    Abstract: This paper investigates the price volatility interaction between the crude oil and equity markets in the US using five-minute data over the period 2009 to 2012. Our main findings can be summarised as follows. First, we find strong evidence to demonstrate that the integration of the bid-ask spread and trading volume factors leads to a better performance in predicting price volatility. Second, trading information, such as bid-ask spread, trading volume, and the price volatility from cross-markets, improves the price volatility predictability for both in-sample and out-of-sample analyses. Third, the trading strategy based on the predictive regression model that includes trading information from both markets provides significant utility gains to mean-variance investors.
    Keywords: volatility; trading volume; bid-ask spread; cross-market; predictability; forecasting.

    Abstract: Wrong-way risk arises when an unexpected adverse change in interdependency among financial products or financial variables (such as interest rates, equities, exchange rates, credits, and commodities) triggers huge losses in portfolios. During the global financial crisis of 2007-09, financial institutions suffered huge losses due to the materialization of wrong-way risk. While its importance has been recognized by market participants, however, they have not reached a consensus on how to model and measure it. This paper proposes a method to model wrong-way risk in pricing and risk management and investigate the mechanism in which it can generate booms and busts in security prices. This paper assumes that there exist two types of investors with differing views on the management of the wrong-way risk and that they trade a derivative security with two underlying assets. The prudent (imprudent) investors are supposed to have a heavy (thin) tail structure in the joint distributions of risky assets in their models. This assumption implies that the reservation value on the security held by imprudent investors is higher than that by prudent investors. In this setup, a numerical analysis shows that (1) as time passes from the latest materialization of wrong-way risk and many investors tend to be imprudent, the market price is bidden up; and (2) once the wrong-way risk materializes, many imprudent investors realize the necessity for prudent management of wrong- way risk and thus the price drops suddenly to the lowest level.
