Unit of analysis: Stock Market Index Analysis

This dataset is useful for research purposes, particularly for conducting comparative analyses involving capital market performance and could be used along with other economic indicators.

There are 18 distinct CSV files associated with this dataset. First 16 CSV files deals with number of indices and last two CSV file deals with annualized return of each year and CAGR of each index. If data in any column is blank, it portrays that index was launch in later years, for instance: Bse500 (India), this index launch in 2007, so earlier values are blank, similarly China_Top300 index launch in year 2021 so early fields are blank too.

The extraction process involves applying different criteria, like in 16 CSV files all columns are included, Adj Close is used to calculate annualized return. The algorithm extracts data based on index name (code given by the yahoo finance) according start and end date.

Annualized return and CAGR has been calculated and illustrated in below image along with machine readable file (CSV) attached to that.

To extract the data provided in the attachment, various criteria were applied:

1. Content Filtering: The data was filtered based on several attributes, including the index name, start and end date. This filtering process ensured that only relevant data meeting the specified criteria.

2. Collaborative Filtering: Another filtering technique used was collaborative filtering using yahoo finance, which relies on index similarity. This approach involves finding indices that are similar to other index or extended dataset scope to other countries or economies. By leveraging this method, the algorithm identifies and extracts data based on similarities between indices.

In the last two CSV files, one belongs to annualized return, that was calculated based on the Adj close column and new DataFrame created to store its outcome. Below is the image of annualized returns of all index (if unreadable, machine-readable or CSV format is attached with the dataset).

Annualized Return:

As far as annualised rate of return is concerned, most of the time India stock market indices leading, followed by USA, Canada and Japan stock market indices.

Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR):

The best performing index based on compound growth is Sensex (India) that comprises of top 30 companies is 15.60%, followed by Nifty500 (India) that is 11.34% and Nasdaq (USA) all is 10.60%.

The worst performing index is China top300, however this is launch in 2021 (post pandemic), so would not possible to examine at that stage (due to less data availability). Furthermore, UK and Russia indices are also top 5 in the worst order.

Context

Stocks and financial instrument trading is a lucrative proposition. Stock markets across the world facilitate such trades and thus wealth exchanges hands. Stock prices move up and down all the time and having ability to predict its movement has immense potential to make one rich. Stock price prediction has kept people interested from a long time. There are hypothesis like the Efficient Market Hypothesis, which says that it is almost impossible to beat the market consistently and there are others which disagree with it.

There are a number of known approaches and new research going on to find the magic formula to make you rich. One of the traditional methods is the time series forecasting. Fundamental analysis is another method where numerous performance ratios are analyzed to assess a given stock. On the emerging front, there are neural networks, genetic algorithms, and ensembling techniques.

Another challenging problem in stock price prediction is Black Swan Event, unpredictable events that cause stock market turbulence. These are events that occur from time to time, are unpredictable and often come with little or no warning.

A black swan event is an event that is completely unexpected and cannot be predicted. Unexpected events are generally referred to as black swans when they have significant consequences, though an event with few consequences might also be a black swan event. It may or may not be possible to provide explanations for the occurrence after the fact – but not before. In complex systems, like economies, markets and weather systems, there are often several causes. After such an event, many of the explanations for its occurrence will be overly simplistic.

New bleeding age state-of-the-art deep learning models stock predictions is overcoming such obstacles e.g. "Transformer and Time Embeddings". An objectives are to apply these novel models to forecast stock price.

Content

Stock price prediction is the task of forecasting the future value of a given stock. Given the historical daily close price for S&P 500 Index, prepare and compare forecasting solutions. S&P 500 or Standard and Poor's 500 index is an index comprising of 500 stocks from different sectors of US economy and is an indicator of US equities. Other such indices are the Dow 30, NIFTY 50, Nikkei 225, etc. For the purpose of understanding, we are utilizing S&P500 index, concepts, and knowledge can be applied to other stocks as well.

Dataset

The historical stock price information is also publicly available. For our current use case, we will utilize the pandas_datareader library to get the required S&P 500 index history using Yahoo Finance databases. We utilize the closing price information from the dataset available though other information such as opening price, adjusted closing price, etc., are also available. We prepare a utility function get_raw_data() to extract required information in a pandas dataframe. The function takes index ticker name as input. For S&P 500 index, the ticker name is ^GSPC. The following snippet uses the utility function to get the required data.(See Simple LSTM Regression)

Features and Terminology: In stock trading, the high and low refer to the maximum and minimum prices in a given time period. Open and close are the prices at which a stock began and ended trading in the same period. Volume is the total amount of trading activity. Adjusted values factor in corporate actions such as dividends, stock splits, and new share issuance.

Context

Time series modelling for the prediction of stocks prices is a challenging task. Political events, market expectations and economic factors are just a few known factors that can impact financial market behaviour. The financial market is a complex, noisy, evolutionary and chaotic field of study that attracts many enthusiasts and researches — the first, usually driven by the economic benefit of it, the latter, inspired by the challenge of handling such complex data.

This project aims to predict Facebook (FB) next day stock price direction with machine learning algorithms. Technical indicators and global market indexes are used, and their influence on the forecast accuracy is analysed.

Content

Daily values were retrieved (volume, open, close, low and high prices) from Yahoo! Finance website. For Facebook (FB), July 2012 was the earliest data available. The date range is July 2012 to November 2018.

The closing price of current day C(t) and closing price from the previous day C(t-1) are compared to build the initial dataset. The objective is to define if the price trend is going up or down by analysing these two values. For each instance, a comparison was made and recorded. If the price is going up, C(t) > C(t-1), class “1” is assigned. Class “0” is assigned for the opposite case.

• ID: Sample ID
• Close: Closing value of previous day
• Low: Lowest value of previous day
• High: Highest value of previous day
• Volume: Volume value of previous day

Research was initiated to understand which features could help the model to forecast the stock direction. Three main routes were found: Lag features, Technical Indicators and Global Market Indexes. Below is an explanation of each group of features.

Lag features are features that contain the closing price and direction of previous days and it is a common strategy for Time Series models. The following features were added:

• C(t-5): Closing price of 5 days before
• C(t-4): Closing price of 4 days before
• C(t-3): Closing price of 3 days before
• C(t-2): Closing price of 2 days before
• C_up_4: Output 1 if closing price went up 4 days ago
• C_up_3: Output 1 if closing price went up 3 days ago
• C_up_2: Output 1 if closing price went up 2 days ago
• C_up_1: Output 1 if closing price went up 1 day ago

Technical indicators are used by researches and financial market analysts to support stock market trend forecasting. Common indicators retrieved from the literature were selected and calculated for Facebook stock. Techical Indicators added:

• MA-10: Moving Average considering previous 10 days
• MA-5: Moving Average considering previous 5 days
• WMA-10: Weighted Moving Average considering previous 10 days
• SO: Stochastic Oscillator
• M: Momentum as the difference in closing price in a 10 days interval
• SSO: Slow Stochastic Oscillator
• EMA: Exponential Moving Average for a 10 day period
• MACD_Sline_9: MACD Signal Line for a 9 day period
• RSI: Relative Strength Index
• CCI: Commodity Channel Index
• ADO: Accumulation Distribution Oscillator

Technical indicators provide a suggestion of the stock price movement. Additional features were created for each technical indicator by analysing its daily value and assigning a class according to their meaning. Class “1” is given if the indicator numerical value suggests upper trend, class “0” for a downtrend. In other words, financial market analysis is performed at a simplistic level, in the attempt to translate what the continuous value means.

• MA-10>C: If MA-10 is higher than Closing price output 1
• MA-5>C: If MA-5 is higher than Closing price output 1
• WMA-10>C: If WMA-10 is higher than Closing price output 1
• SO>SOt-1: Output is 1 if SO current value is higher than previous day
• M>0: A positive momentum outputs 1
• SSO>SSOt-1: SSO current value is higher than previous day
• EMA>C: If EMA is higher than Closing price output 1
• MACD>MACDt-1: If MACD current value is higher than previous day output 1
• RSI70-30: If RSI is above 70, output 0. Values below 30 output is one. For values within this range it compares to previous day and outputs 1 if value has increased
• CCI200-200: Similar to RSI, but if threshold set for 200 and -200.
• ADO>ADOt-1: Output is 1 if ADO current value is higher than previous day

For a given country or region, the stock market index characterises the performance of its financial market and the overall local economy. For this reason, the same day performance of these markets could contribute to the machine learning model predictions. Six global indexes were added as features, with their closing direction as up or down, class “1” or “0”, respectively. Data for these indexes (Nikkei, Hang Seng, All Ordinaries, Euronext 100, SSE and DAX) were also retrieved from Yahoo! Finance.

The S&P 100 index is a collection of 101 constituent companies representing a diverse range of industries and sectors, including technology, finance, healthcare, and more.
