Chapter 1: Introduction

Financial markets teach you humility. Two years ago, I made these related forecasts. First I forecast the euro would strengthen as European economic recovery picked up and the US economy slowed. Second, I forecast euro strength would be augmented over the next five years by a reduction of Europe's $100 billion to $150 billion of excess dollar reserves. Third, I forecast that the authorities would be less concerned over exchange rates, would only intervene after bigger exchange rate moves, and so exchange rate volatility would rise. Interestingly, people still ask for my opinion.
