Interday variations in volume, variance and participation of large speculators

Article Abstract:

A study of big speculators' interday trading patterns in five futures contract markets' most active months found the traditional inverted U-shaped and U-shaped patterns across weekdays for the market's aggregate volume and volatility. The futures markets examined were soybeans, gold the Standard and Poor's 500 stock index, corn and Treasury Bonds. The separation of big spectator volume from volume associated with other traders also strengthens the association between volatility and volume. Big spectator volume was also found to be greater every Mondays compared to other weekdays in the five futures markets studied.
