Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The intricate linkage between energy markets and financial markets has become increasingly critical in a world facing heightened volatility, geopolitical tensions, and the accelerating transition toward sustainable energy. Shocks in energy markets—whether due to supply disruptions, policy changes, or technological shifts—often reverberate across financial systems, influencing asset prices, risk perceptions, and investment strategies. Understanding how risks are transmitted between these markets, and how they can be effectively hedged, is essential for informed decision-making.
This Special Issue aims to bring together cutting-edge research that explores the dynamic interactions between energy markets (i.e., fossil fuels, renewables, electricity, minerals, etc.) and financial markets (i.e., stocks, bonds, forex, and cryptocurrency), with a focus on risk transmission, spillover effects, and innovative risk-hedging strategies. The topic is timely and highly relevant not only for academic researchers but also for practitioners managing portfolios exposed to energy and financial risks, and for policymakers seeking to enhance market stability and resilience. We welcome empirical and theoretical contributions that provide new insights into these complex interdependencies and support the development of more robust financial systems in the face of energy-related shocks.
