The connectedness between bitcoin, stock market, gold, oil, bond and exchange rate: evidence from quantile var approach and portfolio strategies

Summary/Abstract: This study examines the dynamic connectedness between Bitcoin and various financial assets, including the stock market, gold, oil, bonds, and exchange rates, as well as explores portfolio strategies involving these assets. The study covers the period from January 2, 2015, to March 1, 2024. The quantile connectedness approach and portfolio strategies are utilized in the analysis. The findings are as follows: Intermarket volatility spillover significantly increases under extreme conditions. Bitcoin emerges as a transmitter during bullish markets and acts as a receiver in bearish and normal market conditions. Gold serves as a receiver in extreme conditions and a transmitter in normal conditions. Unlike gold, oil acts as a transmitter under extreme conditions and functions as a receiver under normal conditions. Among the fundamental markets, the stock market is the most significant shock transmitter. In risk-mitigating portfolios, the proportion of Bitcoin is low, while the proportions of gold and the dollar index are high. Bitcoin has been found to have low hedging properties.
