FXStreet (Bali) - EUR/USD has jumped over 50 pips in the Asian session, breaking above the 1.13 handle to prints its highest at 1.1333 following a report from Reuters that Greece might be more flexible on its demands, so that a much-needed compromise with its international creditors is sealed.
Merkel: Greece running out of time
German Chancellor Angela Merkel turned its tone more vocal towards Greece, warning in the G7 meetings that Greece is running out of time to reach a deal. The German Chancellor is scheduled to meet Tsipras along with French President Francois Hollande on Wednesday, in yet another showdown that should provide some juicy headlines injecting two-way volatility in the Euro.
