In this festive time of hope and make-believe a list of the improbable but possible is surely appropriate. Luckily Deutsche just sent through its list of outliers for 2013 (we took the time to read number 2 and 3 twice): Fed finances the purchase of equities 2. Greece discovers gas reserves worth more than total debt 3. Sweden, Turkey and Brazil bring peace to the Middle East 4. UK coalition government breaks up - election called 5. A race to negative depo rates and every global stock market up 6. North Korea opening/detente 7. Iran turns less hawkish or more volatile 8. Breakdown of FX/equity correlation 9. South China Sea territorial tensions escalate 10. Sahara powers Europe 11. Climate change begins to be priced 12. EM bond bubble bursts 13. Malaysia government loses election We'd add: The UK and Switzerland adopt the euro. Citi admit their Grexit probability is as accurate as the proverbial dart throwing monkey. China's leaders decide multi-coloured suits are the way forward. NGDP targetting is either adopted and/ or everyone stops swooning about its potential. Draghi reveals his middle name is Clark. We start paying robots the wages they deserve. Robots unionise (see above). We all just get along. All other suggestions very welcome.
