  1. The portfolios are constructed by previous closeness centrality (v) or previous currency excess returns (log risk premia, rx). We set portfolio formation period and holding period equal to 1 month. The last column in Panel A and B is the difference between the portfolio 5(peripheral) and the portfolio 1(core) for NCF strategy. The last column in Panel C and D is the difference between the portfolio 5(winner) and the portfolio 1(loser) for MOM strategy. The value in square brackets is t-statistics
