We characterize the collective phenomena of a liquid market. By interpretin
g the behavior of a no-arbitrage N asset market in terms of a particle syst
em scenario, (thermo)dynamical-like properties can be extracted from the as
set kinetics. In this scheme the mechanisms of the particle interaction can
be widely investigated. We test the verisimilitude of our construction on
two-decade stock market daily data (DAX30) and show the result obtained for
the interaction potential among asset pairs.
