By employing daily data we investigated the relationship between the role of macroeconomic announcements and equity returns via their connection to Fama-French (FF) factors.

We find that the information in macroeconomic announcements are not totally captured by FF factors and momentum. This casts some doubt on the risk-based explanation of FF factors as reflections of macroeconomic risks.
