A new study published on arXiv analyzes the effectiveness of various machine learning models for forecasting the Egyptian Stock Exchange's EGX30 index. The research compares models like K-Nearest Neighbours, random forest, extreme gradient boosting, and recurrent neural networks (LSTM, GRU). Results indicate that the Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model performed best for one-week, one-month, and two-month predictions, while eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) excelled in one-day forecasts. The study also highlighted the benefits of ensemble techniques for long-term predictions and noted the surprisingly strong performance of K-Nearest Neighbours in long-term forecasting. AI
