The decline in asset return predictability and macroeconomic volatility
Hsu, Alex; Palomino, Francisco; Qian, Charles - 2017
We document strong U.S. stock and bond return predictability from several macroeconomic volatility series before 1982 … policy and shocks with time-varying volatility. The decline is consistent with changes in both policy and shock dynamics …. While an increase in the response to inflation in the interest-rate policy rule decreases volatility, more persistent and …

Shape evolution of the interest rate term structure
Chen, Biwei - In: Review of Economic Analysis : REA 13 (2021) 4, pp. 427-457
This paper adopts a novel approach to studying the evolution of interest rate term structure over the U.S. business cycles and to predicting recessions. Applying an effective algorithm, I classify the Treasury yield curve into distinct shapes and find the less frequent shapes intrinsically...

Stock Return Skewness and the Cross Section of Monetary Policy Announcement Premiums
Chue, Timothy K.; Li, Gang; Chen, Sipeng - 2023
We find that the FOMC-announcement-day return premium earned by a firm is positively related to the increase in its ex ante, option-implied skewness prior to the announcement. This finding is consistent with: (1) the existence of an announcement-day Fed put that is partially anticipated by the...

Monetary policy and the stock market : time-series evidence
Neuhierl, Andreas; Weber, Michael - 2016
We construct a slope factor from changes in federal funds futures of different horizons. Slope predicts stock returns at the weekly frequency: faster monetary policy easing positively predicts excess returns. Investors can achieve increases in weekly Sharpe ratios of 20% conditioning on the...

The time-varying relation between stock returns and monetary variables
McMillan, David G. - In: Journal of risk and financial management : JRFM 15 (2022) 1, pp. 1-17
The nature of the relation between stock returns and the three monetary variables of interest rates (bond yields), inflation and money supply growth, while oft studied, is one that remains unclear. We argue that the nature of the relation changes over time, and this variation is largely driven...

Fundamental disagreement about monetary policy and the term structure of interest rates
Cao, Shuo; Crump, Richard K.; Eusepi, Stefano; Mönch, … - 2021 - Revised August 2021
Using a unique data set of individual professional forecasts, we document disagreement about the future path of monetary policy, particularly at longer horizons. The stark differences in short rate forecasts imply strong disagreement about the risk-return trade-off of longer-term bonds....

Mind the (convergence) gap: bond predictability strikes back!
Berardi, Andrea; Markovich, Michael; Plazzi, Alberto; … - 2019 - This version: August 29, 2019
We show that the difference between the natural rate of interest and the current level of monetary policy stance, which we label Convergence Gap (CG), contains information that is valuable for bond predictability. Adding CG in forecasting regressions of bond excess returns significantly raises...

We incorporate a latent stochastic volatility factor and macroeconomic expectations in an affine model for the term … and implied volatility of T-bonds and survey forecasts of GDP growth and inflation. We find relatively stable inflation … risk premia averaging at 40bps at the long-end, and which are strongly related to the volatility factor and conditional …
