This article considers the impact of major scheduled US macroeconomic announcements on the COMEX gold futures market in a high-frequency setting. A VAR-GARCH framework identifies the significant relationship between the release of macroeconomic news and measures of market activity. There is a well-defined link between (higher) volatility, (higher) trading costs and (lower) transaction volume.
