Daily MacroWSJ
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.

Morning MarketsTF
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

Daily FX CommentMarc Chandler
Week Ending on a Constructive Note

Daily ShotTF
Also the weekend after the Greek referendum will be a very interesting one. A deal could still be sealed and if not the week after will become even more interesting.

From the FloorTF
Thursday saw Greece submit a proposal that was very close in its details to previous offerings from its creditors. The news boosted markets, but the Eurogroup and the Greek parliament still need to have their say. In China, Shanghai continued its government-aided rally, sending equities higher as risk-on sentiment took hold.
