Machine Learning Outperforms Traditional Models in Bond Yield Curve Forecasting

A new research paper explores the application of Machine Learning (ML) techniques for forecasting the term structure of government bonds in the U.S. and European markets. The study compares traditional econometric models like Dynamic Nelson-Siegel (DNS) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) against various Neural Network (NN) architectures. Incorporating macroeconomic variables, the findings indicate that NNs consistently outperform traditional methods in both predictive accuracy and portfolio performance. For the U.S., a direct-forecasting NN combined with DNS factors and an Autoencoder for macroeconomic features proved most effective, while for Europe, a factor-based NN using PCA factors without macroeconomic integration yielded optimal results.
