Dataset Card for Sentiment Analysis of Commodity News (Gold)

This is a news dataset for the commodity market which has been manually annotated for 10,000+ news headlines across multiple dimensions into various classes. The dataset has been sampled from a period of 20+ years (2000-2021). The dataset was curated by Ankur Sinha and Tanmay Khandait and is detailed in their paper "Impact of News on the Commodity Market: Dataset and Results." It is currently published by the authors on… See the full description on the dataset page: https://huggingface.co/datasets/SaguaroCapital/sentiment-analysis-in-commodity-market-gold.

The purpose of this study was to look at the cointegration, spillover impact, and lead-lag connection for returns across spot price and the futures price of products gold and silver. Everyday spot and futures prices of Gold and Silver, which were heavily exchanged on the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX) throughout 2019-2020, were used to compile the data for this study. The return series are considered for testing the spillover effect between the series through GARCH (1,1) Model. The series are checked for stationarity before using the GARCH (1,1) model. The ADF (Augmented Dickey Fuller) test was used to examine the return series' stationarity. The Johansen cointegration and Granger causality tests were used to validating the cointegration and lead-lag connection between futures and spot pricing for chosen bullion commodities after the return series was confirmed stationary. The analysis helps to achieve the following Hypotheses: H01: There is no stationarity in the dataset for the chosen bullion commodities. H02: Cointegration between futures and spot prices is not present in the market for the chosen bullion commodities. H03: The futures price is not influenced by the spot price for the chosen bullion commodities. H04: The Spot price is not influenced by the Futures price for the chosen bullion commodities

The finding provides a new view of the series cointegration, lead-lag, and spillover effect. The spot and futures prices of gold and silver are considered for price discovery. It tells derivatives traders that gold and silver are preferable assets for hedgers and speculators to diversify their portfolios.

Since then, gold prices have been rising and after the economic crisis of 2008, the price of gold rose at higher rates than ever before as the market began to see gold as an increasingly good investment. History has shown, gold is seen as a good investment in times of uncertainty because it can or is thought to function as a good store of value against a declining currency as well as providing protection against inflation. However, unlike other commodities, once gold is mined it does not get used up like other commodities (for example, such as gasoline). So while gold may be a good investment at times, the supply demand argument does not apply to gold. Nonetheless, the demand for gold has been mostly consistent.
