Analysis of the Interactive Linkages Between Gold Prices, Oil Prices, and Exchange Rate in India

This study investigates the co-movements and linkages among gold prices, oil prices, and Indian rupee-dollar exchange rates for the time span of 12 January 2004 to 30 April 2015 to investigate whether Indian economic policy-makers should detach financial policies from energy policies. Various econometrical methods such as Johansen's cointegration test, vector autoregressive model, Granger causality test, and impulse response were used to explain the co-movements among the variables. We find that gold prices, oil prices, and rupee-dollar exchange rates stay substantially independent from each other, which denotes energy policies and financial policies must be detached.
