Why do you think you're right?

Between Malaysia and Bosnia, it seems there's a pretty high chance of this happening. The EU's CBAM has created a pretty strong incentive and there could be a rush of smaller countries looking to create their own measures to avoid paying the EU.

Why might you be wrong?
Governments often try to get by with the bare minimum, maybe there are more detail-free announcements without real action taken?

Why do you think you're right?

Lowering toward the crowd a bit as my hypothesis about more oil coming online hasn't materialized so far.

Happy to hold at 5%, again, primarily due to how much of a provocation this would be.

Why might you be wrong?

Major war breaking out?

Why do you think you're right?

Economies seem to be holding up well enough and there's very little time before the end of the year.

I dunno, AI bubble pops tomorrow and somehow it ripples through the economy at a dramatic rate?

Why do you think you're right?

Seems like the window for normalization is re-opening, though the next 6 months still seems unlikely. Before the end of Trump's term though? That seems much more plausible. 

Files
Why might you be wrong?

Trump's style seems to suit Middle Eastern politics well and could well accelerate normalization past what seems realistic.
