Abstract
An estimate of the low q-moment values of the assumed multifractal spectrum of Gold price, Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) and Bulgarian Lev - USA Dollar (BGL-USD) exchange rate over a 6 1/2 year time span has been made. The findings can be compared to the analysis made on 23 foreign currency ex change rates by Vandewalle and Ausloos but there is a clear indication of s ome differences. Comparison to fractional Brownian motion is made. The anal ysis shows that these three financial data are not likely fractal but rathe r multifractal indeed.
