Nostradamus, inspired by the French astrologer and reputed seer, is a
detailed study exploring relations between environmental factors and changes in
the stock market. In this paper, we analyze associative correlation and
causation between environmental elements and stock prices based on the US
financial market, global climate trends, and daily weather records to
demonstrate significant relationships between climate and stock price
fluctuation. Our analysis covers short and long-term rises and dips in company
stock performances. Lastly, we take four natural disasters as a case study to
observe their effect on the emotional state of people and their influence on
the stock market.Comment: 12 pages, 13 figure
