Abstract

Regarding the importance of the stock market and commodity indexes as a predictive index, in this study, the effect of selected global commodity indices on the index of metal ores in the Tehran Stock Exchange has been investigated. Using the monthly state data from April 25th, 2012 to January 20th, 2020, the impact of the index of Bloomberg industrial metals, and the index of Nasdaq industrial metals on the index of metal ores extraction in Tehran stock exchange were studied by ARDL method. To investigate the existence of the long-term relationship, a bound testing was used. In order to control the effects of liquidity, consumer’s inflation, producer’s inflation, and the exchange rate in the unofficial market on independent and dependent variables, these variables were used as control variables in the model. The results show that the global commodity indexes of CRB without energy, Bloomberg industrial metals index, and Nasdaq industrial metals index have a positive and meaningful relationship with the index of metal ores extraction in the Tehran stock exchange Among the above two indexes, the Nasdaq industrial metals index was more influential on the metal ores extraction index than the Bloomberg industrial metals index.
