The lead/lag relationship between spot and futures prices has been examined by using Granger causality test. The study shows that spot and futures prices are cointegrated in long-run for most of the commodities. Information spillover observed form spot market to spot market for most of the commodities. Moreover, the Granger causality test shows that spot prices are the Granger cause of futures prices for all the commodities except the index MCXAGRI.
