We re-examine the long-term price interaction between the Australian equity market and futures market based on bootstrap causality tests with leverage adjustments to take into account multivariate ARCH effects and with the use of a new information criterion to choose the lag order. We cover the period January 1, 1988 to May 10, 2002. We find that the futures price Granger-causes the spot price but not vice-versa. Hence, our results indicate that price discovery starts with the futures market and information transmission between the two markets is not efficient.
