Jason Schenker, Economic Expert Stands Firm on Optimistic Euro Prediction Amid U.S. Uncertainty
In the Bloomberg article “A Consultant Who Beat Wall Street Stands By Bullish Euro Call,” published on April 2, 2025, Naomi Tajitsu highlights Jason Schenker’s unwavering confidence in his euro forecast. Schenker, the founder of Prestige Economics, predicts the euro will climb to $1.13 against the dollar by year-end—one of the most optimistic projections among analysts. His contrarian view, driven by signs of U.S. economic weakness and uncertainty over trade tariffs, has already proven profitable, bolstered by an unexpected surge in German spending.
Schenker, a seasoned economist with a history of accurate currency calls, believes that geopolitical tensions—particularly escalating U.S.-China relations—will weigh on the dollar. He views the current economic landscape through both financial and geopolitical lenses, arguing that the U.S.’s increasingly aggressive stance on China signals a “Cold War Two” scenario, which could further erode confidence in the greenback.
His unique perspective, shaped by his Texas-based consultancy rather than Wall Street, has helped him stand out in currency forecasting. As markets brace for the impact of trade policies, Schenker’s insights continue to challenge consensus expectations. Full Story: Bloomberg
