COVID crash: a study of volatility spillovers from stocks to us indexes and from us indexes to cryptocurrencies

Abstract

During market crashes, panic ensues, investors run to cover and usually only in the aftermath questions arise: How? How much? In which markets? Where did it start? This work seeks to answer some of these questions by quantifying the volatility spillovers from stocks to indexes, but also indexes to cryptocurrency. Not only there is a quantification by variance ratios of the contribution of one asset to another but as well a demonstration of the irregularity and uniqueness of these spillovers compared to other moments in the market’s history. The results from this work shed some light in the intricate relationship of causal effects in volatility such as which stocks contribute the most to the variance of each index and how much of a grip do US indexes have on the overall stability of the cryptocurrencies market. To achieve this, a relatively recent method was employed, described by Christiansen and Bekaert et al., but with some customization to adjust to the particular cases, allowing to perform variance decomposition based on multiple applications of AR-GARCH family models. Since the method relies on sums of decomposed variance, the greatest challenge is to produce variables (time series) independent from each other, and thereby, ignore covariance terms that would interfere with the validity of the analysis. On US indexes to cryptocurrency, the dummy variables were found significant and relevant to the overall modelling of the data, indicating that the period of the market crash is important to future models which otherwise would incur in significant bias that would change the results by orders of magnitude on the variance ratio. On stocks to US indexes, the dummy variables were found to be insignificant at the final results level (conditional correlations and variance ratios), however, not on most individual prices and returns. The period of the market crash is clear graphically by finding a major dip of all conditional correlations, which indicates that no single stock had a major influence during this time and that it was an phenomenon which affected all stocks. Stocks with individual movements that had more influence on the index continued to have the relevance during the market crash. During market crashes, this behavior is expected and this work adds confirmation. By comparing results from both cases, a relationship between eventual spikes in stocks and trend changes in cryptocurrency becomes apparent. This work does not clarify the reason as to why it happens but only its consequence and the cause seems to be exogenous to both cryptocurrency, indexes and possibly stocks. Further work is needed to explain it.
