End-User Order Flow and Exchange Rate DynamicsMark P. TaylorUniversity of Warwick - Department of Economics; Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) Markus A. SchmidtDeutsche Bundesbank Stefan ReitzUniversity of Giessen; Deutsche Bundesbank February 8, 2008 Deutsche Bundesbank Discussion Paper No. 05/2007 Abstract: In this paper we provide evidence for Evans and Lyons' (2005b) model of an information aggregation process in FX markets, using a rich data base on a German bank's end-user order flow from 2002 to 2003. Though customer order flow is unambiguously the vehicle incorporating non-public information into exchange rates over time, our empirical analysis does not support the widespread optimism in the market microstructure literature that customer order flow is a high-powered source of information easily exploitable for short-run speculation. Moreover, commercial customers' order flow produces negative coefficients in contemporaneous return regressions, stressing their role as liquidity providers.
