Abstract: We measure bond and stock conditional return volatility as a function of changes in sentiment, proxied by six indicators from the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. We find that changes in sentiment affect conditional volatilities at different magnitudes and often in an opposite manner in the two markets, subject to market states. We are the first to measure bonds conditional volatility of retail investors sentiment thanks to a unique dataset of corporate bond returns from a limit-order-book with highly active retail traders. This market structure differs from the prevalent OTC platforms, where institutional investors are active yet less prone to sentiment.
