NGUSD Commodity   3.40  0.27  8.63%   
The Simple Exponential Smoothing forecasted value of Natural Gas on the next trading day is expected to be 3.39 with a mean absolute deviation of 0.09 and the sum of the absolute errors of 5.72. Investors can use prediction functions to forecast Natural Gas' commodity prices and determine the direction of Natural Gas's future trends based on various well-known forecasting models. However, exclusively looking at the historical price movement is usually misleading.
  
Natural Gas simple exponential smoothing forecast is a very popular model used to produce a smoothed price series. Whereas in simple Moving Average models the past observations for Natural Gas are weighted equally, Exponential Smoothing assigns exponentially decreasing weights as Natural Gas prices get older.

Natural Gas Simple Exponential Smoothing Price Forecast For the 27th of November

Given 90 days horizon, the Simple Exponential Smoothing forecasted value of Natural Gas on the next trading day is expected to be 3.39 with a mean absolute deviation of 0.09, mean absolute percentage error of 0.02, and the sum of the absolute errors of 5.72.
Please note that although there have been many attempts to predict Natural Commodity prices using its time series forecasting, we generally do not recommend using it to place bets in the real market. The most commonly used models for forecasting predictions are the autoregressive models, which specify that Natural Gas' next future price depends linearly on its previous prices and some stochastic term (i.e., imperfectly predictable multiplier).

Natural Gas Commodity Forecast Pattern

Natural Gas Forecasted Value

In the context of forecasting Natural Gas' Commodity value on the next trading day, we examine the predictive performance of the model to find good statistically significant boundaries of downside and upside scenarios. Natural Gas' downside and upside margins for the forecasting period are 0.03 and 8.38, respectively. We have considered Natural Gas' daily market price to evaluate the above model's predictive performance. Remember, however, there is no scientific proof or empirical evidence that traditional linear or nonlinear forecasting models outperform artificial intelligence and frequency domain models to provide accurate forecasts consistently.

Model Predictive Factors

The below table displays some essential indicators generated by the model showing the Simple Exponential Smoothing forecasting method's relative quality and the estimations of the prediction error of Natural Gas commodity data series using in forecasting. Note that when a statistical model is used to represent Natural Gas commodity, the representation will rarely be exact; so some information will be lost using the model to explain the process. AIC estimates the relative amount of information lost by a given model: the less information a model loses, the higher its quality.
