Abstract

The price of oil is nowadays a hot topic as it affects many areas of the world economy. The price of oil also plays an essential role in how the economic situation is currently developing (such as the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation and others) or the political situation in surrounding countries. The paper aims to predict the oil price movement in stock markets and to what extent the COVID-19 pandemic has affected stock markets. The experiment measures the price of oil from 2000 to 2022. Time-series-smoothing techniques for calculating the results involve multilayer perceptron (MLP) networks and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. Statistica 13 software, version 13.0 forecasts the oil price movement. MLP networks deliver better performance than RBF networks and are applicable in practice. The results showed that the correlation coefficient values of all neural structures and data sets were higher than 0.973 in all cases, indicating only minimal differences between neural networks. Therefore, we must validate the prediction for the next 20 trading days. After the validation, the first neural network (10 MLP 1-18-1) closest to zero came out as the best. This network should be further trained on more data in the future, to refine the results.
