Information and volatility futures and spot markets: the case of the Japanese yen
Article Abstract:
The effects of information from US macroeconomic announcements on the volatility of Japanese yen futures and spot markets was examined using data from intraday futures and spot rates of the yen in the period covering January 1992 to December 1995. Results gives credence to the opinion that volatility spillovers in futures and spot markets are influenced by information from the US. The results indicate that lower volatility in the spot market may not be prevented through the restriction of the futures market.
