Crude oil is one of the most closely observed commodity prices as it influences costs across all stages of the production process and consequently alters the price of consumer goods as well. What determines crude oil benchmarks? In the past decade, crude oil prices have been especially volatile. Their inherent inelasticity regarding short-term changes in demand and supply means that oil prices are erratic by nature. However, since the 2009 financial crisis, many commercial developments have greatly contributed to price volatility, such as economic growth by BRIC countries like China and India, and the advent of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling in the U.S. The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are examples of geopolitical events dictating prices. Light crude oils - Brent and WTI Brent Crude is considered a classification of sweet light crude oil and acts as a benchmark price for oil around the world. It is considered a sweet light crude oil due to its low sulfur content and low density and may be easily refined into gasoline. This oil originates in the North Sea and comprises several different oil blends, including Brent Blend and Ekofisk crude. Often, this crude oil is refined in Northwest Europe. Another sweet light oil often referenced alongside UK Brent is West Texas Intermediate (WTI). WTI oil prices amounted to 76.55 U.S. dollars per barrel in 2024.

Forecasting gold prices remains vital in financial markets, given gold’s dual role as both a hedge against inflation and a safe-haven asset during economic uncertainty. This study proposes a hybrid model integrating SARIMA, LSTM, and RF to improve predictive accuracy by capturing both linear and nonlinear dependencies in historical gold price data. SARIMA models linear trends and seasonal components, LSTM captures nonlinear patterns from SARIMA residuals, and RF refines predictions using macroeconomic indicators such as the USD Index, Federal Interest Rate, US CPI, Oil Prices, S&P 500 Index, and Bond Yields. Utilizing real-world data, the model effectively tracks market trends with reduced forecasting errors, indicating continued price fluctuations and potential long-term growth. The findings provide valuable insights for investors and policymakers, with future research focusing on additional macroeconomic factors and advanced hybrid forecasting techniques. This study introduces a hybrid SARIMA–LSTM–RF model that enhances the accuracy of gold price forecasting by capturing both linear and nonlinear market dynamics. By integrating macroeconomic indicators such as the USD Index, Federal Interest Rate, CPI, Oil Prices, S&P 500 Index, and Bond Yields, the model effectively reflects real-world financial interactions influencing gold prices. The results demonstrate reduced prediction errors and improved tracking of short-term fluctuations as well as long-term growth trends. These findings provide valuable implications for investors and policymakers in managing financial risk and optimizing investment portfolios, while contributing to the advancement of hybrid forecasting frameworks for complex financial time series.
