Saxo Group Predicts USD/JPY Crash, Electric Air Taxis, and AI CEOs

A series of predictions for 2026 from Saxo Group's Outrageous Predictions report has sparked attention in the financial and crypto communities. According to the report, a carry trade unwind would bring the USD/JPY exchange rate to 100, potentially unleashing Japan's next asset bubble.

The report also predicts that Singapore will transform regional travel with electric air taxis, replacing traditional causeways and ferries. Furthermore, it forecasts that a Fortune 500 company will name an AI model as its CEO, raising questions about the trustworthiness of artificial intelligence in high-level decision-making positions.

Another prediction suggests that Beijing's 'golden yuan' framework for settling trade could challenge the dominance of the US dollar. Additionally, the report warns that a trillion-dollar clean-up may be necessary due to mistakes made by agentic AI systems deployed across various sectors.
