We point out a stunning time asymmetry in the short-time cross-correlations between intra-day and overnight volatilities (absolute values of log-returns of stock prices). While overnight volatility is significantly (and positively) correlated with the intra-day volatility during the following day (allowing thus non-trivial predictions), it is much less correlated with the intra-day volatility during the preceding day. While the effect is not unexpected in view of previous observations, its robustness and extreme simplicity are remarkable.
