内容摘要：

We investigate the dependence structures between prices of crude oil, natural gas, steam coal, and iron ore, the Australian dollar, and the Chinese RMB exchange rates. Dependence structures are analyzed and compared using copula models. Our evidence shows that the rises in the commodity prices are along with a depreciation of the Australian dollar and an appreciation of the Chinese RMB. For the period 2010—2015, the oil prices were main contributors to the dynamics of the Australian dollar and the Chinese RMB exchange rates. For the period 2015—2018, the dominant effect of oil prices on the Australian dollar and the Chinese RMB was diminished. Simultaneously, the weak association between the steam coal prices and the Chinese RMB was seen, accompanied by the prominent relation between the gas prices and the Chinese RMB. Our results may clarify the impact of the China’s national policy to adjust its resource demand on the commodity prices and help policy makers hedge the financial risks from the commodity market.
