Round the Clock Price Discovery: Evidence from Infosys and USDINR Futures

Infosys is dual listed in USD on the Nasdaq (INFY) and in INR on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) (INFY).  I do not have access to any spot INR facilities, however I do have available some NSE listed USD/INR futures.  These futures allow for the currency-adjusted value of either equity to be derived.  Similar price transmission studies have been discussed using prices from Glencore, RWE, Apple, and Sino-Forest, all four however using the spot FX as the pricing mechanism.

The two shares outright:

A European-listed, EUR-denominated equity would be advantageous for price transmission.  Further study could include the viability of using a EUR-denominated tech sector ETF as a pricing mechanism for the risk inherent between NSE and Nasdaq trading times.  


Research of this nature is, to date, inconclusive and will be continuous.
