Daily MacroWSJ
Eurozone equities pressed ahead in early trade as Greece moved toward a normalization of its economic situation now that bailout funds are flowing to the economy again. Some of the euphoria in China, on the other hand, has been tempered by Beijing’s moves to reduce systemic financial risks by taking tighter control of peer-to-peer lending. Longer term, though, risks remain. The Chinese economy continues to weaken. Greece isn’t solved. The eurozone continues to suffer substantial imbalances, caused in no small part by Germany’s vast current account surplus.

Precious metals took a big hit overnight with gold hitting a five-year low as the US dollar continued its ascent. Meanwhile, Greek banks are due to reopen today but markets paid little attention to weekend news that chancellor Angela Merkel would be prepared to discuss easier debt repayment terms for the beleaguered country.

Daily FX CommentMarc Chandler
The US dollar is narrowly mixed as over-extended technicals, and the lack of fresh developments, keep the bulls at bay.

Daily ShotTF
Commodities are trending lower across the board, with precious and industrial metals as well as crude oil feeling the pinch.

FX UpdateTF
A very sparsely populated US economic calendar this week means it will be up to general sentiment in the currency market and risk appetite to drive the USD action this week. Plenty of subplots elsewhere this week, with RBA minutes on tap tonight.

From the FloorTF
A dramatic China selloff sends gold into a massive tailspin to hit a five-year low during the Asian session and leave its reputation as a safe-haven in tatters.
