| ''Can Exchange Rates Forecast Commodity Prices? Recent Evidence using Australian Data'' |
| ( 2013, Vol. 33 No.1 ) |
| |
| |
| Recent papers by Chen et al (2009, 2010) suggest that exchange rates have predictive power over future commodity price movements. We use a Vector Error-Correction model to test this hypothesis using Australian data. We find substantial evidence of in-sample forecasting power but are unable to consistently out-perform naïve benchmarks for out-of-sample forecasts. |
