THE MAJOR news of the week on the financial scene is likely to emerge from the investment banks. Lehmans, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley all report quarterly figures and the markets are expecting much good news.

Of as much concern to the Government at least will be the EU summit on Thursday and Friday when Taoiseach Brian Cowen will be expected to explain the Irish rejection of the Lisbon Treaty to his European counterparts.
