ING forecasts the dollar, which rallied 0.6 percent Tuesday to $1.0854 per euro at 11:30 a.m. in New York, will strengthen to parity by mid-year and reach 95 cents by Dec. 31. That’s more bullish than the median year-end estimate of $1.05 in a Bloomberg survey of 69 strategists and economists. It reached $1.0458 on March 16, the strongest since January 2003.
