Abstract

This research utilizes data mining and text analysis methods to extract investor attention, emotion, and opinion convergence from stock forums. A Restricted Reverse MIDAS model is constructed to explore the dynamic effects of real-time public opinion on intraday high-frequency stock index and trading volume. The empirical results demonstrate a positive impact of forum public opinion on high-frequency stock index and trading volume, with a time attenuation effect observed. Specifically, midday public opinion significantly influences the afternoon high-frequency stock index, exhibiting an initial increase and subsequent decrease in investor sentiment, while investor attention and opinion convergence exhibit a decreasing trend. Nighttime attention and sentiment primarily affect the next morning's high-frequency stock index. Moreover, the real-time emotional impact on the stock market varies across different environments.
