The paper analyzes XVA reduction strategies in financial crises using Mandatory Breaks, Restructuring, and Resets.

problem Challenges in client XVA management during crises when continuous collateralization is not feasible.
method Compares multiple trade strategies including Mandatory Breaks, Restructuring, and Resets.
result Resets can be twice as effective as Mandatory Breaks/Restructuring if there is no credit recovery. When recovery is at least 1/3, Mandatory Breaks/Restructuring can be more effective.

News attention to financial intermediaries and crises predicts excess bond premium and macroeconomic movements.

problem Drivers of the excess bond premium (EBP).
method News attention to 180 topics captures up to 80% of EBP variation and forecasts macroeconomic movements.
result News attention to financial intermediaries and crises drives up the EBP and predicts macroeconomic downturns.

The self-similar analysis of time series, suggested earlier by the authors, is applied to the description of market crises. The main attention is payed to the October 1929, 1987 and 1997 stock market crises, which can be successfully treated by the suggested approach. The analogy between market crashes and critical phe…

New method identifies precursors of financial crises in market correlation structures.

problem Predicting long-term financial crises in non-Markovian, non-stationary markets.
method Identifying quasi-stationary market states and their precursor properties.
result Certain features of market states show potential as indicators of financial crises.

Empirical data reveals that the liquidity flow into the order book (depositions, cancellations andmarket orders) is influenced by past price changes. In particular, we show that liquidity tends todecrease with the amplitude of past volatility and price trends. Such a feedback mechanism inturn increases the volatility, …
