The Overnight Drift
研究发现美国股票在欧洲市场开盘时段有显著的正回报,这种“隔夜漂移”与前一交易日收盘时的订单失衡密切相关,且市场抛售后的反转比上涨后更强烈。
Abstract This paper documents that U.S. equity returns are large and positive during the opening hours of European markets. These returns are pervasive and highly economically and statistically significant. Consistent with models of inventory risk, we demonstrate a strong relationship with order imbalances at the close of the preceding U.S. trading day. Rationalizing unconditionally positive “overnight drift” returns, we uncover an asymmetric reaction to demand shocks: market sell-offs generate robust positive overnight reversals, while reversals following market rallies are much more modest. We argue that demand shock asymmetry can arise in inventory management models with time-varying market maker risk-bearing capacity.
