International Journal of Trade and Global Markets (IJTGM), Vol. 8, No. 2, 2015

Abstract: Our paper connects to the literature emphasising the importance of the links between Islamic capital markets and commodities. To this end, we focus on the dynamics of the correlations between commodities and Islamic indices. Using the approach of Dynamic Conditional Correlation (DCC), this paper attempts to shed light into the dynamic relationship between two strategic commodities (crude oil and natural gas) and the QE Al Rayan Islamic index, over the period from 15 March 2011 to 25 December 2014. The empirical evidence suggests that volatilities of commodity returns are strongly correlated to those of stock index. Notably, this result highlights the financialisation of commodity markets.
