Abstrak

Pandemik COVID-19 telah memberi kesan negatif terhadap sektor kewangan dan ekonomi dunia. Secara umumnya, pelabur akan mula melabur dalam aset berisiko rendah seperti emas dan minyak mentah ketika ekonomi tidak stabil. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji hubungan komoditi terhadap indeks Bursa Malaysia KLCI (KLSE) dan menentukan sifat emas Barrick Gold Corp (GOLD) dan harga minyak mentah hadapan (WTI). Hubungan antara KLSE, GOLD dan WTI boleh membantu pelabur dalam memahami pengaruh aset komoditi terhadap indeks pasaran saham Malaysia semasa pandemik COVID-19. Data kajian ini diambil untuk empat masa yang berbeza iaitu selama 40 hari sebelum dan semasa perintah kawalan pergerakan (PKP) Fasa 1 serta Fasa 3 pandemik COVID-19. Tempoh ini merangkumi 17 Januari hingga 17 Mac 2020 dan 18 Mac hingga 18 Mei 2020 untuk sebelum dan semasa Fasa 1 dan 29 Mac hingga 28 Mei 2021 dan 1 Jun hingga 29 Julai 2021 untuk sebelum dan semasa Fasa 3. Kaedah yang digunakan adalah regresi linear siri masa (TSLM) dan regresi kuantil (QREG). Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan harga minyak mentah hadapan (WTI) mempunyai hubungan linear terhadap harga indeks KLSE sebelum PKP Fasa 1 dan merupakan aset selamat semasa PKP Fasa 1 dan 3. Seterusnya, harga emas Barrick Gold Corp (LGOLD) merupakan aset lindung nilai bagi kesemua fasa PKP kecuali semasa PKP Fasa 3 dan merupakan aset selamat sebelum PKP Fasa 1. Pelabur boleh menggabungkan emas dan pasaran saham ke dalam portfolio atau melabur ke dalam instrumen minyak bagi merendahkan risiko kerugian.

 

Kata kunci: Aset lindung nilai; aset selamat; regresi kuantil; regresi linear siri masa

 

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the financial sector and world’s economy. Generally, investors will invest in low-risk assets such as gold and crude oil when the economy is unstable. Therefore, this study aims to examine the relationship between these commodities towards Bursa Malaysia KLCI (KLSE) price index and to determine the properties of Barrick Gold Corp (GOLD) and Crude Oil WTI Futures (WTI). The relationship between KLSE, GOLD, and WTI help investors to understand the impact of commodity assets on Malaysia index market during COVID-19 pandemic. The data were collected at four different time points, 40 days before and during phase 1 and 3 of movement control order (MCO). The period are from 17 January to 17 March 2020 and 18 March to 18 May 2020 for before and during phase 1 and 29 March to 28 May 2021 and 1 June to 29 July 2021 for before and during phase 3. The time series linear regression (TSLM) and quantile regression (QREG) methods were used. Crude Oil WTI Futures (WTI) showed a linear relationship with FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (KLSE) before phase 1 of MCO and acts as a safe haven asset during MCO of phase 1 and 3. Next, Barrick Gold Corp (LGOLD) is a hedging asset for all phases of MCO except during phase 3 of the MCO and is a safe haven asset prior to MCO phase 1. Investors can combine gold and stock market into their portfolio or invest in oil related instruments to lower the risk of losses.

 

Keywords: Hedge asset; quantile regression; safe haven asset; time series linear regression
