Revealing fluctuation law of the stock market in the view of emotion has consistently been an academic interest in psychology, economics and other behavioral disciplines. In recent years, studies building public emotion indicators with Internet data and then exploring the relationship between emotions and the stock market grow up to be a hot topic in this field. Firstly, we collected Weibo emotional time series data by the help of information science, based on which we built a Weibo Emotion Composite Index highly correlated with the stock market. Then, we used Co- integration test, Error Correction Model and other econometric methods to explore the relationship between the Weibo Emotion Composite Index and the stock market. Results show that there exists a significant long-term equilibrium relationship between Weibo Emotion Composite Index and the current and next trading day’s Shanghai Composite Index. nd Weibo Emotion Composite Index has a significant predictive power for the closing price of next trading day’s Shanghai Composite Index.
