Abstract:
In this paper we test for the existence of equity market contagion, originating from oil price fluctuations, to regional and domestic stock markets. The data are collected over the period from April 1993 to April 2015. We apply an empirical multifactor asset pricing model with three-factor setting to capture the unexpected return and disentangle simple correlation due to fundamentals and contagion. We investigate four regions: the European Monetary Union (EMU), Asia-Pacific (AP), the Non-European Monetary Union (NEMU) and North America (NA). We define contagion as the excess correlation that is not explained by fundamental factors. Oil price risk is shown to be a factor as important as contagion. In addition, oil price fluctuations amplify contagion in the context of regional markets strongly interlinked with the USA.

Abstract:
This study investigates the occurrence of stock market contagion effects stemming from strategic commodities and the United States (U.S.) equity markets to major oil and gas exporting nations amid the COVID-19 and Russian-Ukraine crises. Employing a multi-factor asset pricing model and risks spillover technique, we scrutinize the sensitivities of market returns to these risk factors and the dynamics of shocks transmission among market sensitivities over time. Our findings reveal that these equity markets generally demonstrate positive and variable sensitivities to the three factors, with Canada, UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia experiencing significant periods of negative response to the gas price factor. Notably, the Russian market exhibited the highest responsiveness to the U.S. factor at the outbreak of the Russian-Ukraine war, whereas the Russian market displays the greatest sensitivity to both oil and gas price risks. The degree of shocks propagation among market sensitivities is about 75.8% and is mainly driver by sensitivities to the U.S. market factor in the energy market, followed by the sensitivity of oil prices to the gas market. Policymakers in these nations should be cautious of potential contagion from the US market and these critical commodities, particularly oil, to mitigate any adverse impacts on their economies.
