Abstract

A longitudinal (1844-1965) study of the Pound Krona exchange rate is conducted utilizing London Times article news sentiment, gold price, GDP, and other relevant metrics to create a dynamic systems state-based model to predict the Pound Krona yearly exchange rate. The created model slightly outperforms a naive random walk forecasting model.
