Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we apply a structural model to investigate the main determinants of the bid-ask spread for Australian covered warrants. These instruments are also referred to as bank-issued options. They have been mainly promoted to retail investors, and have attracted the interest of market practitioners and academics, based upon their tremendous growth in trading volume across several stock exchanges. Three main determinants are found that significantly contribute to the size of the warrant bid-ask spread. The first two determinants relate to the inventory risk management practices of market makers and include the initial cost of setting up a delta neutral portfolio, as well as rebalancing costs to keep the portfolio delta neutral. This particular result validates that the spread of warrants are positively related to the spread of the underlying asset. The last determinant relates to adverse selection costs, where market makers incorporate a reservation bid-ask spread to protect themselves from scalpers. No evidence is found to show that a higher level of market competition among warrant issuers leads to a narrower warrant spread.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines two different option markets to test whether differences in the level of adverse selection faced by market makers affects the size of bid-ask spreads. The data are from bank-issued options that trade on EuWax, where market makers face little adverse selection and traditional options that trade on EuRex. The results support the hypothesis that the adverse selection component of the bid-ask spread is important as options on EuWax have lower bid-ask spreads than comparable options on EuRex. The results show that the adverse selection component represents at least half of the overall bid-ask spread on the traditional EuRex.

Download or read book Option Bid Ask Spread and Scalping Risk written by Giovanni Petrella and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops and empirically tests a simple market microstructure model to capture the main determinants of option bid-ask spread. The model is based on option market making costs (initial hedging, rebalancing, and order processing costs), and incorporates a reservation bid-ask spread that option market makers apply to protect themselves from scalpers. The model is tested on a sample of covered warrants, which are optionlike securities issued by banks, traded on the Italian Stock Exchange. The empirical analysis validates the model. The initial cost of setting up a delta neutral portfolio has been found to be an important determinant of option bid-ask spread, as well as rebalancing costs to keep the portfolio delta neutral. This result provides evidence of a further link between options and underlying assets: the spread of the option is positively related to the spread of its underlying asset. Empirical evidence also indicates that the reservation bid-ask spread, computed as the product of option delta and underlying asset tick, plays a very important role in explaining the bid-ask spread of options.

This book was released on 2006-04-04 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) are measures that indicate the current financial health and soundness of a country's financial institutions, and their corporate and household counterparts. FSIs include both aggregated individual institution data and indicators that are representative of the markets in which the financial institutions operate. FSIs are calculated and disseminated for the purpose of supporting macroprudential analysis--the assessment and surveillance of the strengths and vulnerabilities of financial systems--with a view to strengthening financial stability and limiting the likelihood of financial crises. Financial Soundness Indicators: Compilation Guide is intended to give guidance on the concepts, sources, and compilation and dissemination techniques underlying FSIs; to encourage the use and cross-country comparison of these data; and, thereby, to support national and international surveillance of financial systems.

Download or read book Alternative Market Structures for Derivatives written by Söhnke M. Bartram and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we compare option contracts from a traditional derivatives exchange to bank-issued options, also referred to as covered warrants, whose markets have grown rapidly around the world in recent years. While bank-issued option markets and traditional derivatives exchanges exhibit significant structural differences such as the absence of a central counterparty for bank-issued options, they frequently exist side-by-side, and the empirical evidence shows that there is significant overlap in their product offerings. The empirical analysis indicates that bid-ask spreads in either market are lowered by 1-2% due to competition from the other market, although options are not fungible between the two markets. We examine trading costs and liquidity for identical options in both markets and find that bank-issued options have smaller quoted percentage bid-ask spreads than traditional option contracts by an average of 4.3%. The co-existence of the two market structures can be explained by the fact that bank-issued option markets cater more towards retail investors with predominantly speculative motives while traditional derivatives exchanges cater more towards institutional investors with predominantly hedging motives. The idea of differing clienteles between the two market types is supported by various stylized facts and additional results such as smaller minimum trade sizes and average observed trade sizes in the bank-issued options market.

Download or read book An Introduction to High Frequency Finance written by Ramazan Gençay and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-05-29 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquid markets generate hundreds or thousands of ticks (the minimum change in price a security can have, either up or down) every business day. Data vendors such as Reuters transmit more than 275,000 prices per day for foreign exchange spot rates alone. Thus, high-frequency data can be a fundamental object of study, as traders make decisions by observing high-frequency or tick-by-tick data. Yet most studies published in financial literature deal with low frequency, regularly spaced data. For a variety of reasons, high-frequency data are becoming a way for understanding market microstructure. This book discusses the best mathematical models and tools for dealing with such vast amounts of data. This book provides a framework for the analysis, modeling, and inference of high frequency financial time series. With particular emphasis on foreign exchange markets, as well as currency, interest rate, and bond futures markets, this unified view of high frequency time series methods investigates the price formation process and concludes by reviewing techniques for constructing systematic trading models for financial assets.

Download or read book Measuring Liquidity in Financial Markets written by Abdourahmane Sarr and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides an overview of indicators that can be used to illustrate and analyze liquidity developments in financial markets. The measures include bid-ask spreads, turnover ratios, and price impact measures. They gauge different aspects of market liquidity, namely tightness (costs), immediacy, depth, breadth, and resiliency. These measures are applied in selected foreign exchange, money, and capital markets to illustrate their operational usefulness. A number of measures must be considered because there is no single theoretically correct and universally accepted measure to determine a market's degree of liquidity and because market-specific factors and peculiarities must be considered.

Download or read book The Microstructure of Foreign Exchange Markets written by Jeffrey A. Frankel and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foreign exchange market is the largest, fastest-growing financial market in the world. Yet conventional macroeconomic approaches do not explain why people trade foreign exchange. At the same time, they fail to explain the short-run determinants of the exchange rate. These nine innovative essays use a microstructure approach to analyze the workings of the foreign exchange market, with special emphasis on institutional aspects and the actual behavior of market participants. They examine the volume of transactions, heterogeneity of traders, the time of day and location of trading, the bid-ask spread, and the high level of exchange rate volatility that has puzzled many observers. They also consider the structure of the market, including such issues as nontransparency, asymmetric information, liquidity trading, the use of automated brokers, the relationship between spot and derivative markets, and the importance of systemic risk in the market. This timely volume will be essential reading for anyone interested in the economics of international finance.
