Capital Market Anomalies
FIALA, Michal
This work describes a total of three theories by which capital market price movements can be explained, as well as capital market anomalies. Empirical research is focused on the analysis of temporal anomalies, namely the day-of-the-week effect and the month-of-year effect. These effects were analysed on three indexes, namely the NASDAQ Composite Index, Euronext 100 Index and SSE Composite Index. These effects are tested first using the statistical testing method and then more closely using the linear regression method.

Analysis and Influences of Fundamental news on Gold Prices
Kubaštová, Magdaléna ; Fičura, Milan (advisor) ; Galuška, Jiří (referee)
This master thesis, Analysis and Influences of Fundamental news on Gold Prices deals with macroeconomic variables that drive the price of gold. This paper is divided into three chapters: Possible investment forms in gold, Fundamental analysis of commodities, and lastly Analysis of impact of strong economies and their influence on gold prices. In the first chapter, emphasis is put on the Efficient Market Theory that plays an important role in success or failure of investment strategies such as technical and fundamental analysis. The second chapter illustrates the Commitment of Traders (COT) report and how it is used as a tool to predict the movement of gold prices. This chapter also discusses other large drivers effecting gold prices such as financial and geopolitical stability, inflation, interest rates, Central Banking operations, the value of the US dollar, and other influences. The final chapter analyzes the impact of announced fundamental news in the United States, China, and Europe on the price of gold. The empirical part of this paper analysis the impact of announced fundamental news in United States, China and Europe on gold prices. With the use of the linear regression method, we can test whether the macroeconomic variables significantly influence the return on gold investments immediately after their announcement, or over long periods of time. If this new public data was calculated into gold prices directly, investors would not be able to achieve additional returns by using fundamental analysis. The major findings are summed up at the end of the last chapter.

Financial Market Anomalies
BUREŠ, Vladislav
The first part of thesis describes the Efficient Market Theory, its characteristics and forms. Another theoretical approach are Behavioral Finances that can also explain the stock market price making. The main topic is Financial Market Anomalies that defy the Efficient Market Theory. Anomalies state that an investor is able to achieve above average profits in the long term regularly. The thesis is focused on two anomalies selected for further testing on the data of companies traded on German exchange Xetra. Data was obtained from Yahoo Finance and processed for statistical tests. Anomalies occurrence was scarce, therefore it cannot be said that an investor is able to achieve above average profits in the long term regularly.

Financial market anomalies
Gavrylyuk, Zinayida ; Havlíček, David (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is focused on the analysis of some well-known financial market anomalies. The first part deals with the efficient market theory which is confronted with the basic ideas of behavioral finance. It is followed by the more-detailed description and analysis of three selected anomalies: the December effect, the momentum effect, and the underpricing of IPO. Analytical part tests the occurrence of anomalies on selected equity markets and deals with the possibilities to exploit them. There was not found any statistically significant evidence of influence of the December effect and the momentum effect on stock returns. But there were found significant differences in underpricing of IPO across sectors of the U. S. industry. The thesis provides an overview of the characteristics and occurrence of selected market abnormalities and opens the door to a more detailed analysis.
