Extreme dependence and spillovers between uncertainty indices and stock markets: Does the US market play a major role?

This study investigates the spillovers and connectedness between uncertainty indices of oil gold, and stock (VIX), the economic policy uncertainty (EPU) and international stock markets (US, EU, UK, Japan, China, and Vietnam) under bearish, normal, and bullish market conditions. We employ a cross-quantilogram and quantile connectedness approach to investigate the contem-poraneous linkages and asymmetries among stock markets under various financial market un-certainty. Using the cross-quantilogram approach, we find strong cross-quantilogram dependencies from the US stock market to other markets, even after controlling for the un-certainties. We find greater spillovers under volatile market conditions-bearish and bullish-- than under stable market conditions using the quantile connectedness approach. The financial volatility or uncertainty indices are net transmitter (receiver) of spillover in the stock markets, especially in the bearish and tranquil (bullish) market status. Furthermore, all markets and the uncertainty indices except the US, Europe, and the UK are net receivers of spillovers in the lower quantile, while VIX uncertainty index shifts to being a net transmitter of spillovers in the lower and median quantiles. In the upper quantile, Japanese stock market and the uncertainty indices are net receivers of spillovers. VIX is strongly linked to the US (Chinese) market in tranquil (bullish) market conditions. In addition, the maximum amount of spillovers was attained during the beginning of 2020, coinciding with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic's first wave.
