This paper examines index futures expiration-day effects on the Taiwan stock market with high-frequency transaction data. We find that high price volatility exists on the market close of the last trading day for MSCI Taiwan index futures and it decreases next day. As for TAIEX futures, the results show that price volatility increases around the close of the last trading day and on the market open of the last settlement day under the old settlement system. However, such phenomenon disappears after the settlement period is lengthened. In addition, the futures pricing bias is not related to the returns of the last settlement period, it seems that the expiration-day effect cannot be attributed to price manipulators.
