News Summary: ECB's Asmussen praises Greek reform effort, deflects talk of need for more aid
GREECING WHEELS: A senior European Central Bank official deflected growing speculation that Greece will require a new financial aid deal.
LONG ROW: Joerg Asmussen, one of the ECB's six executive board members, said it won't be clear for months whether Athens would even qualify for more assistance.
LIGHT IN THE TUNNEL: The easing of Greece's recession in the April-June quarter provided "the first signs of stabilization" and there has been progress in public finances, Asmussen said after a meeting in Athens with Greek Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras.
