One after another, bank strategists are abandoning their bearish euro predictions in 2023.

JPMorgan Chase & Co analysts are the latest to give up their call for the shared currency to linger below dollar parity. Morgan Stanley strategists upped their year-end projection to $1.15 after their earlier $1.08 call was hit last week. An ING Groep NV team gave their forecast “a factory reset”.

“To quote a former UK prime minister when asked about the most significant challenges faced by his administration, the answer came: ‘Events, dear boy, events,’” wrote the ING team led by Chris Turner, which now sees the euro hitting $1.15 next quarter, versus an earlier forecast of parity. “The same can be said for foreign exchange strategists making FX forecasts.”

On Tuesday, European Central Bank Governing Council member Mario Centeno said the euro-area economy isbetter than many anticipated in the face of record inflation and the energy crisis that erupted after Russia attacked Ukraine.

International Finance: Davos 2023: geopolitics gets realIf there was an underlying theme to Davos 2020, it was the environment and Swedish activist Greta Thunburg was its star. If there was an underlying theme to Davos 2022, it was the Ukraine conflict and its consequences, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky being its star. If there is to be an underlying theme to Davos 2023, my guess is that it will shape up to be the process of dealing with geopolitics and their consequences, and its star (or villain) will be the ghost of conference non-attendee Vladimir Putin. That's why Cyril didn't go.
