Abstract: The primary object of this paper is to compare the traditional time series models with deep learning algorithm.The ARIMA model is developed to forecast Indian Gold prices using daily data for the period 2016 to 2020 obtained from World Gold Council.We fitted the ARIMA (2,1,2) model which exhibited the least AIC values. In the meanwhile, MLP, CNN and LSTM models are also examined to forecast the gold prices in India. Mean absolute error, mean absolute percentage error and root mean squared errors used to evaluate the forecasting performance of the models. Hence, LSTM model superior than that of the other three models for forecasting the gold prices in India.
