Euro area: Expect less drag from fiscal policyNordea
Tight fiscal policy by way of spending cuts and tax increases is one of the key reasons why the Euro area struggles to get out of recession.

A Greek bond raidalphaville / FT
We are not quite sure what is going on here. Japonica Partners, a self-styled “entrepreneurial co-investment firm” based in Providence, Rhode Island, has launched a tender offer for almost 10 per cent of all Greek government bonds in circulation. It’s ready to buy paper worth €2.9bn at par, paying a minimum of 45 per cent of face value.

The EU has found a compassionate sideTradingFloor
Nick Beecroft: The EU seems finally to have got it. 'Austerity Infinite' was only ever going to succeed in taking us to very bad places indeed. At the best (and I am afraid we are going to see this anyway), violent unrest on Southern European streets. At the worst, well, goodness knows where things might have gone; one can certainly envisage desperate populations demanding that their governments take them out of the Euro, and maybe even the EU, as populist rhetoric whipped up anti-German fever.

ECB preview: long words, short actionNordea
We expect no change in rates and nothing new on the ABS programme this time around. Draghi is likely to strike a dovish tone to support sentiment and confidence, probably stressing recent key figure improvements and keeping the option of negative rates on the table.

On SeptemberTim Duy’s Fed Watch
As always, the data will drive the Fed's next move.  My expectation is that data evolves in such a way that policy will shift in September.  I think there is currently a bias toward ending QE, so I anticipate a willingness of policymakers to focus on stronger numbers and downplay the importance of weaker numbers

Vientikysyntä yhä alamaissaEK
Viennin heikkous jatkui alkuvuodesta, sillä Suomen tavaravienti väheni maaliskuussa 12 vuoden takaisesta. Ensimmäisen vuosineljänneksen aikana vienti supistui vuositasolla neljä prosenttia. Kemianteollisuus ja etenkin öljytuotteet ovat tällä hetkellä viennin valopilkku. Useimmilla muilla aloilla vientikehitys on vaimeaa.

Näin Kreikka-vakuuksien sopimusmiina laukeaaJan Hurri / TalSa
Valtiovarainministeriö vahvistaa, että Kreikka-vakuudet eivät turvaa Suomea Kreikan hätäluottojen huojennuksista koituvilta tappioilta. Velka-armahdus on kuitenkin VM:n mukaan kuvitteellinen tilanne, jonka Suomi voi lisäksi estää. Valuuttarahasto IMF on eri mieltä: sen mukaan Kreikan velka-armahdukset eivät ole kuvitelmaa vaan välttämättömiä. Jos euromaat noudattavat IMF:n neuvoa, Suomen sopimusmiina laukeaa.
