Yarovaya, Larisa and Elsayed, Ahmed H. and Hammoudeh, Shawkat (2021) 'Determinants of spillovers between Islamic and conventional financial markets: Exploring the safe haven assets during the COVID-19 pandemic.', Finance research letters., 43 . p. 101979.

Abstract

We analyse the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the spillovers between conventional and Islamic stock and bond markets. We further analyse comparatively whether gold, oil, Bitcoin prices, and VIX and EPU indexes affect the relationships between these markets during the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. The results show that the Islamic bonds (Sukuk) demonstrate safe haven properties during this pandemic crisis, while the spillovers between conventional and Islamic stock markets become stronger during the pandemic outbreak. COVID-19, Oil and gold are strong predictors of the conventional-Islamic markets spillovers, while Bitcoin is not a significant determinant of these relationships.
