Not sure if there are any Nikkei traders here but I've noticed that at 2:30pm local on most days there's usually a sudden increase in volatility. Does anyone know why this might be? I've checked news/economic releases - nothing; the cash mkt doesn't close until 3:30pm...the only thing I can think of is something like the bonds going out?

You mean 2:30 PM local as to where? Tokyo, New York, Chicago?

Because NKD in the New York session follows ES and YM, so if there is a volatility in NKD then, also check the ES and YM as well.

By local time I mean Tokyo, so there wouldn't be influence from the US mkts.
And I'm referring to the actual Japanese Nikkei trading on OSE.

Ok got it. Make sure there was news the day you saw volatility. Because someone above me said nothing happened on Friday.

True, but look at Tue & Thur. I did say 'most' days, but its probably more like 1-2 days a week...but definitely there and I do take note of it in my own trading.

Thought someone may have known the reason behind it. It may just be a market behavioural characteristic that's a hangover from years gone by that still occurs. They all have their own peculiarities & personalities.
