In this article, I investigate the impacts of futures and options markets on the volatility of the underlying market with a focus on their persistence over time. Empirical study yields several interesting results that often contrast with previous findings. it suggests that the impacts on the spot market volatility depends on the quality of new information generated by derivatives trading. Futures market reduces spot market volatility by providing new, material information, but options market generates noisy information which results in increase in volatility and decrease in its sensitivity to price change. While the impact by futures persists, that of options mostly disappears as the market matures. This is perhaps because futures market is mainly driven by informed, experienced participants, while options market attracts new, inexperienced investors. It would be worth revisiting other markets with the methods in this study and testing validity of the conclusions made in previous studies.

The paper is aimed at examining the impact of introduction of currency derivatives on exchange rate volatility of Euro. The data used in this paper comprises of daily exchange rate of Euro in terms of Indian rupees for the sample period April 2006 to December 2014. To explore the time series properties Unit Root Test have been employed and to study the impact on underlying volatility GARCH (1, 1) model has been employed. The results indicate that the introduction of currency futures trading has helped in reducing the exchange rate volatility of the foreign exchange market in India. Further, the results are also indicative of the fact that the importance of recent news on spot market volatility has increased and the persistence effect of old news has declined with the introduction of currency futures trading.

An Introduction to Wavelets and Other Filtering Methods in Finance and Economics presents a unified view of filtering techniques with a special focus on wavelet analysis in finance and economics. It emphasizes the methods and explanations of the theory that underlies them. It also concentrates on exactly what wavelet analysis (and filtering methods in general) can reveal about a time series. It offers testing issues which can be performed with wavelets in conjunction with the multi-resolution analysis. The descriptive focus of the book avoids proofs and provides easy access to a wide spectrum of parametric and nonparametric filtering methods. Examples and empirical applications will show readers the capabilities, advantages, and disadvantages of each method. - The first book to present a unified view of filtering techniques - Concentrates on exactly what wavelets analysis and filtering methods in general can reveal about a time series - Provides easy access to a wide spectrum of parametric and non-parametric filtering methods

This paper studies the relative effectiveness of foreign exchange intervention in spot and derivatives markets. We make use of Brazilian data where spot and non-deliverable futures based intervention have been used in tandem for more than a decade. The analysis finds evidence in favor of a significant link between both modes of intervention and the first two moments of the real/dollar exchange rate. As predicted by theory for the case of negligible convertibility risk, the impact of spot market intervention in our baseline sample is strikingly similar to that achieved through futures based intervention worth an equivalent amount in notional principal.

Commodities have become an important component of many investors' portfolios and the focus of much political controversy over the past decade. This book utilizes structural models to provide a better understanding of how commodities' prices behave and what drives them. It exploits differences across commodities and examines a variety of predictions of the models to identify where they work and where they fail. The findings of the analysis are useful to scholars, traders and policy makers who want to better understand often puzzling - and extreme - movements in the prices of commodities from aluminium to oil to soybeans to zinc.

"This introductory textbook on derivatives and risk management is highly accessible in terms of the concepts as well as the mathematics. With its economics perspective, this rewritten and streamlined second edition textbook, is closely connected to real markets, and: shows how macroeconomic forces have shaped the markets; explains the major derivative pricing models using algebra and introductory calculus; shows students how to implement these models using basic statistics and elementary; Excel spreadsheet skills; discusses the uses of derivatives while warning against their abuses; presents hard-to-teach interest rate derivatives in an intuitive manner; presents the Heath-Jarrow-Morton model, which is the most advanced derivatives pricing model, in an accessible manner by presenting it side-by-side with classical option pricing theory. Beginning at a level that is comfortable to lower division college students, the book gradually develops the content so that its lessons can be profitably used by business majors, arts, science, and engineering graduates as well as MBAs who would work in the finance industry."--Provided by publisher.

Over the last 20 years hedge funds and derivatives have fluctuated in reputational terms; they have been blamed for the global financial crisis and been praised for the provision of liquidity in troubled times. Both topics are rather under-researched due to a combination of data and secrecy issues. This book is a collection of papers celebrating 20 years of the Journal of Derivatives and Hedge Funds (JDHF). The 18 papers included in this volume represent a small sample of influential papers included during the life of the Journal, representing industry-orientated research in these areas. With a Preface from co-editor of the journal Stephen Satchell, the first part of the collection focuses on hedge funds and the second on markets, prices and products.

How much does speculation contribute to oil price volatility? We revisit this contentious question by estimating a sign-restricted structural vector autoregression (SVAR). First, using a simple storage model, we show that revisions to expectations regarding oil market fundamentals and the effect of mispricing in oil derivative markets can be observationally equivalent in a SVAR model of the world oil market à la Kilian and Murphy (2013), since both imply a positive co-movement of oil prices and inventories. Second, we impose additional restrictions on the set of admissible models embodying the assumption that the impact from noise trading shocks in oil derivative markets is temporary. Our additional restrictions effectively put a bound on the contribution of speculation to short-term oil price volatility (lying between 3 and 22 percent). This estimated short-run impact is smaller than that of flow demand shocks but possibly larger than that of flow supply shocks.
