Global: Fed - hiking without hiking?Nordea
Is the Fed trying to pull off a hawkish hike, or does it plan a dovish hike? The asset implications are completely different. Even if it is the latter, will the Fed be able to pull off such a stunt, or will Mother Earth(!) try to prevent it?

Seuraava Kreikka-paketti on velka-armahdusTalSa
Ylivelkaisen Kreikan seuraava tukimuoto on alustavien lupausten mukaan osittainen velka-armahdus. Sen kustantavat todennäköisesti Suomi ja muut euromaat. Suomenkin Kreikka-vastuut kasvaisivat, vaikka hallitusohjelman mukaan ei pitäisi. Siksi tiedossa on myös silmänkääntötemppuja.
