As if the Greek situation wasn’t confusing enough, the protagonists keep adding ferrets to the sack. Rumors suggest the Greek government might be trying to come up with a last-minute deal to stave off default on its International Monetary Fund debt today. It still isn’t clear what creditor proposals Greeks will be voting on in the coming referendum. Meanwhile, have the country’s eurozone partners given up on Greece or not?

Daily ShotTF
Amid a Greek default becoming increasingly likely, Greek government bond yields are strongly up while Greek equities fell heavily. However, although equity prices elsewhere dropped as well, Greece is fairly isolated in its crisis.

FX UpdateTF
As Greece is headed for defaulting on its payment to the IMF today, the market is confused on what to do with the euro, as yesterday’s action saw fresh shorts immediately squeezed out of their positions and EURUSD is back to where it was trading ahead of this weekend.

From the FloorTF
Shanghai markets might give traders whiplash, but the steady hand of the People's Bank of China is always poised to provide relief. Not so in Europe, however, where the breakdown of talks between Greece and its creditors has left investors struggling to find safe havens.
