Download or read book Early Unwinding of Futures Arbitrage written by Gilles B. Desvilles and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cost of Carry Model posits that the price of a term contract is worth its underlying plus the cost of its carry minus its revenues. But when the contract is a future it is endowed with a pre-settlement feature and we show that it is proper to adjust the future price with the value of an implicit option said of early unwinding.In the presence of market bid-ask spreads, the option assimilates to either a call on a cash and carry position, or a put on the reverse position. With this option the no-pure-arbitrage range where the future freely fluctuates is narrower than the corresponding forward bid-ask spread, which means that future prices dominate forward prices. Our model respects future fungibility, fully characterizes the underlying synthetic asset of the option, and relies only on proved results.We value numerically the early unwinding option by risk-neutral valuation on a tree. For the short future maturities, the price in absence of transaction costs decreases significantly when these costs are introduced, but for long maturities the option price remains high. In some cases it is even so high that the futures becomes inefficient by continuously offering pure arbitrage opportunities.

Download or read book Early Unwinding Strategy in Index Options Futures Arbitrage written by Louis T. W. Cheng and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We first re-examine buy-and-hold arbitrage strategies using both ex-post and ex-ante index options and futures data in Hong Kong. The results show that the arbitrage profit is not large enough to cover the transaction costs for both individual and institutional investors. Second, we find that, when an early unwinding strategy is employed, the arbitrage profit improves significantly under an ex-post analysis but only improves slightly under an ex-ante analysis. In addition, opportunities for same-day unwinding are very limited. Finally, our regression results indicate that the magnitude of the arbitrage profit is positively related to the volatility of the stock market.

Book excerpt: This study utilizes both real-time transaction prices and bid-ask quotes in evaluating the profitability of arbitrage strategies for the Hong Kong index futures and index options market. Taking into account the bid-ask spread in identifying arbitrage opportunities, we avoid the selection bias problem associated with using transaction prices. The percentage of observations violating no-arbitrage bounds is significantly reduced when we employ bid-ask quotes instead of transaction prices. This suggests that studies which implement arbitrage strategies based on transaction prices employ prices from the wrong side of the spread. We find a relationship between the frequency of violations (evaluated from transaction prices) and the size of bid-ask spreads in the futures and options markets. This indicates that a larger mispricing, which may arise when the bid-ask spread is wider, does not necessarily imply profitable arbitrage opportunity.

Liquidity and Asset Prices surveys the theory of liquidity-based asset pricing followed by the empirical evidence.

Download or read book Market Liquidity written by Thierry Foucault and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The process by which securities are traded is very different from the idealized picture of a frictionless and self-equilibrating market offered by the typical finance textbook. This book offers a more accurate and authoritative take on this process. The book starts from the assumption that not everyone is present at all times simultaneously on the market, and that participants have quite diverse information about the security's fundamentals. As a result, the order flow is a complex mix of information and noise, and a consensus price only emerges gradually over time as the trading process evolves and the participants interpret the actions of other traders. Thus, a security's actual transaction price may deviate from its fundamental value, as it would be assessed by a fully informed set of investors. The book takes these deviations seriously, and explains why and how they emerge in the trading process and are eventually eliminated. The authors draw on a vast body of theoretical insights and empirical findings on security price formation that have come to form a well-defined field within financial economics known as "market microstructure." Focusing on liquidity and price discovery, the book analyzes the tension between the two, pointing out that when price-relevant information reaches the market through trading pressure rather than through a public announcement, liquidity may suffer. It also confronts many striking phenomena in securities markets and uses the analytical tools and empirical methods of market microstructure to understand them. These include issues such as why liquidity changes over time and differs across securities, why large trades move prices up or down, and why these price changes are subsequently reversed, and why we observe temporary deviations from asset fair values"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widespread availability of high-quality, high-frequency data has revolutionised the study of financial markets. By describing not only asset prices, but also market participants' actions and interactions, this wealth of information offers a new window into the inner workings of the financial ecosystem. In this original text, the authors discuss empirical facts of financial markets and introduce a wide range of models, from the micro-scale mechanics of individual order arrivals to the emergent, macro-scale issues of market stability. Throughout this journey, data is king. All discussions are firmly rooted in the empirical behaviour of real stocks, and all models are calibrated and evaluated using recent data from Nasdaq. By confronting theory with empirical facts, this book for practitioners, researchers and advanced students provides a fresh, new, and often surprising perspective on topics as diverse as optimal trading, price impact, the fragile nature of liquidity, and even the reasons why people trade at all.
