Book Synopsis The Information Content of the Euro-bund Futures Options Markets by : Shengxiong Wu
Download or read book The Information Content of the Euro-bund Futures Options Markets written by Shengxiong Wu. This book was released on 2012. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most recent empirical literature focuses on the information content of option volume for future security price movements. Few of these studies explore the possibility that there is information content in the option order book about the underlying security's future price movements. This dissertation explores this possibility. We first find that the book imbalance defined as scaled difference between asked size and bid size at the best limit price levels in the Euro-Bund futures option order book is significantly related to short-term its futures returns only for at-the-money (ATM) options. However, book imbalances beyond the best price levels are not informative to the Euro-Bund futures price movements. We further document that, when trading cost, measured by the bid-ask spread, is relatively high (more than 3 ticks), there is no price discovery from the Euro-Bund futures ATM option market to the Euro-Bund futures market. However, when the trading cost is relatively low (less than 2 ticks), information in the Euro-Bund futures ATM option market is associated with its futures returns. Finally, we show that Euro-Bund futures ATM put options are more informative than its ATM call for the underlying futures price formation in periods with more negative news surprises regarding interest rate risks. The dominance of Euro-Bund futures ATM put options is mainly due to market environments. This is consistent with the notion that traders seek protection against downside of interest rate risk by buying puts rather than selling calls in periods with more negative news surprises regarding interest rate risks.

Book Synopsis Testing Interest Rate Models by : Mukarram Attari
Download or read book Testing Interest Rate Models written by Mukarram Attari. This book was released on 2000. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bond and option prices contain information on the future distribution of the state variables related to interest rates at multiple horizons based on the maturity/expiration of the assets. This study uses the information contained in Eurodollar futures and futures options prices to make inferences regarding different specifications used to describe the evolution of the short-rate. A modification, to the commonly used short-rate specifications, that generates a humped term structure of volatility (upward sloping at short horizons) is found to significantly improve the ability of the specifications to generate option prices that match market options price.
