Possible topics for BA thesis combining economics, mathematics, and applied to finance?

I am a future senior in college, majoring in Math and Economics. I am also interested in finance, and this summer working as an intern on the trading floor of a large investment bank.

How could I use my internship to gather data or get ideas for my thesis?

I would like my thesis to be quantitative and use a lot of data and econometric tools. Perhaps a model or an algorithm… Also, do you know sources such as jornals or articles that would help me get ideas and learn about how to structure and write a thesis?
