Download or read book Price Discovery in the U S Stock and Stock Options Markets written by Richard Holowczak and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Option prices vary with not only the underlying asset price, but also volatilities and higher moments. In this paper, we use a portfolio of options to seclude the value change of the portfolio from the impact of volatility and higher moments. We apply this portfolio approach to the price discovery analysis in the U.S. stock and stock options markets. We find that the price discovery on the directional movement of the stock price mainly occurs in the stock market, more so now than before as an increasing proportion of options market makers adopt automated quoting algorithms. Nevertheless, the options market becomes more informative during periods of significant options trading activities. The informativeness of the options quotes increases further when the options trading activity generates net sell or buy pressure on the underlying stock price, even more so when the pressure is consistent with deviations between the stock and the options market quotes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five U.S. exchanges compete to provide quotes and attract order flows on common set of stock options: the American Stock Exchange, the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, the International Securities Exchange, the Pacific Stock Exchange, and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. In this paper, we investigate the price discovery in the U.S. stock options market. Our analysis shows that the newly founded, fully electronic International Securities Exchange has become the leader in providing options quotes that are the most informative, the most binding, and also the most executable.
Download or read book Price Discovery in Futures and Options Markets written by Naomi E. Boyd and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We evaluate price discovery in the natural gas futures and futures options markets using a transaction based approach. By sampling market maker prices, we allow for a distinction between buy and sell prices, both directly from the futures market, and implied from the options market. Information shares are compared between futures and options markets as well as within the options market. Given the common architecture of the two markets, we find little price information generated in the options market. Within the options market, the highly levered out-of-the-money options offer less price discovery than other options. We attribute this to the higher transactions costs of out-of-the-money options.
Download or read book Behavioral Finance written by Lucy F. Ackert and published by South Western Educational Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book begins by building upon the established, conventional principles of finance that you've have already learned in your principles course. The authors then move into psychological principles of behavioral finance, including heuristics and biases, overconfidence, emotion and social forces. You immediately see how human behavior influences the decisions of individual investors and professional finance practitioners, managers, and markets. You also gain a strong understanding of how social forces impact individuals' choices. The book clearly explains what behavioral finance indicates about observed market outcomes as well as how psychological biases potentially impact the behavior of managers. The book's solid academic approach provides opportunities for you to utilize theory and complete applications in every chapter as you learn the implications of behavioral finance on retirement, pensions, education, debiasing, and client management. The book spends a significant amount of time examining how today's practitioners can use behavioral finance to further their professional success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates changes in the price discovery portions for two popular securities based on the S&P 500 index, namely the S&P 500 E-mini futures and the SPDR Exchange Traded Fund (Ticker SPY) for the period Jan 2002 through Dec 2013. We show a significant change in the price discovery of these two securities over this period. The E-mini futures are dominant for price discovery until 2007, though on a steady decline. After 2007 the SPY ETF dominates the price discovery process.
Download or read book Tumbling Titans The Changing Patterns of Price Discovery in the U S Equity Market written by Joachim Grammig and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the implementation of Regulation NMS in 2007, the U.S. equity market became highly fragmented. The traditional exchanges, in particular the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), lost substantial trading volume to the off-exchange market. We investigate the extent to which this development has been accompanied by a fragmentation of price discovery across established exchanges and off-exchange trading venues. The results of analyzing high frequency data of 91 U.S. stocks over a period of six years show that the contribution of the NYSE to price discovery has sharply declined; as of 2012, it even was overtaken by the Nasdaq. Trading in the off-exchange market also contributes to price discovery with rapidly increasing shares. Using daily estimates, we document a positive link between liquidity and price discovery contributions and offer evidence that liquidity Granger-causes price discovery for NYSE, Nasdaq, and trades reported through trade-reporting facilities.

Download or read book Price Discovery Across Option and Equity Prices written by Hayden Kane and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper measures the channels by which private information is incorporated in prices in the equity and option markets. Using a mispricing events approach and conditioning on the option market being the cause of the mispricing event, I analyse the subsequent behaviour of both the options and equity markets and I find that options markets play an important role in the price discovery process. When conditioning on option caused mispricing events, the equity price adjusts towards the options price to reconcile the prices. I find that around 40% of the option caused mispricing events contain information, and the equity prices adjust 35-40%, depending on the exchange, of the maximum discrepancy before prices reconcile. When the equity market causes the mispricing, the option market follows due to the autoquote mechanism. Additionally, I use Monte Carlo to assess the suitability of the Hasbrouck (1995) Information Share and Gonzalo-Granger (1995) Component Share measures in the option-equity context. I find that neither metric is suitable, however the Putnins (2013) Information Leadership metric is and the options market has on average a 35% information leadership share.

Download or read book Price Discovery During Parallel Stocks and Options Preopening written by Shmuel Hauser and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many stock exchanges implement advanced procedures toward preventing manipulative orders from distorting informative price discovery during preopening sessions. Often, such sessions involve both the stock and options markets, with book-based indicative stock prices and traded index options, whose underlying is the indicative index. Significant differences between the options-implied and the indicative indexes may point at either differences in informational efficiencies, or that one of the markets is manipulated. Using a unique dataset, we explore informational (prices) and transactional (liquidity) efficiencies. We find significant price and illiquidity patterns similar to those predicted by theoretical models of manipulation, but also informational inefficiencies.
Download or read book The Economic Function of a Stock Exchange written by Robert A. Schwartz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-21 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, exchanges on both sides of the Atlantic have been extensively reengineered, and their organizational structures have changed from non-profit, membership organizations to for-profit, demutualized organizations. Concurrently, new alternative trading systems have emerged and the traditional functions of broker/dealer firms have evolved. How have these changes affected the delivery of that mission? How has the efficiency of capital raising in the IPO market been impacted? These are among the key questions addressed in this book, titled after the Baruch College Conference, The Economic Function of a Stock Market. Featuring contributions from a panel of scholars, academicians, policymakers, and industry leaders, this volume examines current issues affecting market quality, including challenges in the marketplace, growth opportunities, and IPO capital raising in the global economy. The Zicklin School of Business Financial Markets Series presents the insights emerging from a sequence of conferences hosted by the Zicklin School at Baruch College for industry professionals, regulators, and scholars. Much more than historical documents, the transcripts from the conferences are edited for clarity, perspective and context; material and comments from subsequent interviews with the panelists and speakers are integrated for a complete thematic presentation. Each book is focused on a well delineated topic, but all deliver broader insights into the quality and efficiency of the U.S. equity markets and the dynamic forces changing them.
