COVID-19 pandemic effect on trading and returns: Evidence from the Chinese stock market.

ABSTRACT: Using a daily foreign and institution flows data, this paper studies how institutional and foreign investors respond to the COVID-19 pandemic events in China. The results indicate that during the COVID-19 crisis foreign investors play a market stabilization role showing significant negative feedback trading, whereas institution investors do not stabilize the market. And compared to the pre-COVID-19 period, foreign investors even exhibit stronger negative feedback trading. Further analyses confirm that foreign investors' negative feedback is mainly driven by their response to negative returns. Moreover, both institutional and foreign investors' trading show stronger forecastability of future returns during the pandemic period. And the negative returns after foreigners' selling and positive returns after institutional buying are much stronger during the crisis period.

Local versus global factors weighing on stock market returns during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Project description:We use stock market returns and a new, weekly available, GDP tracker to estimate a structural VAR identified with long-run restrictions. We find that global 'news' contribute more than local 'news' shocks to explaining the recent variance of equity returns from developing and small developed countries. Since data do not (yet) point to an increase in financial integration during the current pandemic, our investigations support the alternative that these markets hold too optimistic views on their prospects and future ties with the global economy.

Does non-fundamental news related to COVID-19 matter for stock returns? Evidence from Shanghai stock market.

Project description:The COVID-19 outbreak generates various types of news that affect economic and financial systems. No studies have assessed the effects of such news on financial markets. This study sheds light on the impact of non-fundamental news related to the COVID-19 pandemic on the liquidity and returns volatility. Because we examined extreme events, we performed quantile regression on daily data from December 31, 2019 to the end of lockdown restrictions in China on April 7, 2020. Results showed that the non-fundamental news, as the number of deaths and cases related to the COVID-19, raised the stock market returns volatility and reduced the level of stock market liquidity, increasing overall risk, whereas fundamental macroeconomic news remained largely immaterial for the stock market. These findings are explained by a knock-on effect because the health system's inability to manage and treat a high number of COVID-19 patients in intensive care led the country to implement a lockdown and the global economy to largely shut down.

COVID-19 pandemic and stock market response: A culture effect.

Project description:National culture has been shown to impact the way investors, firm managers, and other financial market participants respond to crisis. To date, however, none has looked at the impact of culture on market responses to disasters. This paper is the first to address the effect of national culture on stock market responses to a global health disaster. We find larger declines and greater volatilities for stock markets in countries with lower individualism and higher uncertainty avoidance during the first three weeks after a country's first COVID-19 case announcement. Our results are robust after controlling for investor fear, cumulative infected cases, the stringency of government response policies, the level of democracy, political corruption, and the 2003 SARS experience, among others.

Trading Imbalance in Chinese Stock Market-A High-Frequency View.

Project description:Although an imbalance of buying and selling profoundly affects the formation of market trends, a fine-granularity investigation of this perplexity of trading behavior is still missing. Instead of using existing entropy measures, this paper proposed a new indicator based on transaction dataset that enables us to inspect both the direction and the magnitude of this imbalance at high frequency, which we call "polarity". The polarity aims to measure the unevenness of the very essence trading desire based on the most micro decision making units. We investigate the relationship between the polarity and the return at both market-level and stock-level and find that the autocorrelated polarities cause a positive relation between lagged polarities and returns, while the current polarity is the opposite. It is also revealed that these associations shift according to the market conditions. In fact, when aggregating the one-minute polarities into daily signals, we find not only significant correlations disclosed by the market polarity and market emotion, but also the reliability of these signals in terms of reflecting the transitions of market-level behavior. These results imply that our presented polarity can reflect the market sentiment and condition in real time. Indeed, the trading polarity provides a new indicator from a high-frequency perspective to understand and foresee the market's behavior in a data-driven manner.

Asymmetric dependence between stock market returns and news during COVID-19 financial turmoil.

Project description:•I investigate the stock market's reaction to coronavirus news in the top six most affected countries by the pandemic.•The fake news exerts a negative nonlinear influence on the inferior and the middle quantiles throughout the distribution of returns.•The media coverage leads to a decrease in returns across middle and superior quantiles and has no effects on the inferior ones.•During COVID19 turmoil superior quantiles of returns distribution exhibit negative dependence on past performances, while inferior and middle quantiles are not affected by this phenomenon.•The gold return has a positive correlation with the stock markets, which amplifies during extreme bearish and bullish periods indicating that it does not behave as a "Safe Havens" asset.

Stock market response to COVID-19 pandemic: A comparative evidence from two emerging markets.

Project description:This paper presents the first comparative study of emerging stock markets' response to the COVID-19 pandemic with evidence from Ghana and Botswana. Using daily time-series data from March 1, 2020, to September 30, 2021, the study estimates parametric, semi-parametric and non-parametric models, and provides evidence to support the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., the total number of reported COVID-19 cases and deaths) on the stock market performances of Ghana and Botswana. Interestingly, the study shows that the impact of the pandemic on Ghana's stock market is quantitatively greater than the stock market of Botswana. The study calls for fiscal and monetary policies to help firms on the stock market to survive the shock. Going forward, measures aimed at building a robust stock market to withstand such external shocks are critical.

Sign realized jump risk and the cross-section of stock returns: Evidence from China's stock market.

Project description:Using 5-minute high frequency data from the Chinese stock market, we employ a non-parametric method to estimate Fama-French portfolio realized jumps and investigate whether the estimated positive, negative and sign realized jumps could forecast or explain the cross-sectional stock returns. The Fama-MacBeth regression results show that not only have the realized jump components and the continuous volatility been compensated with risk premium, but also that the negative jump risk, the positive jump risk and the sign jump risk, to some extent, could explain the return of the stock portfolios. Therefore, we should pay high attention to the downside tail risk and the upside tail risk.

Market framing bias and cross-sectional stock returns

Project description:This paper introduces the market framing bias (MFB): a framing effect that affects the return-risk tradeoff under different frameworks of aggregate market losses and profits, which is measured by the absolute difference between betas in the rising and falling markets. The paper finds that the MFB can predict lower future stock return on the cross-section. Specifically, after controlling for various firm-specific characteristics, this predictive power of the FMB declines over time. Furthermore, the predictive power of the FMB is stable in the short term even after controlling for various pricing factors and firm-specific characteristics.

Project description:We investigate a novel dataset of more than half a million 15 second transcribed audio snippets containing COVID-19 mentions from major US TV stations throughout 2020. Using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), an unsupervised machine learning algorithm, we identify seven COVID-19 related topics discussed in US TV news. We find that several topics identified by the LDA predict significant and economically meaningful market reactions in the next day, even after controlling for the general TV tone derived from a field-specific COVID-19 tone dictionary. Our results suggest that COVID-19 related TV content had nonnegligible effects on financial markets during the pandemic.
