Gold and commodity prices as leading indicators of inflation: tests of the long-run relationship and predictive performance
Article Abstract:
A historical check of using gold and commodity prices as leading inflation indicators reveals that the emphasis on gold as inflation indicator is misplaced with the eclectic integration of the consumer price index (CPI) and that the commodity price index is preferred. The study also reveals that error correction for CPI and commodity price indicators are insignificant in improving predictive performance.
