SOME USEFUL FACTS OF
US MACRO NEWS IMPACT ON PRICES
1) Prices respond to unanticipated US news in the initial 5-mins:
– for eg. Non-Farm Payrolls, PPI, GDP, etc appear significant.
2) News impact on volatility gradually disappears after the first 5-mins:
– with less effects after 15-mins;
– totally disappears within 2 hours.
3) Price responses to news are symmetrical in the initial 5-mins:
– positive and negative surprises brings about some effect;
– effects at least in the first 5-mins.
4) Evidence suggests an over-reaction effect:
– more during bad times in contrast to good times.
