Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the dynamic turbulent world of financial markets, particularly in crisis situations, understanding and predicting volatility is crucial for investors, risk managers, and policymakers. This Special Issue, entitled “Volatility Modeling in Financial Markets”, aims to explore the latest advancements and methodologies in this vital field.

This Special Issue invites original research and comprehensive studies that delve into new models and approaches for forecasting market volatility, assessing risks, and understanding the implications of volatility in various financial instruments as well as markets. We encourage submissions that focus on, but are not limited to, dynamic models, financial econometrics, and the impact of macroeconomic factors on market volatility.

Contributions may also include empirical studies on the effectiveness of volatility models in real-world scenarios, advancements in computational techniques for volatility forecasting, and insights into how market volatility affects financial decision making and risk management strategies. This Special Issue seeks to provide a platform for researchers to share their insights and findings, fostering a deeper understanding of financial market dynamics in this turbulent time.

This paper investigates how the introduction of foreign exchange futures has an impact on spot volatility and considers the contemporaneous and dynamic relationship between spot volatility and foreign exchange futures trading activity, including trading volume and open interest in the Thailand Futures Exchange context, with the examples of the EUR/USD futures and USD/JPY futures. The results of the EGARCH (1,1) model show that the introduction of foreign exchange futures decreases spot volatility. It also increases the rate at which new information is impounded into spot prices but decreases the persistency of volatility shocks. A positive effect of unexpected trading volume and a negative effect of unexpected open interest on contemporaneous spot volatility are in line with the VAR(1) model results of the dynamic relationship between spot volatility and foreign exchange futures trading activity. With the impact on spot volatility caused by unexpected open interest rate being stronger than by unexpected trading volume, foreign exchange futures trading stabilizes spot volatility. Full article
