0656 GMT [Dow Jones] Results of the much anticipated bank stress tests in Europe are due Friday and Barclays Capital says the outcome may be an anti-climax, with leaks likely over the next few days. "It is also quite likely that plans for recapitalisations will start to be made public in the coming days. In any case, we would not expect the stress tests to be as big a catalyst as they were in the US, because the starting point is quite different," Barclays says.
