Greetings one and all

I hope you had a good week-end as the Greek tragedy continues to play out with the cast yet to take a curtain call. Little point in playing the guessing game til we have the/ more facts

As for the crushing defeat of Australia in the first Ashes Test well it's not over til the scoreboard says we've won two more. Bring on Lords on Thursday where I'll be camped in the pavilion for duration as always

Data wise today it's very thin with nothing of note to trouble the scorers but there's the US Federal Budget balance at 18.00 GMT

You can find our daily calendar and look at what's on the horizon here

As always I wish you a good session and week ahead
