Convenience yield, realised volatility and jumps: Evidence from non-ferrous metalsAkihiro Omura, Bin Li, Richard Chung and Neda Todorova Economic Modelling, 2018, vol. 70, issue C, 496-510 Abstract: Under the notion of convenience yield, a price of spot contract inherits relative implied value, against futures/forward contracts, for being readily available. This study examines the presence of a short-term lead-lag relationship between the volatility of futures price changes (including its decomposed components) and the convenience yield of major base metals, namely, aluminium, copper, nickel and zinc. Since an increase in the level of volatility may stimulate the demand for inventory, this study aims to provide alternative measures to understand the dynamic behaviour of convenience yield. Taken together, the results mostly support the presence of statistically significant relationships between the convenience yield and the realised volatility, which can be used for constructing effective inventory and investment strategies.
