Morning roundup: Banks seal foreclosure deal

Here's a look at this morning's banking and finance news:

• The big story today is banks' long-anticipated foreclosure settlement with state attorneys general, set to be announced this morning. The Wall Street Journal details four key players in the multibillion-dollar deal.
• Meanwhile, federal regulators plan to warn big banks - including Bank of America - that they intend to sue them over other mortgage-related actions, a sign that banks' mortgage woes aren't yet behind them, people familiar with the situation told the Journal.
  
• Wall Street firms are making bets on troubled securities, a signal that some are anticipating a rebound, the New York Times reports.
• Stock futures rose this morning as Greek politicians reached an austerity deal and U.S. jobless claims fell, Bloomberg reports.
• But it's too early to assume markets have shifted to a long-term bullish trading environment, CNBC says.
