Resumen
Using a drifting spillover index approach (Diebold and Yilmaz, 2012) and a continuous time-frequency tool (Torrence and Webster, 1999), this paper attempts an empirical investigation of the spillovers and co-movements among commodity and stock prices in the major oil-producing and consuming countries. While our results point to the existence of a significant interdependence among the markets considered, Chinese and Saudi Arabian stock markets seem to be weakly integrated into the world market. Moreover, the spillovers are time-varying and reached their highest levels during the COVID-19 medical shock.
