Asian Currencies Forecasting and Modelling Using a Time Series Analysis
Journal Title: International Journal of the Computer, the Internet and Management - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue 2
Abstract
The objectives of this study are to forecast and model the Asian foreign exchange rate by using the extension of time series analysis technique proposed by Box-Jenkins (1970), which it is universally known as an Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average with Explanatory Variable or “ARIMAX”. This empirical study selectively gathers the foreign exchange rate of the Asian countries since September 2015 to March 2017. The sample consists of 4 major Asian currencies that are actively traded in the foreign exchange market including Japanese Yen (JPY), Chinese Yuan (CNH), Singapore Dollar (SGD), and Malaysia Ringgit (MYR). These currencies are specifically denominated in Thai Baht (THB). In order to overcome a misspecification problem, Mean Square Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) are used as a criterion to select the forecasting model. The forecasting performance of each model has been competed together with a classical ARIMA and a random walk model. The finding shows that MSE of the forecasting errors calculated by a random walk model is the smallest comparing to other two models. In contrast, MAPE of the forecasting errors calculated from each model is slightly different in determining the forecasting performance since the ARIMAX performed the best in forecasting Malaysia Ringgit (MYR). Moreover, the ARIMAX also performed better than the classical ARIMA in forecasting Singapore dollar (SGD). Considering graphical illustration of a 30-day ahead forecasting performance, we found that the random walk model performed the best in forecasting the movement of a foreign exchange rate that exhibit low volatility characteristic. On the other hands, the ARIMA and its extension, “ARIMAX” performed the best in forecasting the movement of a foreign exchange rate that exhibit high volatility characteristic.
