A bit of overnight news on Greece as we gear up for the Asian trading day:
Greek government spokesman Gabriel Sakellaridis at a press briefing:
Said Greece was close to a bailout deal and had no need for capital controls
- "Such scenarios lack any foundation whatsoever, are malignant and are used in a completely irresponsible fashion
- The possibility of us having capital controls, or any other development in the banking system, quite simply put, does not exist."
