Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether the fluctuations of RMB/USD exchange rate can predict the Chinese industry return volatilities during post-financial crisis period. Our in-sample results show there is significant Granger causality from RMB/USD exchange rate fluctuations to China’s industry return volatilities. The out-of-sample results also indicate the RMB/USD exchange rate fluctuations extracts significantly useful information from the predictors. Further analysis about the energy industry shows that simple linear regression is sufficient for capturing predictive relationships between RMB/USD exchange rate fluctuations and energy industry volatility.
