Previous studies on spillover effects in future markets have so far confined themselves to static analyses. In this study, we use a newly introduced spillover index to examine dynamic spillovers between spot and futures market volatility, volume of futures trading and open interest in the UK and the US. Based on a dataset over the period February 25, 2008 to March 14, 2013, that encompasses both the global financial crisis and the Eurozone debt crisis, we find that spot and futures volatilities in the UK (US) are net receivers (net transmitters) of shocks to volume of futures trading and open interest. The analysis also sheds light on the dynamic interdependence of spot and futures market volatilities between the US and the UK. Specifically, the spot and futures volatility spillovers between the UK and US markets are of bidirectional nature, however, they are affected by major economic events such as the global financial and Eurozone debt crisis. Several robustness checks endorse our main findings. Overall, these results have important implications for various market participants and financial sector regulators.

L’indice CAC40 est la première chose à laquelle on pense lorsqu’on parle de bourse en France. Cependant il n’est pas négociable. C’est pourquoi sont apparus des contrats dérivés comme le contrat future FCE dont le sous-jacent est le CAC40 qui peuvent être achetés et vendus. Leurs valeurs sont très proches mais non égales. Quel est donc la relation qui lie le contrat FCE au CAC40 ? A l’aide de données téléchargeables quotidiennement sur Internet et accessibles à tous une réponse va être apportée. Dans une première partie nous présentons le contrat à terme dérivé du CAC40, les raisons de le « trader » et le comparons aux autres contrats future dérivés d’indices boursiers dans le monde. Nous étudions ensuite la relation FCE/CAC40 en terme d’efficience informationnelle. Pour cela nous allons étudier différentes notions de base et tenter de les modéliser. Enfin dans une dernière partie nous nous intéressons à cette même relation d’un point de vue microstructure, en étudiant en particulier des variables non prix (volume et position ouverte), et la volatilité. Nous allons enfin tenter d’apporter une modélisation de la volatilité en fonction de ces variables. / The CAC 40 index is the first thing that comes to mind when talking about financial markets. However it is not negotiable. Therefore appeared derivative contracts such as futures contract FCE whose underlying is the CAC40 index which can be bought and sold. Their values are very close but not equal. So what is the relationship between the FCE contract and the CAC40? Using daily downloadable data on the Internet and accessible to everyone, answers will be given. In the first part we present the future contracts derived from the CAC40, the reasons to trade it, and we compare it to other stock index futures in the world. We then study the relationship FCE / CAC40 in terms of informational efficiency. For that we will study different notions of basis and try to model them. Finally in the last part we are interested in the same relationship but with a microstructure point of view, studying in particular non-price variables: volume and open interest, and volatility. Finally, we will try to modelise volatility with these variables.

Yes / This paper examines the existence of dynamic spillover effects across petroleum based commodities and among spot-futures volatilities, trading volume and open interest. Realized volatilities of spot-futures markets are used as inputs to estimate a VAR model following Diebold and Yilmaz (2014, 2015) and distinguish dynamic spillovers in total and net effects. Results reveal the existence of large and time-varying spillovers among the spot-futures volatilities and across petroleum-based commodities when examined pairwise. In addition, speculative pressures, as reflected by futures trading volume, and hedging pressures, as reflected by open interest, are shown to transmit large and persistent spillovers to the spot and futures volatilities of crude oil and heating oil-gasoline markets, respectively.

臺灣期貨市場中，三大法人的舉動及其持有部位的多寡往往是市場上投資人關注的對象，在未來市場走勢仍然混沌不明的情況下，投資人實在需要個利器來判別盤勢。本研究希望透過臺灣期貨交易所目前提供三大法人及大額交易人的交易資訊與未平倉資訊等籌碼面因素，來分析機構投資人及大額交易人之多、空買賣力道，希冀由此能預測臺股期貨指數漲跌趨勢。 本文發現：1.以期貨及選擇權的資料或單獨以期貨作為臺股期貨指數漲跌之訊號，均是自營商解釋能力較佳；2.單獨以選擇權為訊號，外資及自營商未平倉之契約金額皆有不錯之解釋能力；3.當外資選擇權未平倉部位契約金額淨額由正轉成連續負值時，臺指期貨就會出現一波空頭走勢；4.在時機的掌握上外資的選擇權操作比三大法人合計臺指期未平倉部位契約金額淨額更加精確；5.指數連續下跌的情況下，外資的選擇權部位便會持續的增加，直到指數開始反彈或回檔時，才會回補空單部位，反之亦然。

本文採用1998年九月2日到2003九月30日的台灣指數期貨每日收盤價，總共1304筆資料。我們希望能藉由濾嘴法則以收盤價及交易量和未平倉量來衡量台灣指數期貨的效率性。而實證結果也證實可以藉由濾嘴法則濾除掉市場上的小波動，並進而預測出主要的價格趨勢。 / This thesis adopts futures data, which are the daily closing prices of the Taiwan Stock Exchange Capitalization Weighted Stock Index futures contracts. The sample period is from September 2, 1998 to September 30, 2003, a total of 1304 transaction days. The goal we want to achieve is to test and verify the momentum by filter rules based on price and volume in the futures market in Taiwan. In addition, the open interest is substituted for the trading volume to exam its effect on the futures price. The empirical results show that we can predict the price trend as long as we employ an appropriate range value to filter out “the noise”.

Under de senaste 14 åren har den svenska kronan genomgått en period av depreciering mot många andra valutor. Detta väcker frågan om vad som ligger till grund för växelkursens rörelser. Denna studie ämnar därför undersöka om det öppna ränteparitetsvillkoret kan förklara relationen mellan förändringar i växelkurser och räntedifferenser på kort sikt. För att undersöka frågan har två regressionsmodeller konstruerats med räntedifferenser som förklarande variabel och fluktuationer i växelkursen som beroende variabel. Studien begränsas till att undersöka förhållandet mellan Sverige som inhemskt land och Euroområdet samt USA som utländska områden/länder. Eftersom euron och den amerikanska dollarn kategoriseras som “safe haven” valutor inkluderas safe haven teorin som en sekundär aspekt i analysen. Studien använder månadsvis data över perioden 1999-2022. Regressionsmodellernas resultat visar en korrelation som är något avvikande från det öppna ränteparitetsvillkoret. Regressionsmodellerna presenterar icke-signifikanta resultat och studiens slutsats är därmed att undersökningen inte presenterar tillräckligt med bevis för att säkerställa att den sanna relationen mellan räntedifferenser och förändringar i växelkursen skiljer sig signifikant från ränteparitetsvillkoret. / Over the past fourteen years the Swedish krona has undergone a period of depreciation against many other currencies. This raises the question of what factors drive the movements of the exchange rate. This study intends to examine if the open interest parity condition can explain the relationship between fluctuations in the exchange rate and the interest rate differentials in the short term. To examine the subject two regression models have been constructed with the interest rate differentials as the explanatory variable and fluctuations in the exchange rate as the dependent variable. The research is narrowed down to examine the relationship between Sweden as the domestic country and the euro area and USA as foreign areas/countries. As the euro and the american dollar are categorized as “safe haven” currencies the safe haven theory is also included as a secondary aspect of the analysis. The study utilizes monthly data over the period 1999-2022. The results of the regression models show a correlation that deviates somewhat from the open interest parity condition. The regression models present non-significant results and the study's conclusion is thus that the study does not present enough evidence to ensure that the true relationship between interest rate differentials and changes in the exchange rate differs significantly from the interest parity condition.
