lots from the us next week

Just an FYI - hope the reports are good in the US:

2Qearnings reporting season is up and running. With limited economic data out, the market will be closely scrutinizing the numbers. So far so good for financials. In total, close to 650 companies will report, of which some of the most notable are reporting in the week ahead – Bank of America, takeover target Yahoo!, Apple, ConocoPhillips and Boeing. On economics - we have leading indicators early in the week, Fed’s Beige Book, Existing Home Sales, weekly jobless claims mid week and new home sales on Friday. Microsoft also conducts their financial analysts meeting on Wednesday.
