It looks
like Greece and China are solved. But for how long? The
Greek government presented its creditors a plan they’ll find hard to refuse,
given how close it is to their previous demands. Meanwhile, the Chinese
government’s regulatory intervention spurred a dramatic two-day rally in its
beleaguered shares.

A sigh of
relief swept over financial markets shortly before the clock struck midnight in Brussels last night when Greece met its deadline to submit a
detailed proposal for reforms that would persuade its creditors to release
bailout funds and avert a Grexit. Renewed strength in Asian equity markets also
helped keep momentum upbeat

Also the

still be sealed and if not the week after will become even more interesting.

the Eurogroup and the Greek parliament still need to have their say. In China, Shanghai continued its government-aided
