Abstract

We find a negative relationship between overnight and daytime returns on the Korean equity market. Overnight returns are positively (negatively) and nonlinearly associated with subsequent daytime returns when the overnight news is relatively good (bad). Trades by individual investors respond negatively to overnight returns, whereas those by domestic and foreign institutional investors exhibit positive-feedback trading behavior. Our findings challenge the conventional presumption about investors’ responses to overnight returns.
