End of European support program for Greece, Greek payment to IMF ?

     EUR recovers, leads G10 currencies over the last 24 hours

    Fed funds rate expectations retreat on thoughts that Greek crisis may restrain Fed
    Expectations of a successful  “yes” vote cause some optimism
    Spread between US and German bond yields narrows
    Some investors may be optimistic about the prospects of a Eurozone without Greece

     CAD and NZD were the only G10 currencies to fall vs USD

    Oil prices fell as it started to look more likely that Iran would work out an accord over their nuclear program, paving the way for further exports
    ANZ business confidence index falls to the lowest since March 2011 (immediately after big earthquake in Christchurch) while business activity falls to lowest since June 2012

     Focus today:  End of European support program for Greece, Greek payment to IMF

    What will the IMF’s reaction be when they don’t pay? Stay tuned!

     Today:

    Eurozone: Flash CPI for June; decline likely after yesterday’s fall in German CPI. Eurozone unemployment for June. German retail sales for May, June unemployment
