In the research based on high-frequency data, literature on market microstructure has shown the existence of seasonality contradicted the Efficient Markets Hypothesis and recognized that asymmetric information, inventory carrying risks and other factors may affect these intraday patterns. In the first, this study uses GMM to test the intraday patterns of trading behavior and the result shows that there are individual L-shaped and U-shaped (or reverse J-shaped) patterns in volatility in the morning and afternoon sessions, M-shaped and U-shaped patterns in volume in the morning and afternoon sessions and double L-shaped patterns in bid-ask spread in the morning and afternoon sessions. Although the result of intraday patterns is a little different to previous research, it is consistent with literature on market microstructure to contradict the Efficient Markets Hypothesis. Secondly, this study also tests if macroeconomic news announcements affect the trading activities. The study presents that trading activities aren’t influenced by macroeconomic news. Maybe macroeconomic news is expected and trading behavior is affected before these news announcements release. In addition, the result from E.K.O. model shows that macroeconomic news announcements indeed make information asymmetry increase. According to these results, this study considers the other reason why the trading behavior can’t be affected by macroeconomic news is because macroeconomic news is not main factor.
