EUR/USD: Dominated By Tsipras' Greece Reforms Speculations by Credit Agricole
“With Greece having lost its EU funding lifeline and public unrest growing, speculation of a possible Syriza cave-in ahead of Sunday’s scheduled referendum could dominate EUR/USD trading today. [...] While Sunday’s referendum may still go ahead, EUR/USD risks appear biased - today at least - toward it being avoided.â€
The referendum in Greece: Which implications? by BNP Paribas
“The Greeks will have to pronounce themselves on measures and reforms submitted by the Commission, the IMF and the ECB, in return for an extended financial support. [...] In a case of a “no†vote and if an exit from the Eurozone were nevertheless to happen, the impact on the Greek economy would be drastic but more limited for the Eurozone.â€
