Purpose- The purpose of the study is to examine the dynamics linking
broad money (M3) growth and crude oil volatility, euro/dollar volatility,
commodity option volatility for the case of the US.
Methodology- Causality analysis depending on Vector Error
Correction (VEC) models is employed to estimate the relationship between broad
money (M3) growth and crude oil volatility, euro/dollar volatility, commodity
option volatility for the case of the US.
Findings- Causality analysis results stresses that the balance
sheet size of FED increase the uncertainties commodity and currency markets and
thus volatility in euro/dollar and spot oil price and commodity options can be
raised in the long-term. Both instantaneous causality and Granger causality
indicate that money demand behavior of US economic agents are not affected from
the commodity option, euro/dollar and crude oil volatilities both in short- and
long-run.
Conclusion- Our empirical analysis implies that monetary aggregate
targeting policy of FED can not be negatively mitigated by commodity option
volatility, euro/dollar volatility, crude oil volatility indices. For further
studies and analysis, we suggest the clarification of channels between monetary
policy stance and financial instruments traded in commodity and currency
markets.
