Abstract
In this paper we consider financial time series from U.S. Fixed Income Market, S&P500, DJ Eurostoxx 50, Dow Jones, Mibtel and Nikkei 225. It is well known that financial time series reveal some anomalies regarding the Efficient Market Hypothesis and some scaling behaviour, such as fat tails and clustered volatility, is evident. This suggests that financial time series can be considered as “pseudo”-random. For this kind of time series the prediction power of neural networks has been shown to be appreciable [10]. At first, we consider the financial time series from the Minority Game point of view and then we apply a neural network with learning algorithm in order to analyse its prediction power. We prove that the Fixed Income Market shows many differences from other markets in terms of predictability as a measure of market efficiency.
