EconoMind: Navigating Your Financial Future

The project leverages TASI (Tadawul All Share Index) stock market data and Saudi hews data to forecast future stock prices. By fine-tuning LSTMs (Long Short-Term Memory) and Arabert models on TASI market specifics, the project achieves enhanced predictive accuracy. The LSTM models capture sequential dependencies in stock data, while the Arabert model understands contextual nuances in Saudi news. This integration empowers the system to analyze market trends and comprehend how news sentiment impacts stock prices. By training on TASI-specific data, the models adapt to the unique characteristics of the Saudi stock market, resulting in more precise predictions. This synergy of machine learning and financial insights equips investors with informed decision-making tools, amplifying their potential to navigate the TASI market with greater confidence.
