Private information, bid-ask spreads and return volatility in the foreign exchange market
Trading volume and order flow have both been closely associated with informedtrader activity in the market microstructure literature. Using theory that explainsregular intraday patterns in trading data, we transform these variables into proxies forprivate information and examine their relationships with bid-ask spreads and returnvolatility. We use a unique and unusually rich high-frequency intraday dataset fromthe world’s largest financial market, namely, the electronic inter-dealer spot foreignexchange market.

They also reveal how the structure of theinter-dealer spot FX market affects exchange rate volatility
