Greece votes “No” by a substantial margin

     Greece votes “No” by a substantial margin

    PM Tsipras will now try to negotiate, but creditors will have to make an even harsher offer than before as the country’s economy has deteriorated
    Since voters didn’t approve the previous offer, he can’t accept a harsher one
    He may have painted himself into a policy corner with only Grexit as the way out

     ECB likely to stay on hold while politicians talk

    Eurozone summit to be held on Tuesday
    ECB will probably keep its emergency funding to Greece stable while politicians talk
    Eventually Greece will either capitulate or to go back to the drachma. I think drachma.

     Market isn’t expecting any big trouble; €/$ is still in same range

    Most sensitive pairs: EM or commodity currencies, XXX/JPY

     Today:
    Eurozone: German factory orders for May
    Canada: Ivey PMI could bring a positive surprise
    US: Labor market conditions index for June

     This week:

    Tuesday:  RBA meeting; expected to stay on hold. UK IP for May
    Wednesday:  Minutes of June FOMC meeting
    Thursday: China CPI & PPI; BoE policy meeting
