The Danish bank, Saxo Bank, has once again released its “outrageous predictions” for the upcoming year. These predictions, which are not endorsed by the bank, focus on unlikely events that would have a significant impact on the financial markets.According to Saxo Bank’s analysts, Saudi Arabia will acquire the rights to the Champions League, the price of oil will skyrocket to $150 per barrel, and the stock price of Manchester United will double. These predictions highlight the bank’s belief that the world is at a turning point in early 2024, as the familiar path of the past decade comes to an end.The bank’s forecast also includes some intriguing insights into potential challenges and opportunities in the year ahead. They predict a global health crisis triggered by obesity medications, as well as a decline in demand for luxury goods if the European Union introduces a wealth tax. The analysts also anticipate the rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) as a threat to national security, with the possibility of a high-ranking government official falling victim to a deepfake attack.In the United States, Saxo Bank suggests that the government will be forced to significantly increase public spending ahead of the 2024 elections to maintain economic stability and prevent social unrest. This could lead to a rise in the prices of US Treasuries and a flattening of the yield curve. The bank also predicts a political earthquake in the White House, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. winning the presidency as an independent candidate, which would be a historic first.While Saxo Bank’s predictions often surprise the financial world, it is important to note that the reality often turns out to be quite different. Nonetheless, these forecasts provide an interesting perspective on the potential challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in 2024.
