Abstract: This paper analyzes the volatility of the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery index with reference to the Shanghai Composite Index, and then makes a study on the influencing factors of the stock market’s abnormal fluctuation and the characteristics of abnormal fluctuation. The results show that the agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery index has the characteristics of abnormal fluctuation. However, the chance for the index to rise and drop sharply is less, the market is more sensitive to the fluctuation and its long memory characteristic is not so significant, and investors’response to good market news is stronger. The agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery index presents a situation that its volatility is more moderate compared with the whole China’s stock market. Therefore, this paper puts forward relevant policy suggestions in the index’s further good development.
