  Momentum profits and macroeconomic factors
 
 
Title: Momentum profits and macroeconomic factors
Author: Chelley-steeley, Patricia
Siganos, Antonios
Appeared in: Applied economics letters
Paging: Volume 11 (2004) nr. 7 pages 433-436

Contents: This article tests whether macroeconomic variables and market sentiment influence the size of momentum profits. It finds that although returns to the winner and loser portfolios are influenced by a range of macroeconomic and market wide variables; momentum profits are influenced only by the scale of portfolio outflows. Thus, when investors are sending their capital elsewhere, reduced funds at home, dampen the profitability of the momentum trading strategy. It also finds that when the market closes, below its opening level in the previous six months, momentum profits are higher, which might be a reflection of mean reversion in the market.
