Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is an empirical analysis of the intraday market liquidity and volume concentration on the Swiss Stock Exchange. The intraday market liquidity on the Swiss market exhibits a triple-U shaped pattern. An intraday pattern of volume concentration also exists. The empirical evidence shows that the US market influences the Swiss trading day to a remarkable extent. The results also suggest the dynamics of an order-driven market. Disequilibrium between demand and supply conditions are associated with an increase in trading volume and a thinner limit order book. In this market condition, trades engender a wider spread and price volatility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I analyze the transaction costs on the Swiss Stock Exchange (SWX). Trading costs on the SWX are in line with the NYSE. The bid-ask spread components are examined in relation with market liquidity, trade size and the time of the day. The order processing costs are the largest cost component but the adverse selection and order persistence components are also significant. Adverse selection and processing costs affect to a wider extent less liquid stocks and characterize the afternoon trading. Also, the adverse selection (order processing) component increases (decreases) with trade size.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We want to know whether and in what sense traders on the Swiss Stock Exchange (SWX) are influenced by what happens on Wall Street. According to the results, the SWX reacts strongly when U.S. macroeconomic news relevant to Wall Street is disclosed. Moreover, SWX traders seem to wait with anticipation for the Wall Street opening. And they appear to overreact to what happens on Wall Street, although this overreaction is too weak to imply a profitable trading strategy.

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 Role of Liquidity in Value at Risk The Case of Hong Kong written by Cass Cheng Po Lei and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper extends the conventional Value at Risk (VaR) to incorporate liquidity in intraday time horizon. Our rationale is that the Liquidity Adjusted Intraday VaR (L-VaR) is particularly relevant to day traders who are more interested in intraday market movement that could not be simply represented by a single VaR figure generated from interday data, and whose activities are done in volatile markets where being able to trade promptly is particularly important. Using intraday stock market data in Hong Kong, we show that liquidity can constitute on average 30% of the VaR for small-price stocks. Furthermore, it will be relatively less risky, both in terms of L-VaR and VaR, for day traders to trade in the middle of the trading days. Furthermore, given the importance of derivative securities nowadays, we conjecture that if liquidity is an important component in VaR for stocks, it will also assert significant impact of the derivatives counterpart. We therefore extend the study to highlight this importance by comparing the structure of the bid/ask spread of the Hong Kong options and stock market. We also provide explanation for wider spreads in option markets given different levels of moneyness and time to maturity.

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

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We provide a synthesis of the empirical evidence on market liquidity. The liquidity measurement literature has established standard measures of liquidity that apply to broad categories of market microstructure data. Specialized measures of liquidity have been developed to deal with data limitations in specific markets, to provide proxies from daily data, and to assess institutional trading programs. The general liquidity literature has established local cross-sectional patterns, global cross-sectional patterns, and time-series patterns.
