LONDON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Following is the view from Reuters

C BANKERS & ECOFIN

Hot on the heels of the G20 we have the Global Economy
Meeting of central bankers in Basel on Sunday/Monday, with
doorstepping on Sunday a news conference led by ECB chief
Trichet on Monday. Euro group and ECOFIN meetings of finance
ministers on Monday/Tuesday will also focus on the outcome of
the G20 and the European Commission's recent major growth and
deficit forecasts. Greece will probably emerge as the bad boy of
Europe again. (andrew.torchia@reuters.com)

KRAFT/CADBURY

With the put up or shut up deadline set for Monday at 1700
GMT, we are on alert from for any whiff of an announcement from
Kraft (KFT.N) and any sign of an 11th hour competing bid. Part
of any offer will be valuation with analysts now uncertain
whether Cadbury (CBRY.L) would fetch more than 8 pounds a share
(chris.wickham@reuters.com)

Q3 BANK RESULTS

HSBC (HSBA.L), Barclays (BARC.L), Unicredit (CRDI.MI), and
Credit Agricole (CAGR.PA) - underlying investment bank
performance in focus after weak RBS showing. Bonuses and asset
sales still hot themes and geographical exposure - HSBC to Asia,
Unicredit to eastern and central Europe.
(chris.wickham@reuters.com)

Q3 GDP

Flash euro zone Q3 GDP data (preceded by German and French
releases) will help shape expectations of when the ECB will
begin to withdraw excess liquidity. Expected to be relatively
strong (about 2 pct annualised or 0.5 pct q/q). Also expected to
be a better reflection of improving PMIs than UK GDP was. Such
considerations are key drivers of euro/sterling and the
gilt/Bund spread which has widened to close to its year highest.
All the more so given the BOE Inflation Report next week will
show the UK central bank's view on the mid-term inflation
outlook, the basis on which it decided to expand its QE
programme, and just how long it expects the economy to require
its support.

Italy Tuesday, Euro Zone Friday

MORE FROM GOLD?

Markets still gunning for record highs, this time with the
added impetus of Central Banks in emerging Asian and Central
American markets becoming possible buyers of the precious metal.
Not to be outdone, industrial metals including platinum,
palladium and rhodium are vying for new multi-month highs
spurred on by hopes of a nascent recovery in the auto sector.

REUTERS HEALTH SUMMIT

A dozen Reuters reporters cover speakers from the leading
healthcare companies, including Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, Merck,
Novartis, AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly, plus top
insurers and the commissioner of the Food and Drug
Administration - Nov 9-12. (chris.wickham@reuters.com)

AHMADINEJAD, KARZAI, BASHIR, ASSAD AT OIC SUMMIT

Organization of the Islamic Conference summit in Istanbul
sees heads of state and government arrive Nov 8 and get down to
business Nov 9. Event likely to be overshadowed by the presence
of Iran's Ahmadinejad and Sudan's Bashir. Syria's Assad,
Palestinian PM Fayyad, Yemen's President Saleh as well as heads
of state of Qatar, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Bangladesh and Jordan
will also attend. Saudi Arabia's delegation will be headed by
the foreign minister. The summit is billed as an economic and
commercial summit of the OIC, but obviously the story will focus
on Ahmadinejad/Iran/West, Bashir/ICC/Darfur,
Saleh/Yemen/relations with Saudi and instability,
Palestinian/Arab peace process with Israel.

RUSSIA STATE OF THE NATION

President Dmitry Medvedev will give annual state of nation
address on November 11 or 12 (12 more likely). He may use the
annual setpiece to announce new measures but more likely to
highlight the extent to which true power lies with Vladimir
Putin.

** AvtoVaz restructuring story also in focus this week

** Rusal debt deal expected Nov 12

CLIMATE

After Barcelona talks delivered zero progress towards a
legally binding deal, it is likely the most we can expect from
Copenhagen is a politically binding deal and as much as year to
to sort out the legal niceties. World leaders will attend the
Dec talks to try to add impetus. See the Road to Copenhagen
Take-a-Look. [ID:nLL527527] (janet.mcbride@reuters.com)

END OF THE WALL

Clinton, Medvedev, Sarkozy and Brown among the many who will
join Merkel on Monday evening to commemorate 20 years since the
opening of the Berlin Wall. France holds its own Berlin Wall
celebrations on Monday evening with a party in the central Place
de la Concorde. Then on Nov. 11, for the first time, a German
chancellor has been invited to WW1 armistice day celebrations at
the Arc de Triomphe, in a sign the French are seeking to
revitalise their ties with Germany, hoping that together they
can dominate the European Union post Lisbon.
