Daily U.S. Market Update

Coming into this week major US indices had spent the previous two weeks consolidating in a tight range following the better than expected CPI data. Last week in holiday shortened trade both the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rallied ~1.5% testing the upper end of that range. We started off the week giving back most of those gains ahead of Chair Powell's speech at the Brookings Institute and this week's employment data. Those catalysts created some volatility but at the end of the day major indices ended the week modestly higher with the S&P 500 and Russell 2k up ~1% while the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the week around unchanged.

Closing Auction: Internalization effect throughout imbalance period
When stocks have high rates of off-exchange trading at the closing price, that volume is not included in the exchange auction process. This results in higher volatility leading up to and during the auction.
Closing Auction: Liquidity momentum around rebalances
NYSE Research examines closing auction liquidity in days around index rebalance events. Most stocks have larger auctions before and after major rebalance events, but the effect is most pronounced for stocks that have large rebalance auctions. For stocks most impacted by both quarterly and MSCI rebalance events, closing auction volumes show material increase for 3 days before and 3 days after the rebalance itself.
NYSE-listed stocks receive superior market quality
Comparing listing market quality across a large number of stocks is best achieved by using a matched sample, using key firm characteristics, such as sector, market cap, price and volume. The NYSE research team found that NYSE-listed stocks achieve tighter spreads, lower volatility and more accurate open and close auctions than their matched Nasdaq stocks, often by a significant margin.
