Relatively little is known about international monetary-surprises and particularly the impact of surprises arising on the same trading day in financial markets. This paper investigates monetary announcements arising on the same trading day for various UK-related financial securities over the period 1999-2014. We introduce a relevant multi-factor model, which captures domestic and international monetary-surprises, including coinciding monetary announcements made by central banks in the UK, Euro Area and US and estimate it using a moments-based technique. The estimation results provide an indication of the importance of coinciding monetary-surprises relative to non-coinciding monetary surprises and other non-monetary-surprises identified by the model.
