Sumario:From a macro perspective, futures index of agricultural products can reflect the trend of macroeconomy and can also have an early warning effect on the possible crisis and provide a reference for the government’s economic forecast and macro control. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the research on early warning and prediction of agricultural futures price. For the prediction of futures price, there are two kinds of common models: one is the traditional classic time series model, and the other is the neural network model under the wave of artificial intelligence. This paper selects the 1976 closing data of agricultural futures index from January 10, 2012, to February 27, 2020, and uses the time series differential autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA model) and long short-term memory model (LSTM model) to study this work, respectively, and compares the predicted effects of the two models in some metrics. Based on the predicted results of the two models, a simple trading strategy is established, and the trading effects of the two models are compared. The results show that the LSTM model has obvious advantage over ARIMA time series model in the price index prediction of agricultural futures market.
