BUZZ-I-banks: over to Europe

** With major US investment banks' quarterly results out of the way focus shifts to European peers which will report Q2 results over the next 10 days

** Broad trends seen among US banks -- weak to sluggish FICC and IB revenue offsetting strong equities revenue -- expected to repeat in Europe, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS-PB - news) says

** 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

** The UK bank remains Goldman's best idea among European IBs while "neutral" rated Deutsche is its least preferred (RM (LSE: RM.L - news) : vikram.subhedar.thomsonreuters.com@reuters.net)
