Using GARCH volatility forecasting in measuring commodity risk: Case of crude oil futures
In this paper the author analyses the applicability of measuring risk of an open position in commodities, i.e. crude oil futures by using standard Value at Risk models that are usually used in measuring equity and FX risk. When forming capital requirements, financial institutions can use either standardized methods or advanced internal models, which enables them to hold lower capital requirements, but on the other hand requires research and investment in skilled employees and software solutions. When measuring risks associated with holding open positions in commodities, financial institutions usually use the standardized approach prescribed by the Basel Committee. A poor track record of the Standardised approach and simple approaches to measuring risk has overwhelmingly been proven in the scientific literature. GARCH volatility models provide superior volatility forecasts for commodity prices, and use the existing structure of the data to extrapolate the future values of random variables, which may, for a financial institution, create a competitive advantage. Use of more advanced risk management techniques does not have to be limited only to financial institutions, but can also provide valuable information to other companies, such as oil and mining companies.
