The methods used in the paper are ARIMA, ANN based ELM and a hybrid of ARIMA-ANN based ELM. The ARIMA model was used to model the linearity while nonlinearity was modelled using ANN-based ELM. The paper further modelled both the linearity and nonlinearity using the hybrid ARIMA-ANN based ELM model.The model was then compared to identify the best model to be used to modelon the JSE/FTSE closing stock prices using error matrices. The error metrics revealed that the hybrid ARIMA-ANN based ELM model performed better than the ARIMA (6,1,6) and ANN based ELM models. It is evident from literature that better forecasting leads to better policies in the future.Therefore, this paper recommends to the policymakers and practitioners to use the hybrid model as they yield better results. Furthermore, researchers may also delve into assessing the effectiveness of models by utilising additional conventional linear models and hybrid variants like ARIMA-GARCH and ARIMA-EGARCH. Future studies could also integrate these with nonlinear models to better capture both linear and nonlinear patterns in data.
