Abstract

This paper explores the application of time series forecasting techniques in the context of financial markets. The objective is to analyze how predictive models can be utilized to anticipate future market trends and behaviors. The study begins by reviewing various methods of time series analysis, including autoregressive models, moving averages, exponential smoothing, and advanced techniques such as ARIMA and neural networks. We then delve into the practical implementation of these models using historical data from stock markets, focusing on the United States and Europe. The analysis evaluates the accuracy and reliability of the forecasts generated by these models, considering factors such as market volatility and the influence of external economic indicators. The findings suggest that while time series forecasting can provide valuable insights into market dynamics, it is crucial to adapt the models to the specific characteristics of the financial instruments and to be cautious of the inherent limitations and assumptions involved in the process.
