Price Formation and Liquidity in the U.S. Treasury Market: The Response to Public Information

Abstract: The arrival of public information in the U.S. Treasury market sets off a two-stage adjustment process for prices, trading volume, and bid-ask spreads.

“…The L shaped pattern was mainly supported by the studies of Fleming and Remolona (1999) for the USA market, Gary Tian andMingyuan Guo (2007) andFei Ren et al (2008) for the Chinese market, Jeffrey Williams and James Eaves (2007) for the Japanese market and Roberto Pascual and David Veredas (2009) for Spanish market. Similar findings were provided by Harju and Hussain (2006) who asserted that the European Indices FTSE 100, XDAX30, SMI and CAC40 followed a reverse J pattern which differed slightly to an L pattern.…”
