** Beyond results, strategy will be sharply in focus as 3 major European banks (Credit Suisse (NYSE: CS - news) , Deutsche Bank (Xetra: 514000 - news) and Barclays (LSE: BARC.L - news) ) have seen CEO changes in the past month
** Goldman says announcements on strategy are expected from Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank for Q3/Q4 while Barclays has indicated in media that it may outline measures along with interim results
