Commodity price predictability: commodity currencies or global risk factor

In this paper, I argue that global factors also have a role in forecasting commodity prices. That is, both global factors and the exchange rates of small commodity exporters have predictive power over global commodity prices. I show that part of the information embedded in these countries' exch...
