Abstract

This study proposes a novel framework to explore the quantile connectedness among fintech, carbon future, and energy markets with implications for hedging and investment strategies. We aim to construct portfolio strategies for extreme market conditions based on the results of quantile connectedness to address the complex price fluctuations in the energy markets. Using the daily data from January 4, 2017, to March 6, 2023, we find that (i) carbon future and crude oil are the net receivers, while fintech and clean energy are the net contributors. However, the net spillover direction of fintech, carbon futures, and energy markets change frequently under extreme market conditions; (ii) the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine conflict significantly enhance connectedness across all quantile levels; (iii) the sample period is dominated by the lower quantile connectedness, indicating that investors react more strongly to bad news. Furthermore, the result of portfolios shows that, compared to normal market conditions, the dynamic investment weights of minimum connectedness (MCOP) exhibit greater volatility under extreme market conditions. This highlights the differences in portfolio adjustments across different market conditions. In addition, the result shows that the minimum connectedness and minimum correlation portfolio have a greater cumulative return than the minimum variance portfolio. The analysis based on the Sharpe ratio shows that in extreme market conditions, carbon futures and fintech can serve as effective hedging tools for the energy markets. Robustness tests further confirmed our conclusions. Our results have positive implications for decision-makers and investors about risk management and diversified portfolio selection.
