Price volatility, trading volume, and market depth: evidence from futures markets

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the relationships among futures market variables is presented. Trading volume, price volatility and market depth in eight markets are examined. It is shown that volatility links to volume do not exhibit total information access. Unexpected volume shocks generate greater influence over volatility. In addition, the mitigation of large open interest with volatility validate market depth theories.
