In this study, we investigate the daily relationships between returns on individual stocks and their corresponding futures contracts in Australian, Hong Kong, and United Kingdom markets. We find that, at the beginning of the life of a futures market, autocorrelation of futures returns is similar to that of individual stock returns. As the market becomes mature, the autocorrelation of futures returns behaves differently from the autocorrelation of stock returns. Through the linkage between return autocorrelations and trading volume, we find that a larger trading volume depresses the return autocorrelation and shrinks the differences of return autocorrelation between stock and its futures. In addition, futures trading volume has more significant impact on the patterns of return autocorrelations than the stock trading volume. The effect is non-linear in the sense that it is much more prominent during high futures trading periods. Summary of these findings suggests that the difference of return autocorrelations between an individual stock and its futures contract is due to low trading activities of futures.

This study aims to obtain empirical evidence of the effect of Stock Price, Stock Return, Stock Trading Volume, and Return Variant on the Bid-Ask Spread of Stocks in Textile and Garment Companies Listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2019-2020. The stock price used is the stock price recorded at the end of each closing period (closing price), stock returns are measured using the difference between returns on the research day and before the study divided by returns on the day before the study, stock trading volume is measured by the number of shares traded at the time of the study. t is divided by the number of shares outstanding at the time of the study, the variance of stock returns is measured using the standard deviation, and the bid-ask spread is measured by the difference between the selling price and the purchase price divided by the difference between the selling price and the purchase price divided by two. The population in this study is 17 textile and garment companies listed on the IDX. Based on the purposive sampling method, a sample of 16 companies was obtained with 309 data. This research data is obtained from the company's monthly data from 2019 to 2020. The results of the analysis show that stock prices and stock trading volumes affect the bid-ask spread, while stock returns and return variances do not affect the bid-ask spread. Meanwhile, simultaneously, stock prices, stock returns, stock trading volume, and return variance affect the bid-ask spread. This research data is obtained from the company's monthly data from 2019 to 2020. The results of the analysis show that stock prices and stock trading volume affect the bid-ask spread, while stock returns and return variances do not affect the bid-ask spread. Meanwhile, simultaneously, stock prices, stock returns, stock trading volume, and return variance affect the bid-ask spread.

Abstract Theoretical models have long recognized the role of investor disagreements in the marketplace, but little evidence is documented regarding how belief dispersion affects trading activities in the broad equity market. Using over three decades of data from a survey of US households, we introduced a novel measure of household macroeconomic belief dispersion and document its positive relationship with market-wide stock trading volume, even after controlling for an array of professional analysts’ belief dispersion. Results are more pronounced for the belief dispersion among households who are more likely to own stocks. Furthermore, we show that the household belief dispersion is priced in the cross-section of stock returns, whereas that among professional analysts is not.

This paper examines the impacts of limit-to-arbitrage factors on the returns of the idiosyncratic volatility (IVOL) puzzle in Taiwan before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Although various studies explore the relationship between stock returns and IVOL, the empirical findings are mixed. We are motivated by unique market microstructures in Taiwan, such as individual investors’ aggressive trading volume and low transaction costs in Taiwan, discouraging arbitrary trading activities. Our empirical results indicate a negative relationship between IVOL and stock returns by using data from the Taiwan stock market. However, the IVOL anomaly does not exist during the Covid-19 pandemic, even in the small stocks sample. Besides, our findings suggest that four proxies of limits-to-arbitrage, such as reversal, transaction costs, turnover and Amihud’s Illiquidity, have statistically significant impacts on the return of IVOL anomaly in Taiwan except for the pandemic period. Finally, our finding suggests that the stock turnover is the only limit-to-arbitrage factor that helps investors earn arbitrary profits during the COVID-19 period.

This study examines the role of trading volume in the crude palm oil (CPO)futures market as a proxy for information áow from the perspective of the mixture-of-distributions hypothesis (MDH). Using the data from January 2000 to April 2017, a sym-metric GARCH model has been estimated, in which the residuals follow alternatively thenormal Student-t and generalised error distribution. An alternative augmented model thatconsists of trading volume as an exogenous variable is estimated with the same error dis-tributions. Our results suggest several conclusions: First, the trading volume could not actas a true proxy for information áow. This indicates that volume of futures trading containsrelatively less price-sensitive information. Secondly, the inclusion of trading volume into theconditional variance equation with Student-t distributed errors is important for modellingpurposes when the returns are leptokurtic and positively skewed. Hence, it can be concludedthat the use of return and trading volume will enhance the current information set usedby practitioners and analysts in pricing the CPO futures contract when there exists a highdegree of leptokurtosis in the returns. This is the Örst study that validates the MDH in thecontext of the CPO futures market

This research presented differences of stock price fraction system to stock trading indicator variables such as volume, value, and frequency of stock trading transactions on companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange. The purpose of this research was to measure and analyze the difference of stock price fraction system to stock trading indicator variables. Sample determination based on the sampling method was saturated, i.e., the technique of determining the sample by using all members of the population as a sample. The sample in this research used JCI data as it represents the 115 issuers listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the research period. This research used Mann-Whitney U Test to find out whether there were differences between two groups of data that were not related (independent) with the classification; group 1 was the volume data, the value and frequency of stock trading before the new price fraction that was applied 02 May 2016. While the second group data volume, value and frequency of stock trading after applying the new price fraction 02 May 2016. This research finds that the stock trading indicators reflected by the trading volume of stocks, the value of the stock, and the frequency of stock trading has a significant difference before and after the implementation of the new stock price fraction.

Why do some futures contracts succeed and others fail? Although the U.S. futures markets have evolved in a trial-and-error fashion, research suggests key elements have determined whether particular futures contracts succeeded or failed. This knowledge could be useful for new financial centers as they build successful futures markets. This paper shows that there are three elements that determine whether a futures contract succeeds or not: 1. There must be a commercial need for hedging; 2. A pool of speculators must be attracted to a market; and 3. Public policy should not be too adverse to futures trading

After going through initial public offering process, the company must trade its shares in the secondary market. Companies should conduct signaling to users, such as investors and potential investors by providing information that can be utilized as a basis for investment decision making. The information announced (which includes earnings information) is expected to have a quality that allows investors and potential investors to predict company performance in the future. This study was conducting  to investigate investors behaviour by observing trading volume, stock returns and earnings response coeffesient (ERC) in the short and long term. This study uses data and samples from the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2006 to 2015. Hypothesis testing is done by using multiple linear regression and independent sample t test. The result showed that earnings information give effect to trading volume, stock returns, and ERC  in short term (one year after IPO)  and  long term (for 5 years or more after IPO). The next result in the short term the stock trading volume, stock returns, and ERC is greater when compared with the volume of stock trading, stock returns, and ERC in the long term.

<p>Commodity Futures Trading in Indonesia is administered by the government under the auspices of the Commodity Futures Trading Supervisory Agency (BAPPEBTI) with the aim of establishing the price of primary commodities (price discovery) and as a hedging facility using futures contracts. However, current futures trading is only a means of speculation caused by its specifications and transaction mechanism.<br />The application of the three principles of dhikr: the principle of harmony, the principle of integrity, and the principle of one on the quest for hedging solutions in commodity futures will lead to trade where the parties who transact share the risk (risk sharing). Risk sharing can only occur if there is a common goal between buyers and sellers to manage risk (the principle of the one-an). The similarity of objectives will result in a commitment between buyers and sellers to perform physical handover backed by regulation to create a liquid market (the principle of harmony), so that the wholeness of trade mechanisms involving market participants, markets, and regulators will be maintained. The integrity of the role of the stakeholders of commodity trading is what will lead to the solution of the hedge without having to separate the risk with its trading activities (principle of wholeness).<br />The "dhikr" hedging is a hedge accompanied by the certainty of ownership transfer through physical delivery of physical commodities. Thus, the hedge is not separate from its real trading activity, because the risk is always attached to the profit-making business activity.</p>
