Abstract

This study adopts a systematic literature review to analyze social media sentiment towards specific commodities to enhance the accuracy of price movement forecasts in commodity markets. Drawing from the field of applied mathematics, the research gathered literature from Scopus, DOAJ, and Google Scholar databases, covering publications from 2014 to 2024. A rigorous search strategy yielded 66 journal articles, with 30 being selected for their close relevance to keywords such as "social media sentiment," "commodity markets," and "price forecasting." Results indicate that social media sentiment significantly influences commodity prices, with particular variations based on commodity type and geographical context. Specific sentiment factors—especially intensity, polarity, and timing—were found to have a pronounced impact on price dynamics, with sentiment polarity being particularly influential in volatile markets. Additionally, advanced analytical methods, like Bayesian Dynamic Linear Models and LSTM neural networks, enhance predictive accuracy when applied to sentiment analysis in this context. These findings underscore the value of social media sentiment in refining forecasting models, while also highlighting gaps in understanding regional sentiment variations and their effects on different commodity types. By synthesizing these insights, this study emphasizes the importance of considering social media sentiment for more accurate price predictions and identifies key areas for future research to explore the multifaceted impacts of sentiment in commodity markets.

Abstract

Rice is the main staple food for the majority of the Indonesian population. However, the fluctuation in rice prices and future uncertainty emphasize the importance of forecasting rice prices, thus requiring a forecasting model capable of providing accurate predictions. Various previous forecasting methods have been limited in capturing the combination of linear and non-linear patterns in rice price data, spurring the need for a more comprehensive hybrid approach. This research applies a quantitative approach by utilizing secondary data sourced from publications of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Indonesia. This study aims to forecast rice prices in Indonesia using a hybrid approach combining Holt–Winters Exponential Smoothing (HWES) with Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). The hybrid model is designed to overcome the limitations of the Holt-Winters Exponential Smoothing method, which can only capture linear patterns such as trend and seasonality, by adding the Multilayer Perceptron method to capture non-linear patterns that cannot be handled by the linear approach. The dataset comprises monthly rice prices in Indonesia from January 2010 to December 2024, while the period of January–December 2025 is used as the prediction period. The data analysis process was carried out using the software R-Studio and Minitab, which provide a variety of features to support time series modeling. The results indicate that the most effective method for forecasting rice prices in Indonesia is the Hybrid Holt Winters Exponential Smoothing (α = 0.5; β = 0.3; γ = 0.3)-Multilayer Perceptron (12-12-1), which achieved the highest accuracy with a MSE of 9666.12, a RMSE of 310.9117, and a MAPE of 1.9949%. This finding indicates that the Hybrid HWES-MLP approach is highly capable of capturing rice price data patterns. Thus, this model holds significant potential to be utilized as a benchmark supporting government policy in maintaining rice price stability, market intervention, and optimizing the management of national rice reserves stock.
