Unexpected volatility and intraday serial correlation
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the impact of volatility on intraday serial correlation, at time scales of less than 20 minutes, exploiting a data set with all transaction on SPX500 futures from 1993 to 2001. We show that, while realized volatility and intraday serial correlation are linked, this relation is driven by unexpected volatility only, that is by the fraction of volatility which cannot be forecasted. The impact of predictable volatility is instead found to be negative (LeBaron effect). Our results are robust to microstructure noise, and they confirm the leading economic theories

Dynamics of intraday serial correlation in the Italian futures market ∗
We study the serial correlation of high-frequency intraday returns on the Italian stock index futures (FIB30) in the period 2000-2002. We find that intraday autocorrelation is mostly negative for time scales lower than 20 minutes, mainly due to the bid-ask bounce effect. While this supports the efficiency of the Italian futures market, we also provide evidence that intraday serial correlation b...

This paper examines trading imbalance as well as traditional trading variables in the volume-volatility relation in futures market. Unlike the majority of studies which utilize daily data, our empirical investigation compares an array of intraday frequencies (from five minutes to one hour) with daily interval. The primary analysis is conducted through a series of GARCH tests and the findings ar...
متن کاملForecasting daily exchange rate volatility using intraday returns
This study investigates whether intraday returns contain important information for forecasting daily volatility. Whereas in the existing literature volatility models for daily returns are improved by including intraday information such as the daily high and low, volume, the number of trades, and intraday returns, here the volatility of intraday returns is explicitly modelled. Daily volatility f...
متن کاملIntraday periodicity and volatility persistence in financial markets
The pervasive intraday periodicity in the return volatility in foreign exchange and equity markets is shown to have a strong impact on the dynamic properties of high frequency returns. Only by taking account of this strong intraday periodicity is it possible to uncover the complex intraday volatility dynamics that exists both within and across different financial markets. The explicit periodic ...
متن کاملEstimating the Leverage Parameter of Continuous-time Stochastic Volatility Models Using High Frequency S&P 500 and VIX*
* The authors are most grateful to two referees for helpful comments and suggestions. Abstract This paper proposes a new method for estimating continuous-time stochastic volatility (SV) models for the S&P 500 stock index process using intraday high-frequency observations of both the S&P 500 index and the Chicago Board of Exchange (CBOE) implied (or expected) volatility index (VIX). Intraday hig...
