Too early to assess capital needs in Commerzbank merger: Deutsche Bank

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Deutsche Bank (DE:DBKGn) on Thursday said it was too early to assess the need for capital if it were to merge with Commerzbank (DE:CBKG).

Deutsche made the statement after the Financial Times reported that Deutsche was discussing raising as much as 10 billion euro ($11.22 billion) in fresh equity as part of merger discussions.
