Summary This article examines long memory volatility processes in the 5 minute Korean Treasury bond futures data using two different techniques: the GPH test and the EML test. Two proxies of volatility returns are used: absolute returns and square returns. We found intraday periodicity and autocorrelation persistence in the volatility for the 5 minute returns. The empirical results from both techniques indicate that there is little evidence of long memory in the level of returns, but there is significant evidence of long memory in the absolute returns and the square returns. This implies that volatility is best characterised by long memory processes. Additionally, we found that the absolute returns are the most appropriate indicator to represent the long memory volatility processes.
