Abstract

We test the existence and reveal the main properties of commonality in liquidity for the foreign exchange (FX) markets at the high-frequency level. Accordingly, commonality in FX liquidity exists even at the high-frequency level and it has been gradually increasing over the last few years. Unlike ECB, monetary policy announcement made by Fed significantly increases this commonality. Moreover, commonality in FX liquidity has a significant positive impact on the commonality in FX return series, indicating that an increase in the intraday systematic liquidity risk might trigger a negative aggregate liquidity-return spiral in the FX markets.
