Abstract

We compare volatility forecasts using daily data and intraday data at different frequencies from the Chinese commodity futures market. Focusing on aluminium, copper and fuel oil futures contracts with 3 months to maturity, our empirical results suggest that in the out-of-sample forecasting tests, there is little informational advantage in generating volatility forecasts using intraday data.
