Monday's Headlines: European banks set to announce global job cuts including here

Investment banks in Europe are likely to announce huge job cuts when second quarter earnings season begins across the Atlantic this week, the Financial Times reports.

UBS is expected announce 5,000 job cuts, while Credit Suisse and Barclays will also likely reduce their staff. The cuts are not surprising considering recent declines in trading revenue and worries about banks' exposure to the European debt crisis.

"Analysts also expect many European banks to reveal significant write-downs on their Greek sovereign debt holdings," the Financial Times writes.
