Meet Europe's leader of last resort Business Spectator

Just as Draghi makes his power grab sound like monetary prudence, Monti dresses his authoritarian demands in the colourful language of European integration and cooperation. But it cannot disguise the fact that what he is actually demanding is a departure from liberal democracy. In the European Union, criticism is denounced as populism, recklessness is called prudence, and disunion becomes integration.

Preview for 13 September 2012 FOMC statement and presser alphaville / FT

FOMC will do more, not less.... Saxo Bank
Steen Jakobsen: The FOMC has two major reasons for doing more rather than less: rising unemployment and more importantly the approaching fiscal cliff. This means higher risk of a full blown QE3 announcement today.

In'credible' Ben? Is QE3 a step too far?Saxo Bank
The likelihood of QE3 tonight is pretty much 50:50, which by default is the point of maximum uncertainty and thus the least market friendly position. The build up to this evening's FOMC meeting may be less than inspiring.

Ben Bernanke's last throw of the dice... Will he roll sixes?Saxo Bank
