Abstract
Understanding and predicting stock market volatility is crucial for investors and policymakers. Conventional methods have difficulties explaining the fluctuations in frequency between macroeconomic variables and market changes in accounting. A possibly useful method to increase forecasting accuracy is sentiment analysis combined with advanced deep learning models. This work solves frequency mismatches and improves short-term volatility forecasting by means of macroeconomic variables and sentiment analysis. Starting with the treatment of macroeconomic indicators as exogenous variables, the proposed approach treats GDP growth, inflation rates, and interest rates as examples of such variables first. One can estimate investor attitude in sentiment indices by means of the sentiment analysis model that processes market news and social media data. These indices constitute the input for an Evolutionary Multimodal Optimization-based Autoencoder (EMO-AE), which uses macroeconomic variables to derive the output. The EMO-AE enables one to effectively capture nonlinear dependencies and complex patterns, generating a strong representation that can forecast stock market volatility precisely. Macroeconomic considerations taken into account clearly show that the accuracy of weather prediction rises. The model reduces a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 15.2% and a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 3.7% compared to the traditional methods. This indicates that combining sentiment analysis with DL approaches is a good approach to project the stock market's volatility. The findings highlight the significant role macroeconomic factors and sentiment analysis play in the forecast of the stock market environment. The recommended approach gives investors and financial analysts a more accurate tool for decision-making, thus lowering the related risks connected with market volatility.
