greek9_zpsxgllfadc.png


"Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is meeting heads of the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund on Monday ahead of a summit of Euro zone leaders later in the day aimed at reaching a deal over debt talks" - Reuters.

"The prime minister presented the three leaders Greece's proposal for a mutually beneficial agreement that will give a definitive solution and not a postponement of addressing the problem" - Greece's government.

“Either Greece declares itself willing for a viable solution or the country must leave the euro. The euro zone could cope with the consequences of a Greek exit” - Hans Michelbach.

“Workers, the unemployed, young people, the Greek people and the rest of the peoples of Europe will send a loud message of resistance to the alleged one-way path of austerity, resistance to the blackmail and scare-mongering” - Syriza party.

Globally investors are awaiting the outcome of the EU summit and a relief rally in the time of crisis. There seems to be some optimism that a last minute solution will be reached. It is a decision day for Greek PM whether he chooses to accept the deal offered by its European creditors and stay in the Euro.

The economy of Greece is in trouble since 2010 when the bailout program started as its economy has declined by quarter while unemployment is at 26 percent.

Eurozone leaders hopeful of deal in next 48 hours

greek22_zpsnttbdrpm.png


Eurozone leaders have welcomed new proposals for Greek reforms with hopes that a deal can be struck within 48hrs to avoid a Greek default and keep it in the Euro.

Eurozone leaders held an emergency summit in Brussels where they discussed the New Greek proposal which made a significant concession on pension cuts. They said the new proposal looks promising and a deal could be reached in the coming days.

"We have a huge amount of work to do in the next 48 hours. We are not at all at the end of the route" - IMF chief Christine Lagarde.

"The proposals offered by Greece today constitute some progress. However, it became clear during our discussions that there is a lot of work to be done and time is short." - German Chancellor Angela Merkel

“In the case of a wide-ranging and complex event like a Greek default, we fear that market players may not know what they do not know about systemic consequences. Things may break that we do not expect to fail, they may fracture in unexpected ways, and linkages that we never suspected may become both apparent and important" - Carl Weinberg, High Frequency Economics.

"Several thousand pro-European Greeks staged a demonstration in favor of staying in the euro on Monday in central Athens, a day after thousands of leftists had rallied to protest against a new round of cuts" - Reuters.

Crude Oil is trading lower at $60.19 ahead of the weekly report on US stock of Crude and refined products.

Gold is trading lower in the Europe at 1183.33, while Silver is weak at 15.99

Markets Focus on Greek Debt Deal

greek30_zpso2pcqevw.png


Greece's PM Alexis Tsipras is in Brussels for crucial talks with its European creditors after it submitted a new proposal to avoid a default and remain part of the Euro.

Greek PM will be meeting Christine Lagarde - head of International Monetary Fund, Mario Draghi - president of European Central Bank, Jeroen Dijsselbloem - Dutch finance minister over issues of tax rises and spending cuts so that he can secure the much needed bailout funds for his country.

Eurozone finance ministers are meeting in Brussels today to discuss the new proposal submitted by the Greece. If the proposal is accepted Greece will get its €7.2bn financial aid and will be able to meet its payment of €1.6bn by June 30.

The funds that are being withdrawn from the Greek banks are in the range of €1 billion a day as investors are worried about a Greek default and the possibility of the Drachma coming back into the nation.

The IMF is unlikely to get back all its money on time as the Greek's long term debt sustainability is in question and whether or not the country will be fully able to recover from its financial problems.

The German chancellor, Angela Merkel is under pressure to hold on the 19 nations that form a part of the Eurozone. The chances are that a deal will be struck and give Greece a relief time but the problems in the Euro are far from over.

“The Euro group has urged the institutions to work closely together with the Greek authorities to start immediately to go into the proposals, getting all the specifics and doing the calculations on them … and all of these with a view if possible to reach an agreement later this week, using the Greek proposals as basis for that” - Euro group President Jeroen Dijsselbloem.

In Germany Business confidence fell for the month of June. The IFO Business climate Index dropped to 107.4 on concerns over slow growth.

Bank of Japan board members are concerned about weak consumer price gains in Tokyo. BOJ is most likely to reach its target of 2% Inflation in the first half of 2016.

"Exports had shown signs of a pick-up on the back of improvement in external demand and of the effects of the euro's depreciation. Corporate results had been improving, partly due to the depreciation of the euro, and business sentiment had also shown movements toward a pick-up" - Bank of Japan minutes.

In US Core Durable Goods Orders rose by 0.5% in May, while total orders for durable goods plunged by 1.8% for the month of May.

Crude Oil is trading higher at $61.57 on expectations for a weekly decline in US crude supplies.

Gold is trading lower in the Europe at 1179.51, while Silver is weak at 15.91

Markets run out of steam as Greek talks stall again

greek8_zpsesqgzzjq.png


European stock markets closed lower on Wednesday after Alexis Tsipras, Greece’s prime minister, failed to reach a deal with its creditors in Brussels to secure the much needed €7.2bn bailout funds.

FTSE, DAX, CAC40, IBEX35 all ended the day in red as a Greek official told reporters that the governments proposed measures had not been accepted by its international creditors.

Greece and its European creditors now have less than four hours to reach some agreement, before Eurozone finance ministers resume their own meeting today.

If Greece will fall out of the Eurozone, German Chancellor Angela Merkel would suffer the blow. As the de facto leader of the European Union she is responsible for deciding whether the cost of 240 billion euros is justified for keeping Greece in the Eurozone.

“The chancellor is completely aware of the situation and the consequences, both politically speaking and economically speaking, of a Grexit. I think the Germans now will push with us to find a compromise in the coming days if the Greeks decide to accelerate and work for a credible package" - Emmanuel Macron, French economy minister.

Greece's ruling party has condemned the latest proposals from its European creditors as being blackmail over a bailout deal.

"The lenders' demand to bring annihilating measures back to the table shows that the blackmail against Greece is reaching a climax." - Syriza party's spokesman.

"There's a sense Greek negotiations will extend through the end of the month and markets appear to believe there'll eventually be an accord. An agreement may spur buying momentarily, but the euro will probably be sold as focus shifts to the dollar" - Yasuhiro Kaizaki, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank.

"The previously unsuccessful attempts to find a solution to the debt crisis in Greece as well as the country's impending default now appear to be dampening German consumers' economic outlook, this raises doubts in consumers' minds, because the consequences of Greece's departure cannot be predicted at the moment" - GfK market research group.

In Germany Business Confidence hit a 4 month low in June. The Business climate Index declined to 107.4 according to the German research institute.

In US the economy contracted in the Q1 due to bad weather, a strong US dollar as US GDP declined to 0.2% annualized rate according to the Commerce Department.

Crude Oil is trading lower at $60.28 after a report showed weekly drop in US crude stockpiles.

Gold is trading lower in the Europe at 1175.81, while Silver is weak at 15.86

Greek crisis extends into weekend before Sunday's Final Deadline

greek40_zpsqqifcmns.png


Greece was unable to close a deal with its European creditors on Thursday, as the crisis extends into weekend before the final deadline on Sunday to avoid a default.

Euro zone finance ministers finished their third round of meeting in a week without an agreement as Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras tries to convince its European creditors and secure the much needed bailout funds for his country.

"The institutions informed us that on a number of issues there is still a wide gap with the Greek authorities. In the meantime, the door is still open for the Greek authorities to accept the proposals tabled by the institutions" - Euro group chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem.

"The climate is that either by Saturday Greece accepts or on Saturday there will be a discussion about Plan B" - Euro zone official.

"The institutions are going to look again at the two documents - our documents and their own. There will be discussions with the Greek government and we'll continue until we find a solution” - Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis.

"Certain institutions insist in not accepting equivalent measures suggested by the Greek government. The non-acceptance of equivalent measures has never happened before. Neither in Ireland nor in Portugal." - Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

Greek's International creditors have rejected the government's plan to end its financial crisis, but they have submitted counterproposals. Time is running out and strong measures would be needed to avoid a default and prevent Greek banks from collapsing thereby limiting any market contagion to other euro area countries.

The new proposal submitted by Greece aims to make €8bn in savings, by new taxes on the wealthy and businesses, VAT increases and a cut in defense spending. But in counter-proposals its European creditors have called for further measures on pensions, higher value added tax for restaurants, and for defense expenditure to be slashed by € 400 million.

"I want to stress that it's not just a matter of Greece, it's a matter of the future of Europe. What's happening now in Greece is going to happen tomorrow in other countries" - Dimmitris Kammenos.

“Without a substantial form of debt relief, which looks unlikely in an initial agreement, Greece’s debt ratio will remain unsustainably high and the crisis will continue.” - Jonathan Loynes, Capital Economics.

In Germany GfK consumer sentiment index declined to 10.1 going into July following a decline in German business morale in June. GfK said that Greece's default and exit from the currency bloc, which had seemed a remote possibility, now appears to be quite realistic.

New Zealand logged a Trade surplus of NZ$350 million for the month of May far surpassing analysts’ expectations. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand is unhappy with New Zealand Dollar' strength as the Kiwi Dollar slid to the lowest level in five years versus the US Dollar.

In UK Retail sales growth slowed for the month of June. The British retail sales balance dropped to +29 this month, down from +51 in May.

In US Initial Jobless Claims rose to 271K last week according to the US Department of Labor.

Crude Oil is trading lower at $59.58 as trader’s eye Greece debt talks.

Gold is trading lower in the Europe at 1173.53, while Silver is weak at 15.83

Greece Crisis Intensifies as Global Stock Markets Slide

Greek43_zpsdxgro7bn.png


Greece debt crisis has intensified after the European Central Bank decided not to extend emergency funding. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has announced a referendum to vote on whether to accept the bailout measures offered by its European creditors on July5.

Greek Banks have been closed and capital controls have been imposed to prevent financial chaos following the breakdown of talks with its European creditors.

Stock markets in Europe and Asia witnessed falls with London's FTSE 100 index down by nearly 2%. In Asia Japan's Nikkei fell nearly 3% in the early trading session.

Euro opened with a gap of more than 200 pips touching a low of 1.0953 in the early Asian trading session.

Bond yields for Italy, Spain and Portugal rose sharply, while German bond yields fell in the time of crisis.

In Greece Banks will remain closed till 6th of July and cash withdrawals are limited to €60 in a day. The Athens stock exchange will also remain closed.

“Following the decision by the Greek authorities to hold a referendum and the non-prolongation of the EU adjustment programme for Greece, the governing council declared it will work closely with the Bank of Greece to maintain financial stability” - ECB.

“We continue to work closely with the Bank of Greece and we strongly endorse the commitment of member states in pledging to take action to address the fragilities of euro area economies” - ECB President, Mario Draghi.

"While the imposed restrictive measures appear necessary and proportionate at this time, the free movement of capital will however need to be reinstated as soon as possible in the interest of the Greek economy, the Eurozone, and the European Union's single market as a whole" - European Commission.

After the failure of the debt talks on Friday and the decision of the European Central Bank to freeze emergency loans for Greek banks has led to capital controls. This has increased the risks of a Greek exit from the Euro in the coming times.

After the Eurozone finance ministers on Saturday turned down a request for an extension of the Tuesday payment to the IMF Grexit is possible. “Grexit” is short for the possibility of Greece exiting the European Union and moving away from the Euro.

Greece expected to Default on Its Payment to the IMF today

imf_zps1q8fg1ii.png


Greece is expected to default on its payment of €1.6bn to the IMF today. The 5 year Greece bailout program will come to an end today by 6pm Washington time.

Meanwhile Greek banks remain closed as Greece is almost out of money after the European Central Bank turned down a request from the Bank of Greece for €6bn in emergency funds.

Greece has threatened to seek a court injunction against the EU institutions, both to block the country's expulsion from the euro and to halt asphyxiation of the banking system - Telegraph.

“The Greek government will make use of all our legal rights. We are taking advice and will certainly consider an injunction at the European Court of Justice. The EU treaties make no provision for euro exit and we refuse to accept it. Our membership is not negotiable" - Greek Finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis.

Greek PM Alexis Tsipras has called the referendum over the weekend on July 5, as Euro hits a 7 year low against the British pound.

“The greater the number of no [votes], the greater the weapon the government will have to relaunch negotiations. Greece never left the negotiating table, it is still at the negotiating table” - Greek prime minister, Alexis Tsipras.

“I do see the potential for disruptions that could affect the European economic outlook and global financial markets. To the extent that there are impacts on the euro-area economy or on global financial markets, there would undoubtedly be spillovers to the United States that would affect our outlook as well” - Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has urged voters to reject the demands of its European creditors.

"We ask you to reject it with all the might of your soul, with the greatest margin possible. The greater the participation and the rejection of this deal, the greater the possibility will be to restart the negotiations to set a course of logic and sustainability" - Greek PM.

Greek Banks remain closed with capital controls in place so that customers can only withdraw a maximum of 60 euros in a day. After ECB refused further funding Greek banks had no choice.

Greece has to repay 1.6billion euros to the IMF today and is likely to default on its payment today. Greece owes 3.5 billion euros to the ECB on July20. The current Greek bailout financed by ECB, IMF and the European Commission also expires today.

Crude Oil is trading lower at $58.86 on Greek default concerns.

Greece defaults on $1.7 billion IMF payment

91kphy.jpg


Greece has defaulted on its payment to the IMF on June 30 and became the first developed nation to do so. Greece is now into a deeper recession as its bailout program has expired and now it is cut off from the access to IMF resources. International Monetary Fund in an organization that helps the world economy remains stable.

"I confirm that the about EUR 1.5 billion due by Greece to the IMF June 30 has not been received. We have informed our Executive Board that Greece is now in arrears and can only receive IMF financing once the arrears are cleared" - Director of Communications, IMF.

The ECB's policymaking governing council was to meet in Frankfurt to decide whether to maintain, increase or curtail emergency lending that is keeping Greek banks afloat despite a wave of deposit withdrawals and the state's default. - Reuters.
"Greece was fully committed to service its external debt in a manner that secures the viability of the Greek economy, growth and social cohesion" - Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis.

Greece has received nearly 240 billion euros in two bailouts from the European Union and IMF since the start of the program in 2010.

"What would happen if Greece came out of the euro? There would be a negative message that euro membership is reversible" - Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy.

"Before the planned referendum is carried out, we will not negotiate over anything new" - German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The risks of a default to the IMF forced European Central Bank to limit its emergency loans to Greek banks and Greece’s government was forced to institute capital controls in order to prevent mass exodus of cash out of the country.

"I think Mr. Tsipras screwed up the negotiations, frankly. Because he believed that Europe needs Greece as much as Greece needs Europe, and that is sadly not the case. So now I believe he's in a state of panic because the banks have closed, people are complaining, they were queuing for hours over the weekend to get their cash out" - Miranda Xafa, Centre for International Governance Innovation.

US ISM Manufacturing Index Rises to 53.5 in June

206h4ao.png


Manufacturing expanded in June as the PMI registered 53.5 percent, an increase of 0.7 percentage point over the May reading of 52.8 percent, indicating growth in manufacturing for the 30th consecutive month. A reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting - Institute for Supply Management.

Improvement seen in US manufacturing reflects stronger domestic spending with improving demand abroad. 11 out of 18 manufacturing industries expanded in June, led by makers of furniture and wood products. Producers of oil, metals, plastics and machinery said business contracted.

New orders rose to 56.0 from 55.8. The gauge of prices paid was unchanged at 49.5, compared with expectations of 51.0. June PMI indicates manufacturing activity has begun to recover from the softer demand, output and hiring levels experienced earlier in the year.

Globally falling oil prices have forced energy companies to curtail orders for new equipment and pipelines as their margins were squeezed and rigs were shut down. The stronger dollar made US goods more expensive overseas, which is weighing on sales.

In Eurozone finance ministers have ruled out any further talks on a fresh bailout for Greece until the country holds its referendum on Sunday.

Greek PM Tsipras has written to European leaders and the International Monetary Fund, accepting most of the conditions for the bailout.

"Greece is prepared to accept this staff level agreement subject to the following amendments, additions or clarifications" - Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

Greece is out of money after being cut off from European bailout funds and has defaulted to the IMF. If Greeks will vote for "Yes" a new bailout deal will take weeks and may need a change of government.

"How do you persuade European government to vote for a third bailout when the Greek government has actively campaigned in a referendum against the terms of a second bailout?" - James Nixon.

NZDUSD slid to a 5 year low as the monetary policy divergence New Zealand and the US and the strong US dollar are driving the New Zealand dollar to its lowest since May 2010.

US Non-Farm Payrolls increased by 223k in June

345okut.png


Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 223,000 in June, and the unemployment rate declined to 5.3 percent. Job gains occurred in professional and business services, health care, retail trade, financial activities, and in transportation and warehousing - US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Employment in other major industries, including construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, information, and government, showed little or no change over the month - US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The unemployment rate declined to 5.3% due to a decline in the labor force of 432K as the participation rated declined to 62.6% from 62.9%.

Recent US data suggests that US growth should pick up in the current and coming quarters. The June employment report leaves the door open for a first rate hike in September. The uncertain financial conditions in Greece may affect the timing of the first rate hike.

US Dollar was weaker after the Non-Farm payrolls came out, seen as mildly disappointing by the economists. While the expectations for two rate hikes before the end of the year are cut down, the expectations of a September hike are maintained.
With US holiday on Friday NFP data was released a day earlier, and we are unlikely to see major moves until the opening of the markets on Monday.

Focus is now shifting to Greece as Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has called a referendum on July 5 for Greeks to decide if the country should accept what his government regards as a raw deal offered by its creditors.

On Monday, a larger than usual price gap between the market's close on Friday and the open of the Asian markets is expected.

If the majority of Greeks will vote against the current deal drafted by the IMF, European Commission, and the European Central Bank, it will push the country closer to Grexit.

Meanwhile, European leaders are not ready to negotiate with Athens until the referendum has passed. According to some reports Germany might refuse to negotiate with Greek government post-referendum.

In UK business activity in the services sector outpaced estimates for the month of June. Markit services purchasing managers' index came at 58 for June.

"In UK Growth is looking increasingly unbalanced. The recent weakness of the manufacturing PMI means industrial production looks likely to have declined in the second quarter, leaving the economy once again dependent on the service sector to sustain any growth. June’s rebound is therefore welcome news, but policymakers will want to see further improvements in the data, including signs of a sustainable upturn in pay growth, before feeling comfortable that the UK economy is ready for higher interest rates" - Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit.

Crude Oil is trading lower at $56.52 7.11 after US oil drilling this week increased after 29 weeks of declines.

Gold is trading mildly higher in the Europe at 1168.70, while Silver is weak 15.65
