This study develops and optimizes a hybrid LSTM-XGBoost forecasting model for daily ANTAM gold bar prices. The model utilizes historical time-series data of ANTAM gold prices, enriched with macroeconomic variables including the USD/IDR exchange rate and Brent oil prices, as well as derived features such as returns, lags, rolling statistics, and calendar effects. The LSTM component captures medium-term sequential patterns from the price series and macroeconomic variables, while the XGBoost component exploits a rich set of tabular features to model nonlinear relationships and volatility dynamics. Both models are trained and tuned separately, then combined through a weighted ensemble scheme in which the optimal weight is selected by minimizing Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) on the validation set. Experimental results on the test set show that the proposed hybrid model achieves Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 26,891,172.36, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 16,398.53, MAPE of 0.0058 (approximately 99.42% accuracy), and coefficient of determination \mathbit{R}^\mathbf{2} of 0.9971, outperforming a naïve baseline that assumes “tomorrow’s price equals today’s price”. The optimized LSTM-XGBoost hybrid model proves highly effective for short-term ANTAM gold price forecasting, providing reliable decision support for Indonesian gold market stakeholders.
