Abstract: | This paper analyses a three-state Markov switching model with time-varying transition probabilities. The transition probabilities are modelled as functions of portfolio flows at a daily frequency. The evidence supports the hypothesis that currency market behaviour is characterised by regimes and that the probability of staying in a regime is materially impacted by portfolio flows. This suggests that timely knowledge of portfolio flows should be useful information for market participants attempting to add value via active currency trading. |
