With no major data releases from Eurozone, traders are still focused on development between Greece and its international lenders. Presently, talks between the Greek government and its international creditors have entered a “crucial phase,” as Athens rapidly runs out of cash and as its current bailout is set to end in late June, with hefty debt repayments coming up in July and August. But a so-called Grexit — shorthand for Greece leaving the currency union — isn’t the only possible ending to the Greek debt drama.
UBS brings four possible scenarios ranging from Greece and its lenders agreeing on a reform program, 7.2 billion euros’ ($8 billion) worth of bailout funds are unlocked and a Grexit and default are avoided, to to IOU’s becoming parallel currency, with Greece eventually defaulting and Grexit materializing. Other scenarios include Greek default, but stay in the Eurozone or Greek default and quick leave of the Eurozone.
