Research on Financial and Commodity Markets: Emerging Trends and Challenges

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue on "Research on Financial and Commodity Markets: Emerging Trends and Challenges" aims to gather a collection of research articles that explore various aspects of commodity and other financial markets (e.g., stock markets, crypto-currencies markets, bond markets, FX markets, etc.) and their interconnections, with a particular emphasis on the impact of current events such as the war in Ukraine and the COVID-19 crisis. The focus of the issue is to provide a comprehensive examination of the current state of research on financial and commodity markets, and to identify relevant areas for future research.

The scope of this Special Issue covers topics such as market structure, price formation, volatility, financialization, asset allocation, risk management, and market efficiency. It also includes studies on the impact of policy and regulatory measures on financial and commodity markets, as well as the relationship between these markets and the global economy.

The purpose of this issue is to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to exchange ideas and share their insights on the latest developments in financial and commodity markets. The ultimate goal is to advance our understanding of these markets and their role in the economy, and to inform the development of policies and strategies that promote market stability and efficiency.

This Special Issue will be a valuable addition to the existing literature on financial and commodity markets by providing an in-depth exploration of the current state of research, and by highlighting areas for future research. This issue will be of interest to scholars and practitioners working in the fields of finance, economics, and business, and will provide a useful resource for those who seek to gain a deeper understanding of financial and commodity markets.
