After mixed
PMI figures investors turned their attention to Eurogroup Meeting discussing Greek situation. It seems that both sides are testing each other patience waiting for now of them to back up and admit defeat. What is quite sure is that Greece deal is looking unlikely by tonight. Along with the meeting
German magazine Spiegel published that ECB officials are preparing for Greek exit from Eurozone.
The International Monetary Fund ( IMF ) holds a Greek exit from the monetary union for the rest of the euro zone manageable. The Europeans had pulled up in recent years firewalls that may prevent skipping the crisis to other countries, according to Washington. For a Greece leaving the euro zone would be related to the IMF, with significantly higher costs than if the country would be free to pursue further reform.
Euro was pushed down during today's session and is currently being traded few points above 1.1280 area. We can expect support around 1.1270 and 1.1250 in extension. Later today, US Manufacturing PMI figures are scheduled for a release.
