- Abstract
- This paper analyses the effect of macroeconomic news on the price of the ten year Treasure bond future. We consider 15 fundamentals and we analyse the effect of their forecasting errors conditional upon their sign and the momentum of the business cycle. To obtain a smooth effect of the news arrival we estimate a Polynomial Distributed Lag model. Using 10 minutes sampled data for 9 years, we conclude that 1) releases affect the bond future for only few hours, 2) their effect depends on the sign of the forecast error, 3) their effect also depends on the business cycle and 4) the timeliness of the releases is significant.
