This study examines the role of market sentiment in predicting the price bubbles of four strategic metal commodities (gold, silver, palladium, and platinum) from January 1985 to August 2020. It is the first to investigate this topic using sentiment indices, including news-based economic and consumer-based sentiments developed using different methods. We observed the role of sentiment as a reliable indicator of future bubbles for some metal commodities and found that bubbles were regularly concomitant with bearish sentiments for gold and platinum. Moreover, gold and palladium were the only commodities that experienced a bubble during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, our findings suggest inclusion of sentiment to the model that predicts the price bubbles of precious metals.

The OPEC+, composed of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC oil-producing countries, exerts considerable influence over the global crude oil market. However, existing literature lacks a comprehensive application of this factor in oil price forecasting, primarily due to the complexity of measuring such policy evolutions. To address this research gap, this study develops a news-based OPEC+ policy index based on text mining methods for comprehensive analysis and forecasting of the oil price.
