Presentation
Digital Finance: Non-Systematic Systematics, LLM Narratives, and High-Frequency Trading Around Macro-News Announcements
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Joerg Osterrieder, University of Twente
Abstract:
This presentation examines the intersection of large language models (LLMs), narrative analysis, and ultra-high-frequency trading dynamics around macroeconomic announcements. Using nanosecond-precision data from major futures exchanges, we document the remarkable speed at which modern markets incorporate new information.
Key Research Findings:
| Metric | Finding |
|---|---|
| First 10 microseconds profit | $35 million (CME futures) |
| Minimum reaction latency | 3 nanoseconds (EUREX) |
| Trading volume concentration | 60% in first microseconds |
| Cross-market arbitrage window | 37 milliseconds |
Research Implications:
The findings have significant implications for market microstructure theory, regulatory policy, and the design of fair trading systems. The presentation explores how LLM-based narrative analysis can predict market reactions and discusses the challenges of maintaining market fairness in an era of nanosecond trading.
