Abstract

With the growth of information technology, market participants in futures markets can access new information and respond to it at a faster pace. We study the effect of the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) reports, in real time, on the price discovery of five agricultural commodities. Using the information along the steps of the LOB, we develop a trading scheme to quantify the economic value of the information contained in the USDA reports. Informed traders become more aggressive in their trading strategies when the USDA reports are released during the trading sessions, whereas no impact is observed when reports are released outside the trading sessions. We also find that by incorporating the information embedded in the steps of the LOB when unwinding a large order, additional profits can be obtained on USDA report days. We attribute the additional profits to the information in the USDA reports.
