Abstract: Because of its critical position in open economies and its extremely high volatility, the stock market price index has been a popular subject of market research. In modern financial markets, traders and practitioners have had trouble predicting the stock market price index. In order to solve this problem, some methods have been researched by researchers and suitable methods have been found. To analyze and forecast monthly stock market price index, a variety of statistical and econometric models are extensively used. Thus, this study aims to investigate the application of autoregressive integrated moving averages (ARIMA) for forecasting monthly stock market price index in Istanbul for the period from 2009- M01 to 2021-M03. As compared to all other tentative models, the research showed that the ARIMA (3,1,5) model is the best fit model for predicting the stock market price index. Forecasting is conducted by using the developed model ARIMA (3,1,5) and the results indicated that the forecasted values are very similar to the actual ones, reducing forecast errors. In general, the stock market price index in Istanbul; showed a downwards trend over the forecasted period. The results of the study can set an example for researchers and practitioners working in the stock market and can be a guide for economic decision units and investors in the stock market.
