A novel approach combining deep learning models with rigorous feature selection enhances the predictive accuracy of the RMB/USD exchange rate. Advanced architectures like LSTM, CNN, and transformer-based models are applied to address complexities in traditional forecasting methods. TSMixer emerges as the most effective model for this task, leveraging 40 features across six categories, including key economic indicators like China-U.S. trade volumes and major currency exchange rates. Grad-CAM visualization techniques further improve model interpretability, identifying influential features and bolstering prediction credibility. This study underscores the importance of fundamental economic data in exchange rate forecasting and highlights the potential of machine learning models for more accurate predictions.

Machine learning helps predict the value of currencies better! Researchers used special computer models to figure out which ones worked best at guessing the RMB/USD exchange rate. They found that one model, called TSMixer, was the most accurate. To make it work, they had to pick the right features, like trade volumes and currency rates from other countries. This helps make the predictions more reliable. The study shows how machine learning can help us understand better why currencies go up or down in value.
