Abstract

Stock index futures prices for the world's major equity markets, Japan, the UK and the US, are used to examine the interaction of international equity markets. By using stock index futures prices, we avoid the nonsynchronous data problem inherent with opening and closing market averages. We find that the US is the dominant world market; overnight returns in Japan and the UK are greatly influenced by the US daily returns. In contrast, the Japanese market has no impact on the overnight or daily returns in the UK, while the UK daily performance has a small influence on Japanese overnight returns. Slight evidence of over‐reaction at the opening of Japanese futures exists as the daily Nikkei returns are negatively related to the US returns.
