Daily Return Correlations: A Reexamination

Recent empirical findings question the existence of a random walk for security returns. The belief in the random walk hypothesis and weak-form market efficiency, which is still widely espoused, relies heavily on the seminal work of Fama concerning daily return correlation.

description Recent empirical findings question the existence of a random walk for security returns. The belief in the random walk hypothesis and weak-form market efficiency, which is still widely espoused, relies heavily on the seminal work of Fama concerning daily return correlation. This study reexamines daily return correlations using a much longer time period but with a methodology comparable to Fama's. Results presented in this paper show significant correlation in daily equity returns and significant deviation from randomness for the signs of equity returns for all (Dow Jones Industrial Average) securities. Further, simulation analysis shows that today's returns may be used to predict which securities will have abnormally high and abnormally low returns tomorrow.
