We expect the Euro to continue being weak and underperform among other currencies.
While UK inflation might produce some negative prints in the coming months (our central forecast is that it remains zero or above), the threat of deflation is limited.
Actually, I believe there is a positive consolidation in the Dollar over the next 1-2 months.
Germany and Euro zone as a whole are experiencing quite strong economic tailwind at the moment.
Generally, the Ruble is feeling itself much better now. We have seen a significant turmoil in the currency during the month of December, which was triggered by a set of various factors.

More rate cuts are necessary and we expect the next cut approximately in March/April.
Of course, the development of exports is the key to economic growth in New Zealand.
I believe we have rather an optimistic view for this year, which is largely supported by a fiscal stimulus.
The BoE's inflation report will have to slash the forecasts over the next year, because oil prices are falling very sharply.
