Although the structure of this developing market differs from that of the U.S., intraday patterns are similar: volume, returns, standard deviations, bid-ask spreads and the spread adverse selection component follow U-shaped patterns throughout the trading day. We examine the effect of competition from U.S. markets by comparing intraday behavior of Mexican stocks with and without American Depositary Receipts (ADRs).} }
