Multifractal nature of stock exchange prices
Abstract
The multifractal structure of the temporal dependence of the Deutsche Aktienindex (DAX) is analyzed. The q-th order moments of the structure functions and the singular measures are calculated. The generalized Hurst exponent H(q) and the h(γ(q)) curve indicate a hierarchy of power law exponents. This approach leads to characterizing the nonstationarity and intermittency pertinent to such financial signals, indicating differences with turbulence data. A list of results on turbulence and financial markets is presented for asserting the analogy.
