WSJ: German politicians should be careful what they wish for. Faced with angry voters, German leaders are understandably anxious to find ways to avoid further bailouts for Greece. But wild talk of restructuring or countries leaving the euro zone-the latter raised again Mon by a member of Germany's FDP, junior partner in the ruling coalition-is dangerous, and not only for Greece.

Germany is right to explore its options, if only to prove how few it has. The country is providing the largest share among euro-zone nations of the funding and guarantees on Europe's bailouts. A Greek exit from the euro-even if it was legally and logistically possible, which is doubtful-would be a disaster for Greece and the euro zone. On FX, EUR/USD offers 1.4380-1.4400, eye 1.4250-more next.WL For the latest updates PRESS CTR + D or visit Stock Market news Today
