Join Eimear Daly and Paul Robson as they discuss world FX prospects in a year that's sure to be dominated by news from the US. With the latest US inflation figures ever-so-slightly stronger than expected, little has changed for Fed policy. Meanwhile at the European Central Bank, the doves are growing in number, as inflation data has weakened the hawks' position.

In the UK, the nature of inflation bears more consideration than the headline rate, whereas in Poland the focus is on keeping borrowing rates steady - and confidence high.
