Did you post the wrong article?  My reading is that Germany is dragging Europe along at 1% due to the strength of its imports.  Did you miss the part where economists state, "Outlook not so good!"

Strange I do not see what you see

 "Germany, Europe's biggest economy, led the way as its economy grew by a very strong 2.2 percent in the second quarter compared to the quarter before as exporters reaped the benefits of a recovery in global demand."

"The point is that if Germany is growing on the back of predominantly export led growth...."

"Outlook not so good!"   Don't see that.  you must have read a different article.

I reread the article and see where you got your impression.  The eurozone countries as a whole grew at a 1% pace taking into consideration that Greece contracted by 1.5% and Spain only grew at a rate of 0.2%.  Nevertheless that 1% growth was greater than the 0.6% growth in the U.S. economy for the same quarter The U.S. economy grew like the French economy.

ICE cuts staff at Chicago Climate Exchange-sources

By Michael Szabo

LONDON, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Market operator Intercontinental Exchange Inc. (ICE.N) is laying off staff at newly acquired U.S. environmental bourse the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), industry sources told Reuters, citing a lack of U.S. action on climate change.

They said the first round of layoffs began on July 23 and, although the total number of jobs to be cut was unknown, one said around 25 employees, or roughly half CCX's headcount at the time of ICE's acquisition, had already been or were being let go.

ICE would not confirm or comment on the layoffs.

Bear Investor Says 'I Have Been Too Bullish'

Quote
"...as the former baby-boomers start to retire this burgeoning cohort will tend to liquidate assets," he explained.

"This only exacerbates the secular bear market for property prices (which have already begun to decline again) as well as the equity market. This means that Bernanke for all his efforts may not be able to prevent the secular valuation bear market fully playing out until rock bottom valuations are reached," Edwards concluded.
