The asymmetric dissemination of information among financial firms in the financial
market reflects their asymmetric response to the dissemination of both positive and negative
information. However, it is worth studying whether this asymmetry will intensify or alleviate
under different financial market conditions. Based on high-frequency minute stock price data of
Chinese A-share listed financial firms from July 2020 to July 2023, we decompose the good and
bad information, as well as the positive and negative volatility information in the return series. We
utilize the quantile cross-spectral correlation method to construct an information overflow network
at monthly intervals. We use the MVMQ-CAViaR model to estimate the value at risk (VaR) for
various quantiles and build a risk spillover network that incorporates both positive and negative
tail risk information, using the quantile dynamic SIM-COVAR-TENET model. We calculated the
network dissemination efficiency of both good and bad information, including average speed,
speed deviation, densest speed, and depth, to explore the changes in the asymmetry of good and
bad information dissemination under different financial market conditions. We get that when the
financial market is booming, financial firms’ asymmetric response to good and bad information
will increase, and the firms will pay more attention to bad information. When the financial market
declines, the asymmetric response of financial firms to good and bad information is diminished,
and their sensitivity to both positive and negative information is heightened. In addition, the
dissemination of bad information by firms in the five sub-financial industries across various
markets exacerbates the asymmetric response of other financial firms to good and bad
information. More importantly, the release of positive return information, negative volatility
information, and highly negative tail risk information by the real estate financial firms all impact
the asymmetric response of financial firms to good and bad information in a prosperous financial market. In recessionary financial markets, financial regulators can strategically release positive
information to mitigate the decline in the financial market. Conversely, in a booming financial
market, financial regulators should be cautious of the negative impact that bad information can
have on financial firms, particularly in relation to the excessive growth of the real estate sector and
the potential chain reaction of significant adverse events.
