International Monetary Fund claimed it isn't
considering providing a bailout package either for Italy or Japan. IMF denied
presence of such talks during the meeting of Group of Seven. Earlier Italian "La

boost investors' confidence. Marc Chandler, strategist at Brown Brothers
Harriman & Co., suggests IMF does not have such resources.
