Euro dropped after Greece failed to come up to an agreement with its lenders. The Eurogroup refused to extend the country's financial aid program without a clear reform program. This might lead Greece to a default on its €1.6 billion payment to the IMF due June the 30th. This might result in the country's exit from the euro zone. This weekend Greece's government announced a referendum on the agreement with creditors. The referendum will be held on July the 5th. Meanwhile daily withdrawals were limited to 60 euros. It is prohibited to transfer money abroad.
The yen received safe-haven support amid Greece crisis. However the currency was slightly weighed by weak industrial production data. The country's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry reported that industrial production fell by -2.2% m/m and -4.0% y/y in May.
Also today Bank of Japan Governor Kuroda said that the central bank remained committed to achieving the 2% inflation target. At the same time he noted that global economic uncertainty creates risks for the timing of this target.
