Abstract

We examine the profitability of a cross-asset time-series momentum strategy (XTSMOM) constructed using past changes in crude oil–implied volatility (OVX) and stock market returns as joint predictors. We show that employing the past changes in OVX in addition to past stock returns helps better predict future stock market returns globally. The XTSMOM outperforms the single-asset time-series momentum (TSMOM) and buy & hold strategies with higher mean returns, lower standard deviations, and higher Sharpe ratios. The XTSMOM can also forecast economic cycles. We contribute to the literature on cross-asset momentum spillovers as well as on the impacts of crude oil uncertainty on stock markets.
