Abstract EN
With the quick development of the Internet, online platforms that provide financial news and opinions have attracted more and more attention from investors.
The question whether investor sentiment expressed on the Internet platforms has an impact on asset return has not been fully addressed.
To this end, this paper uses the Baidu Searching Index as the agent variable to detect the effect of online investor sentiment on the asset price movement in the Chinese stock market.
The empirical study shows that although there is a cointegration relationship between online investor sentiment and asset return, the sentiment has a poor ability to predict the price, return, and volatility of asset price.
Meanwhile, the structural break points of online investor sentiment do not lead to changes in the asset price movement.
Based on the empirical mode decomposition of online investor sentiment, we find that high frequency components of online investor sentiment can be used to predict the asset price movement.
Thus, the obtained results could be useful for risk supervision and asset portfolio management.
