Analyzing Perceptron Algorithm for Global Gold Price Prediction using Quantum Computing Approach

The price of gold has garnered significant attention in the world of finance and investment due to its role as a safe haven asset and an indicator of global economic stability. An inherent risk of investing in gold is the daily fluctuation in prices, which can rise, fall, or remain stable. Investors are constantly seeking accurate ways to predict gold price movements in order to make informed investment decisions. While classic algorithms like artificial neural networks have been used for gold price prediction, they often struggle with analyzing complex data and identifying the hidden patterns within large datasets. It is widely acknowledged that accurately and consistently predicting the gold price movements, exchange rate, and whether the gold price will rise or fall is very challenging. To address this challenge, this study explored the use of quantum perceptron algorithm for predicting global gold prices. This approach harnesses the principles of quantum computing to improve the efficiency and performance of neural network models. Quantum computers can perform multiple computations simultaneously, enabling the solution of problems that are difficult for classical computers. This study utilized global gold data from January 2018 to December 2022, with 80:20 split of training and testing data; data from January 2018 to December 2021 for training and data from January 2022 to December 2022 for testing. This study aims to offer insights into the potential and application of quantum algorithms in predicting gold prices. The research involved an analysis of global gold price predictions using the quantum perceptron algorithm and quantum computing.
