An ARIMA model with external factors that describe the announcement events is used. They find that several macroeconomic announcements, particularly the ISM Manufacturing Reports, Non-Farm Payrolls, Housing Starts, and to a lesser extent, Jobless Claims, Leading Indicators, and CPI significantly increase daily trading volumes.TOPICS: Exchange-traded funds and applications, exchanges/markets/clearinghouses
