Abstract
The aim of this study is to model steel price returns by Lévy process. The daily
LME Steel Billets Spot Prices between 04.01. 2010 and 31.10.2011 are analyzed
and AR[1] ~ GARCH[1,1] discrete model is found to be the best candidate taking
all indicators into account. Then the continuous analogue of the discrete model is
derived from the discrete model parameters. During the overall study, time
(pathwise), distributional and spectral analysis performed. Finally, it is shown that
the volatility simulated from both discrete and continuous models shows similar
volatility patterns. The results of the study could be utilized to predict the
behavior of future steel prices’ moves. In addition, the finding could be a good
reference specialist and researchers who are interested in steel market.
