Hilsenrath’s Take: Greece’s Debt Restructuring, Like Others, Is No Morality Tale * Big U.S. Banks Refile ‘Living Wills’ * ECB’s Nowotny: If Greece Misses Payment, Funds Will Be Cut Off * Muted Response to Greece Reflects Change in Markets * Chinese Share Price Rescue Comes at a Price

Daily MacroWSJ
Chinese shares are still falling and the Greek crisis continues to rumble. So far Greece has captured the bigger headlines. But European equity and sovereign bond market resilience suggest that Greece’s problems are likely to remain contained. China, though, is a more substantial concern for global investors. The immediate focus is on Chinese officials’ seeming inability to halt the relentless slide in domestic share prices. More worrying perhaps is the slide in iron ore and copper prices, which don’t bode well for what’s going on in the Chinese economy more generally. The impact has already spread to Australia, whose currency is hitting six-year lows against the dollar, limiting the Australian central bank’s policy options.

Markets are in the red again and it remains to be seen whether today's EU summit will bring the union and Greece a step closer to a solution to the small southern European state's financial crisis. In the meantime, Germany's delivered another raft of solid economic data again.

Daily FX CommentMarc Chandler
Time Keeps on Ticking

Daily ShotTF
In Greece things are not getting easier. The ECB has increased margin requirements for the ELA collateral which includes Greek government bonds and bank bonds guaranteed by the government - one bankrupt entity guaranteeing another.
