The paper is focusing in analyzing the robustness of the Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) as a predictive model in forecasting the crude oil price. The paper has identified stochastic trend in the daily time series data starting from (03.01.2011 to 11.10.2019). The time considered in the study is subject to high volatility, which makes this paper unique from the current stock of knowledge. During this time frame it has been identified that there is no structural break. The empirical analysis furnishes that the ARIMA is the best suited model. The decision criterion for the selection of the best suited model depends on ME, RMSE, MAE and MASE. From the results of the criterion it has found that both the models are providing almost closed results but again ARIMA is the best suited model for the current data set.
