Global Stock Market Prediction Using Transformer-Based Deep Learning Techniques

Deep learning approaches’ use in financial market forecasting has recently drawn a lot of attention from both investors and scholars. The Transformer framework, initially created for natural language processing, is used in this study to propose a revolutionary approach for forecasting the stock market indices of seven different economies: China, Canada, India, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The well-known Transformer architecture, which excels at capturing complex non-linear patterns, is modified to study the unique dynamics of each nation’s stock market. The model successfully determines the basic principles driving market behavior by using an encoder-decoder structure and a multi-head attention mechanism. The aforementioned indices are used in back-testing trials, which cover a variety of economic environments. The outcomes demonstrate that the Transformer performs better than conventional techniques, with Mean Squared Error (MSE) acting as a crucial evaluation criterion. Notably, the model shows promise for investors in these widely separated markets to receive excess profits. This study offers a thorough analysis of stock market forecasting, expanding its relevance to a wider global context. comprehension of how this strategy might adjust to various financial ecosystems is improved by the addition of seven unique economies. Future research may go more deeply into applications that are industry-specific and investigate potential extensions to additional international markets.
