β¦ Synopsis
The detailed descriptions of intraday volatility and other variables may also contribute to the continuing public discussion on stock index futures.
PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED PATTERNS
The U-shaped intraday pattern in stock returns and returns variance are first documented by Wood, Mclnish, and Ord(1985) (WMO) and Harris (1986). Average index returns are positive near the open and near the close. Harris, however, shows that returns are, on average, negative near the Monday open. Because of the targe amount of data needed for intraday studies, the sample periods are relatively short.
