Crash-Neutral Currency Carry Trades
Currency carry trades exploiting violations of uncovered interest rate parity in G10 currencies deliver significant excess returns with annualized Sharpe equal to or greater than those of equity market factors (19902012). Using data on out-of-the-money foreign exchange options, I compute returns to crash-hedged portfolios and demonstrate that the high returns to carry trades are not due to peso...
متن کامل5 Carry Trades and Currency Crashes
This paper studies crash risk of currencies for funding‐constrained speculators in an attempt to shed new light on the major currency puzzles. Our starting point is the currency carry trade, which consists of selling low interest rate currencies—“funding currencies”—and investing in high interest rate currencies—“investment currencies.” While the uncovered interest rate parity (UIP) hypothesize...
متن کاملCarry Trades, Momentum Trading and the Forward Premium Anomaly
This paper examines the role of carry trade and momentum trading strategies and their implications for the magnitude of the forward premium anomaly. The formal analysis uses a logistic smooth transition regression, with transition variables related to the di¤erent currency trading strategies. The hypothesis of uncovered interest parity is found to hold in an upper regime where carry trades appe...
متن کاملCarry Trade and Liquidity Risk: Evidence from Forward and Cross-Currency Swap Markets*
This study empirically examines the effect of foreign exchange (FX) market liquidity risk and volatility on the excess returns of currency carry trades. In contrast to the existent literature, we construct an alternative proxy of liquidity risk violations of no arbitrage bounds in the forward and currency swap markets. We also use volatility smile data to capture FX-market specific volatility. ...
متن کاملRisk-Premia, Carry-Trade Dynamics, and Speculative Efficiency of Currency Markets
Foreign exchange market efficiency is commonly investigated by Fama-regression tests of uncovered interest parity (UIP). In this paper, we conjecture a speculative UIP relationship which implies that exchange rate changes comprise a time-varying risk component in addition to the forward premium. This suggests that the forward premium anomaly reported in previous research potentially stems from ...
