In this paper, we investigate the long run dynamics of the intraday range of the GBP/USD, JPY/USD and CHF/USD exchange rates. We use a non-parametric filter to extract the low frequency component of the intraday range, and model the cyclical deviation of the range from the long run trend as a...

We investigate the predictability of the G10 currencies with respect to lagged currency returns from the perspective of a U.S. investor, using the maximally predictable portfolio (MPP) approach of Lo and MacKinlay (1997). Out-of-sample, the MPP yields a higher Sharpe ratio, higher cumulative...

We investigate the dynamics of the relationship between returns and extreme downside risk in different states of the market by combining the framework of Bali, Demirtas, and Levy (2009) with a Markov switching mechanism. We show that the risk-return relationship identified by Bali, Demirtas, and...
