Saxo Bank’s Outrageous Predictions for 2017: More Likely Than Last Year’s
- The paper led by an intro from Saxo Bank’s CIO Steen Jakobsen is focusing on bond yields and fiscal policy.

December is always a month of reflection on the past year, and a glimpse into the coming future and the new year. With this particular new year being full of hope in the aftermath of the greatest political shift in 8 years, Saxo Bank is once again publishing a list of its most outrageous predictions for 2017.
In contrast to December 2015, when the Danish multi-asset brokerage’s outrageous forecasts were outright crazy at some points, this year’s forecasts are more likely to happen. Apparently the initiative led by the CIO of Saxo Bank Steen Jakobsen has turned more conservative this year and after almost getting some of the forecasts for 2016, the brokerage is presenting a new set of outrageous and potentially correct predictions for next year.
By the time the Article 50 invocation vote is put before Parliament, it is turned down in favour of the new deal
From Chinese GDP growing at 8 percent while the economy refocuses on the domestic services sector, to a “desperate FED” that mimics Japan’s currency depreciation policy of targeting the yield curve across to treasury markets, Saxo’s predictions also include the concept of Bremain.

“By the time the Article 50 invocation vote is put before Parliament, it is turned down in favour of the new deal that goes far beyond former prime minister David Cameron’s original treaty change requests,” Mr Hardy’s hypothetic scenario unfolds.

Next year is certain to be a fairly volatile one for the financial markets, and Saxo’s call for Europe to engage in common bond issuance and the establishment of a European Bad Debt Bank does not sound that outrageous today.
