Dynamic risk management and asset comovement

Abstract

When dealers’ hedging demand in one market depends on movements in another market it can drive a correlation between returns in the two markets. I show that changes in dealers’ demand for CDS protection for the purpose of counterparty risk management induce a non-fundamental correlation between credit and currency markets. The effects are economically significant. For example, I show that counterparty risk hedging associated with SoftBank’s currency swap portfolio substantially lowers the correlation between SoftBank’s CDS spread and the USD/JPY exchange rate and accounts for around 25% of the weekly volatility of CDS returns.
