Abstract

As the frequency of extreme climate events escalates, the financial systems face significant challenges. This paper empirically examines the effects of extreme climate on the volatility of agricultural product futures prices by constructing a network of agricultural product futures. The findings reveal three key impacts: First, extreme climate conditions increase the uncertainty in agricultural product futures supply and investor market expectations, significantly affecting the volatility of futures prices. Second, extreme climate enhance the volatility of agricultural product futures prices by increasing network clustering. Third, the effects of extreme climate on the volatility of agricultural product futures prices are significant in autumn due to seasonal heterogeneity. This paper unveils the mechanisms through which extreme climate impacts agricultural product futures price volatility, offering insights and policy recommendations to relevant sectors for mitigating the effects of extreme climate on the agricultural futures market.
