Background of the Study
Financial market forecasting is an intricate process that relies on the analysis of vast volumes of data to predict market trends and inform investment strategies. The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) in Abuja is a dynamic environment where accurate market predictions are essential for effective decision-making by investors, regulatory bodies, and financial institutions. Traditional forecasting models based on classical computing methods have demonstrated limitations in processing real-time data and capturing the nonlinear dynamics of financial markets. Quantum-assisted AI, which integrates the computational prowess of quantum computing with the adaptive capabilities of artificial intelligence, offers a promising avenue for enhancing forecasting accuracy (Balogun, 2023). By leveraging quantum algorithms, these hybrid systems can perform parallel data processing and analyze complex market behaviors with unprecedented speed, uncovering subtle patterns that classical systems often miss (Okoro, 2024).
The optimization of quantum-assisted AI in financial market forecasting involves fine-tuning quantum algorithms and integrating them with sophisticated AI models to improve prediction reliability and efficiency. This innovative approach is particularly relevant to the NSE, where rapid market fluctuations require agile analytical tools capable of real-time decision-making. The study will examine how quantum-assisted AI can transform financial forecasting by reducing processing time, minimizing prediction errors, and increasing the robustness of models against market volatility. Moreover, the integration of quantum computing into AI frameworks could enhance the adaptability of forecasting models, enabling them to learn from historical data while swiftly adjusting to new market trends (Ibrahim, 2025). Such advancements could significantly benefit market participants by providing deeper insights into market dynamics and supporting more informed investment decisions. However, challenges such as high implementation costs, data integration complexities, and the need for specialized technical expertise must be addressed to realize these benefits fully (Adeniyi, 2024).
Statement of the Problem
The Nigerian Stock Exchange currently relies on traditional forecasting models that are limited by classical computing’s inability to process high-dimensional data efficiently. These limitations lead to suboptimal prediction accuracy and delayed responses to rapid market changes, hindering investors’ ability to make timely decisions (Emeka, 2023). Moreover, the complexity of financial markets, characterized by nonlinear interactions and high volatility, requires advanced analytical tools that can handle large datasets and dynamic patterns. The absence of quantum-assisted AI solutions in the current system exacerbates these challenges, as conventional models struggle to extract meaningful insights from noisy and rapidly changing data. Additionally, integrating quantum algorithms with existing AI frameworks presents technical hurdles, including algorithm optimization, error mitigation, and scalability issues (Chinwe, 2024). This study aims to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements in quantum computing and practical financial market applications by exploring the feasibility and performance of quantum-assisted AI in forecasting. Addressing these challenges is critical to enhancing the predictive capabilities of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, thereby improving investor confidence and market stability (Nwankwo, 2025).
