Download or read book Intraday Market Dynamics Around Public Information Arrivals written by Angelo Ranaldo and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I analyze the impact of the arrival of public information on the intraday trading of highly liquid stocks quoted on the Paris Bourse. Using the Reuters alert system, I gather a large sample of firm-specific news and analyze market behavior around news releases. I estimate the transaction cost components around public information releases. I find that there is a disclosure impact on both trading and order flow. I also find that trading around news releases is characterized by relatively small adverse selection and order processing costs, and high order persistence.

Download or read book Public Information Arrival and Volatility of Intraday Stock Returns written by Petko S. Kalev and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study employs firm-specific announcements as a proxy for information flows and investigates the information-volatility relation using high-frequency data from the Australian Stock Exchange. Our analysis reveals a positive and significant impact of the arrival rate of the selected news variable on the conditional variance of stock returns, even after controlling for the potential effects of trading volume and high opening volatility. Furthermore, the inclusion of the news variable in the conditional variance equation of the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic model also reduces volatility persistence, especially with intraday data. Combined with the evidence that news arrivals display a very strong pattern of autocorrelation, our results are consistent with the Mixture of Distribution Hypothesis, which attributes conditional heteroscedasticity of stock returns to time-dependence in the news arrival process.
Download or read book Handbook of High Frequency Trading written by Greg N. Gregoriou and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive examination of high frequency trading looks beyond mathematical models, which are the subject of most HFT books, to the mechanics of the marketplace. In 25 chapters, researchers probe the intricate nature of high frequency market dynamics, market structure, back-office processes, and regulation. They look deeply into computing infrastructure, describing data sources, formats, and required processing rates as well as software architecture and current technologies. They also create contexts, explaining the historical rise of automated trading systems, corresponding technological advances in hardware and software, and the evolution of the trading landscape. Developed for students and professionals who want more than discussions on the econometrics of the modelling process, The Handbook of High Frequency Trading explains the entirety of this controversial trading strategy. Answers all questions about high frequency trading without being limited to mathematical modelling Illuminates market dynamics, processes, and regulations Explains how high frequency trading evolved and predicts its future developments
Download or read book Public Information Arrival Exchange Rate Volatility and Quote Frequency written by Michael Melvin and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mixture of distributions model motivates the role of public information arrival in foreign exchange market dynamics. Public information arrival is measured using Reuters Money-Market Headline News. The exchange rates are high-frequency mark/dollar and yen/dollar quotes. Estimation results suggest that higher than normal public information brings more than the normal quoting activity and volatility. The results have implications for the debate over regulation of the foreign exchange market. Foreign exchange activity is not largely self-generating. Trading is likely providing the function it is meant to provide-adjusting prices and quantities to achieve an efficient allocation of resources.

Download or read book The Intraday Effect of Public Information written by Calum Stewart Robertson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The efficient market hypothesis states that an efficient market incorporates all available information to provide an accurate valuation of an asset at any given time. Most trading models rely only on numerical information such as return, volatility, and volume to forecast the value of an asset. However, the market is also influenced by the occurrence of textual information in the form of analyst recommendations, annual reports, macroeconomic news, and press announcements. A plethora of research has analysed how markets react to macroeconomic news both intraday and in the longer term. However, asset specific news is far more common than macroeconomic news and little research has evaluated the intraday market reaction to this type of news. In this paper we analyse how assets on the US, UK and Australian stock markets react after news deemed relevant by the Bloomberg Professionalreg; service has been released. To our knowledge this is the most comprehensive evaluation of the intraday effect of asset specific news on the stock market. We find strong evidence that these markets react quickly and decisively to asset specific news throughout the day. We also find evidence of intraday seasonality's in these markets, which effect the markets reaction to news.

Download or read book The High frequency Effects of U S Macroeconomic Data Releases on Prices and Trading Activity in the Global Interdealer Foreign Exchange Market written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We introduce a new high-frequency foreign exchange dataset from EBS (Electronic Broking Service) that includes trading volume in the global interdealer spot market, data not previously available to researchers. The data also gives live transactable quotes, rather than the indicative quotes that have been used in most previous high frequency foreign exchange analysis. We describe intraday volume and volatility patterns in euro-dollar and dollar-yen trading. We study the effects of scheduled U.S. macroeconomic data releases, first confirming the finding of recent literature that the conditional mean of the exchange rate responds very quickly to the unexpected component of data releases. We next study the effects of data releases on trading volumes. News releases cause volume to rise, and to remain elevated for a longer period. However, in contrast to the result for the level of the exchange rate, even if the data release is entirely in line with expectations, we find that there is still typically a large pickup in trading volume"--Federal Reserve Board web site.

Download or read book Non Scheduled News Arrival and High Frequency Stock Market Dynamics written by Lee A. Smales and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The high-frequency market reaction to intraday stock-specific news flow is examined over the period January 2000 to November 2011. Data on novelty, relevance, and direction of company-specific news for the ASX50 leading Australian stocks is garnered from the Ravenpack news analytics tool. Unconditional analysis of key variables around 484,440 news items discovers distinct responses in market activity, volatility, bid-ask spreads and returns. Classification of news according to indicated relevance is critical to identify significant effects. Reaction of market activity, volatility and spreads is greatest for negative news. These findings are confirmed when controlling for market dynamics and cross-dependencies between variables in a high-frequency VAR model.
Download or read book Exchange Rate Dynamics written by Martin D. D. Evans and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-14 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive and in-depth look at exchange-rate dynamics Variations in the foreign exchange market influence all aspects of the world economy, and understanding these dynamics is one of the great challenges of international economics. This book provides a new, comprehensive, and in-depth examination of the standard theories and latest research in exchange-rate economics. Covering a vast swath of theoretical and empirical work, the book explores established theories of exchange-rate determination using macroeconomic fundamentals, and presents unique microbased approaches that combine the insights of microstructure models with the macroeconomic forces driving currency trading. Macroeconomic models have long assumed that agents—households, firms, financial institutions, and central banks—all have the same information about the structure of the economy and therefore hold the same expectations and uncertainties regarding foreign currency returns. Microbased models, however, look at how heterogeneous information influences the trading decisions of agents and becomes embedded in exchange rates. Replicating key features of actual currency markets, these microbased models generate a rich array of empirical predictions concerning trading patterns and exchange-rate dynamics that are strongly supported by data. The models also show how changing macroeconomic conditions exert an influence on short-term exchange-rate dynamics via their impact on currency trading. Designed for graduate courses in international macroeconomics, international finance, and finance, and as a go-to reference for researchers in international economics, Exchange-Rate Dynamics guides readers through a range of literature on exchange-rate determination, offering fresh insights for further reading and research. Comprehensive and in-depth examination of the latest research in exchange-rate economics Outlines theoretical and empirical research across the spectrum of modeling approaches Presents new results on the importance of currency trading in exchange-rate determination Provides new perspectives on long-standing puzzles in exchange-rate economics End-of-chapter questions cement key ideas
