股票市场自2018年2月以来一直不稳定
The Stock Market Has Grown Unstable Since February 2018
摘要:
2018年2月5日,道琼斯工业平均指数下跌1,175.21点,这是历史上最大的单日跌幅。这是继第二天下跌666点之后的又一次下跌,三天后又下跌了1000多点。人们自然会问,这些事件是否表明市场行为正在向一种新的制度过渡,特别是考虑到此后几周的剧烈波动-既有收益也有损失。为了说明这一点,我们可以应用一个基于复杂系统科学的模型,这个模型在揭示20世纪80年代到21世纪初的股票市场动态方面取得了相当大的成功。通过使用股票价格的大规模联动作为不健康的市场动态的早期指标,这项工作发现,突然下降的某个参数$U$提供了一个早期预警的单日恐慌和经济危机。$U$的下降表明“高度联动”的机制,这是一种与波动性不同的市场行为,尽管市场波动性可能是联动的一个组成部分。将同样的分析应用于2016年初至今的股价数据,我们发现自2月5日以来的$U$值显著低于之前的时期。这种下降在2018年5月的最后一周进入了“危险区”。
英文摘要:
On the fifth of February, 2018, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1,175.21 points, the largest single-day fall in history in raw point terms. This followed a 666-point loss on the second, and another drop of over a thousand points occurred three days later. It is natural to ask whether these events indicate a transition to a new regime of market behavior, particularly given the dramatic fluctuations --- both gains and losses --- in the weeks since. To illuminate this matter, we can apply a model grounded in the science of complex systems, a model that demonstrated considerable success at unraveling the stock-market dynamics from the 1980s through the 2000s. By using large-scale comovement of stock prices as an early indicator of unhealthy market dynamics, this work found that abrupt drops in a certain parameter $U$ provide an early warning of single-day panics and economic crises. Decreases in $U$ indicate regimes of "high co-movement", a market behavior that is not the same as volatility, though market volatility can be a component of co-movement. Applying the same analysis to stock-price data from the beginning of 2016 until now, we find that the $U$ value for the period since 5 February is significantly lower than for the period before. This decrease entered the "danger zone" in the last week of May, 2018.
