* A look at the day ahead from European Economics and Politics Editor Mark John and EMEA Markets Editor Mike Dolan. The views expressed are their own.

LONDON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - With (Other OTC: WWTH - news) the declaration that France is "at war", President Francois Hollande is calling for a global effort to destroy Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, and is preparing the way for tighter security measures at home.

If that sounds familiar, it is because the Paris attacks have become France's 9/11.

Hollande will meet U.S (Other OTC: UBGXF - news) . Secretary of State John Kerry at 0840 GMT in Paris, where the coalition's next steps will be plotted. With one attacker and several accomplices believed to be still on the run, police carried out over 100 raids on addresses around France overnight.

Question marks over possible failures of policing and surveillance are growing; ex-president and 2017 candidate Nicolas Sarkozy has abandoned the national solidarity line that prevailed after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January and is this time overtly blaming Hollande's government for negligence and incompetence.

Greece overnight reached an agreement with lenders on financial reforms early on Tuesday. removing a major obstacle holding up fresh bailout loans. The first step should now be a 2 billion euro aid disbursement plus 10 billion euros in recapitalisation aid for the country's four main banks.

MARKETS (AT 0745 GMT)

Relief at the limited market fallout from Friday's attacks in Paris, stabilisation of oil prices and even rising defence stocks have all fostered some rebound in global equities overnight, and some of last week's heavy losses have been clawed back.

Wall St stocks and most of Asia's main bourses have added more than 1 percent. The move comes independently of any optimism in wider commodity markets, where copper has plummeted to new six-year lows, with zinc and aluminium futures following suit. The CRB hit a new 13-year low last pm before rebounding.

Significantly, this week has done little to dent dollar strength nor the wider interest rate divergence story, where talk of further ECB easing has gone up a gear if anything.

Euro/dollar has dropped to $1.0650 -- its lowest since mid-April (LSE: 0N69.L - news) . The easier euro helped European bourses higher at the open, with gains of about 1 percent mirroring Asia and Wall St.
