No news is good news for now
蓛 The relative stability in asset markets largely reflects the lack of any real news on
the key risks in Greece and the peripheral euro area. The event calendar in

Together with a downward revision to GDP growth to 1.9% q/q (saar), in line with
our forecast (Full Story), these number threaten the US growth outlook. In addition,
jobless claims rose mod
