Many models of financial markets exist, but most of them simulate single asset markets. We study a multi asset Ising model of a financial market.

Many models of financial markets exist, but most of them simulate single asset markets. We study a multi asset Ising model of a financial market. Each agent has two possible actions (buy/sell) for every asset. The agents dynamically adjust their coupling coefficients according to past market returns and external news. This leads to fat tails and volatility clustering independent of the number of assets. We find that a separation of news into different channels leads to sector structures in the cross correlations, similar to those found in real markets. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
