Abstract

Gold is considered as a reliable investment tool for long-term savings and/or investment portfolios. Investors who do not like high risks trust gold to be a safe haven commodity that can mitigate the impact of any financial crisis. Gold and stocks are often used as substitutes for each other, where the two have an inverse relationship. Copula is used to capture the dependence relationship between world gold prices and the stock indexes. The data used are the stock index data for the JKSE Indonesia), PSE (Phillipines), Nikkei 225 (Japan), HSI (Hong Kong), and world gold prices (XAU) from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2019. From the data, the ARMA-GARCH model is made to solve the problem of autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity. Then, the correlation between assets is calculated using the rank correlation. Furthermore, four pairs of data are made from each stock index with the price of gold. Next, the best copula and the estimated Value-at-Risk (VaR) are sought for each portfolio. From the results of the selecting of the best copula for each pair of data, it is found that gold can be a safe haven asset in the Hong Kong's stock market. The VaR results show that the biggest loss is in the Japanese market.
