Denmark-based Saxo Bank released its 10 "outrageous" predictions for 2020 on Tuesday.

In the report, the firm bank breaks down "unlikely but underappreciated events" that could shake the financial markets next year.

"We see 2020 as a year where at nearly every turn, disruption of the status quo is an overriding theme," Saxo Bank chief economist Steen Jakobsen said in a statement. "The year could represent one big pendulum swing to opposites in politics, monetary and fiscal policy and, not least, the environment."

The events range from macroeconomic and country-specific forecasts to major shifts in specific industries.

While the predictions don't reflect Saxo Bank's official market forecasts for 2020, they represent a "warning of a potential misallocation of risk," for investors that see a small chance of the events materializing.
