The euro traded mixed against the U.S. dollar on the uncertainty over the debt talks between Greece and its creditors.

Athens and its lenders failed to reach a deal on tax, pension reform and VAT.

Meanwhile, the economic data from the Eurozone was soft. German Gfk consumer confidence index fell to 10.1 in July from 10.2 in June. Analysts had expected the index to remain unchanged at 10.2.
The decrease was driven by declines in economic expectations and the willingness to buy. The previously unsuccessful attempts to find a solution to the debt crisis in Greece and a possible Greek default also weighed on the index.
