Boeing (BA.N) said on Sunday it was confident of filling the bridge between current and future models of its two most profitable jets, the long-haul 777 and short-range 737, and dismissed plans by rival Airbus to overhaul its own A330 model. Sales chief John Wojick told Reuters he was confident of selling enough of the current 777-300ER, which is sold out until 2017, to fill the gap until a new revamped 777X version enters service in 2020, without having to cut production.

Time for ECB to put money where its mouth is
The European Central Bank will eclipse all else in economic terms this week, following heavy hints that monetary policy will be loosened in a variety of ways.
