Abstract

As a booming industry, information technology has been applied to many other industries. The combination of finance and IT (financial technology) is one of the most representative mergers. Volatility is one of the most important indexes of all financial assets and it is hard to forecast using traditional financial method due to many uncertainties. This paper will use the improved LSTM network to forecast the US stock market, and compare the result with the actual data based on selected GARCH model. After a series of experiments, the predicted volatility is close to the actual volatility and LSTM is applicable in forecasting the stock volatility.
