Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We explore the time series properties of overnight and daytime returns on the London Stock Exchange's primary stock market index, the FTSE-100 on the over the 1984-1991 period. We use a modified GARCH model to specify daytime and overnight return dynamics where (a) intra-day returns can have different impacts and persistence on stock return volatility, (b) return effects on volatility can be asymmetric and (c) intra-day returns can follow conditional distributions with different fourth moments. We uncover important changes in return dynamics and conditional fourth moments following the stock exchange's major restructuring called quot;Big Bangquot;, which merged broker and dealer functions and after the1987 stock market crash.
Download or read book Stock Returns Around Non Trading Periods written by Ali C. Akyol and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I examine intraday stock returns in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) around non-trading periods - weekends and holidays - by utilizing the exchange's structure of two trading sessions. I find that returns are generally more positive in the last session on Fridays and more negative in the first session on Mondays. The results also indicate that the weekend effect has disappeared in the ISE in recent years. I further find some evidence that there is a relationship between the length of a holiday non-trading period and returns around it. The longer a non-trading period is, the more positive the returns are in the morning session before the holiday and the less positive the returns are in the morning session after the holiday. My findings indicate the importance of the uncertainty imposed on stock returns by the length of a non-trading period.
Download or read book Round the clock Trading written by Allan W. Kleidon and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper uses transactions data from the London Stock Exchange to characterize the intraday pattern of security prices and trading volume for securities trading on SEAQ. It focuses in more detail on a sample of U.K. firms that are cross-listed on the NYSE. Using additional data from the NYSE-AMEX (I5SM), we compare volatility, volume, and quotes as trading starts in London and then continues in New York. These firms have substantially longer trading hours than most singly-listed stocks, and are also traded in two markets with very different institutional setups. This is shown to have several important implications for theories on intraday behavior of prices, the organization of exchanges, and the general consequences of round-the-clock trading.

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"--

Download or read book Guardians of Finance written by James R. Barth and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2014-08-29 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the unaccountable, unmonitorable, and unchecked actions of regulators precipitated the global financial crisis; and how to reform the system. The recent financial crisis was an accident, a “perfect storm” fueled by an unforeseeable confluence of events that unfortunately combined to bring down the global financial systems. Or at least this is the story told and retold by a chorus of luminaries that includes Timothy Geithner, Henry Paulson, Robert Rubin, Ben Bernanke, and Alan Greenspan. In Guardians of Finance, economists James Barth, Gerard Caprio, and Ross Levine argue that the financial meltdown of 2007 to 2009 was no accident; it was negligent homicide. They show that senior regulatory officials around the world knew or should have known that their policies were destabilizing the global financial system and yet chose not to act until the crisis had fully emerged. Barth, Caprio, and Levine propose a reform to counter this systemic failure: the establishment of a “Sentinel” to provide an informed, expert, and independent assessment of financial regulation. Its sole power would be to demand information and to evaluate it from the perspective of the public—rather than that of the financial industry, the regulators, or politicians.
