Abstract
Purpose - The rapid change of crude oil price
in the international market has attacted several investors into examining price
fluctuations. The estimation regarding to the exact monthly price of the brent
oil has always been a diffucult task in the business sector.
Methodology - In this study, the directions of the monthly Brent oil prices from January 2003
to January 2017are analyzed using the Markov Chains of Fuzzy States technique.
In the first instance, the data are classified into twenty-one fuzzy states,
and then calculated the probability transition matrix of the fuzzy states for
the given period.
Findings- The
directions of the monthly Brent oil prices are analyzed with transition matrix.
Next the steady condition of the Brent
oil return is obtained. These results give valuable information to decision
makers regarding the investment opportunities of Brent oil for the short and
long term marketing strategies.
Conclusion- In crucial
months, when a monthly return increases or decreases significantly, the
proceeding month’s expected return also increase or decreases significantly.
The proposed model can be used to estimate short term returns (one day) and
also employing several fuzzy sets may give more investment opportunities.
