Abstract
Interdependencies between commodity prices can arise from the impact of changing macroeconomic variables, from
complementarities or substitutabilities between commodities, or from common responses by speculators. Malliaris
and Urrutia (1996) found significant linkages between rollover prices of six related agricultural
commodities on the Chicago Board of Trade. This article examines interdependencies between futures prices for soft
commodities traded on the London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE), calculated using
Clark indices. Results show that there are no interdependencies between any two prices; price discovery of
one contract provides no information about others. ยฉ 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Jrl Fut Mark 22:
