TY - UNPD A1 - Hautsch, Nikolaus A1 - Hess, Dieter A1 - Veredas, David T1 - The impact of macroeconomic news on quote adjustments, noise, and informational volatility T2 - Center for Financial Studies (Frankfurt am Main): CFS working paper series ; No. 2010,01 N2 - We study the impact of the arrival of macroeconomic news on the informational and noise-driven components in high-frequency quote processes and their conditional variances. Bid and ask returns are decomposed into a common ("efficient return") factor and two market-side-specific components capturing market microstructure effects. The corresponding variance components reflect information-driven and noise-induced volatilities. We find that all volatility components reveal distinct dynamics and are positively influenced by news. The proportion of noise-induced variances is highest before announcements and significantly declines thereafter. Moreover, news-affected responses in all volatility components are influenced by order flow imbalances.
