Abstract
Aim. Quantitative assessment of inflationary effects arising due to volatility of commodity markets.
Methodology. The key research methods were statistical and comparative types of analysis. Metals commodity market was analyzed in order to evaluate its impact on the final products of the subsequent process stages of the value chain on the US and Russia markets.
Results. Quantitative estimations of the reaction time lags of the next processing stages to the volatility of the metals market have been obtained. Size of the effect of the raw material costs on the inflation of final products of the next processing stages was estimated on the basis of metals commodity market.
Research implications lies in the quantitative understanding of the mechanisms of external commodity shocks price transferring to final products in the economy, which allows enterprises and other economic agents to better take them into account during forecasting their activities and, as a consequence, to reduce the reaction time to the external shock and the inevitable growth of costs during this period.
