-19 outbreak. Phase II was also extended to encompass the Ukrainian conflict, which prolonged the period of uncertainty in financial markets. Due to the increase in volatility observed in Phase II, we used a heteroskedasticity-adjusted correlation coefficient to examine the evolution of correlation changes since the COVID-19 outbreak. We also propose a relevant dissimilarity measure in multidimensional scaling analysis that can be used for depicting associations between financial returns in turbulent times. Our results suggest that (i) the correlation levels of gold, silver, platinum, and palladium returns with US stock returns have not changed substantially since the COVID-19 outbreak, and (ii) all precious metal returns exhibit movements that are less synchronized with US stock returns, with palladium and gold being the least synchronized.
