Abstract
We investigate the dynamics of return and liquidity (co) jumps for three of the most traded emerging market currencies vis-à-vis US dollar. Accordingly, an increase in the average bid-ask spread (realized volatility) significantly reduces the duration between consecutive return (liquidity) jumps, while liquidity and volatility only play a partial role on the duration between consecutive return-liquidity cojumps. There is also evidence of vicious return-liquidity spirals in views of the positive contemporaneous impact of liquidity jumps on volatility and return jumps on the bid-ask spread. Finally, scheduled macroeconomic news and central bank announcements increase the likelihood of both return and liquidity (co) jumps.
