摘要：Aim of this study is to determine winning and losing periods with Markov regime-switching models in the gold market. Monthly return data of BIST and London gold markets are used for the period July 1995-July 2015. Results show that Markov regime-switching models are more suitable than the linear model for analyzing the gold returns and also the probabilities of remaining within the same regime are high for the gold returns. Another finding is that two months lagged value of London gold returns affect BIST gold returns.
