Don’t believe the pessimists. David Cameron has a great chance at EU reformOpen Europe
In an op-ed published in The Daily Telegraph, Open Europe's Raoul Ruparel argues some think David Cameron's reforms have no chance of succeeding. Others think Europe is fine as it is. He should ignore both groups.

Juhani Huopainen: Why Greece matters to the other crisis countriesTF
The eurocrisis countries are not OK. The nonperforming loans are encumbering their banks' balance sheets, and not enough has been done to change this. This keeps the crisis countries politically on a tight leash, as creditor countries' political and probably financial support is inevitable. This explains why politicians in Spain and Italy remain loyal toward the EU and why they act passive-aggressively toward Greece. But what happens later this year, when Portugal and Spain hold elections?

Daily MacroWSJ
With GDP reports out of Europe Friday and the second estimate for the U.S. first quarter due later, we’re getting a clearer picture of how that now-bygone first term came out for the global economy. And it’s becoming pretty apparent that it wasn’t so good.

US economy probably shrank in Q1 - EUR/USD to break out of range on US GDP data * Oil prices dictate direction of longer yields

Morning MarketsTF
The dollar's had a rum run this week but there is one final obstacle it faces in the form of a likely ugly revision to US Q1 GDP. Is the train about to come off the rails?

Daily FX CommentMarc Chandler

Daily ShotTF
Yesterday stocks in Shanghai finally fell after a larger long upswing. Crude oil supply is still to large for prices to increase. In the Eurozone we can clearly see how the uncertainty of stalled negotiations with the creditors is eroding the recent gains in Greek business confidence. But outside of the political risks, the Eurozone economy continues to improve.

FX UpdateTF
The USD rally is taking a bit of a breather after its recent strong run, ahead of what will likely be an ugly negative revision to US Q1 GDP. The question is whether traders want to fret the view in the rearview mirror or look ahead to next week’s key US data.

From the FloorTF
With next week's data prints crucial to its direction, the dollar is expected to come through today's expected ugly revision to US Q1 GDP unscathed.
