• Greece

6 am in Greece and Venizelos is about to board a plane to Brussels. According to The Guardian a deal was going to be done for sure before his take off. You know - any minute now... The Guardian was wrong. From Bloomberg:

• VENIZELOS SAYS TIME OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL
• VENIZELOS SAYS STILL ISSUES THAT MUST BE DETERMINED
• VENIZELOS SAYS ALL ISSUES AGREED EXCEPT FOR ONE

And here it is:

• VENIZELOS SAYS HOPES EUROGROUP WILL TAKE POSITIVE DECISION

Because hope is just so much more efficient than prayer when it comes to strategic planning for one's insolvent population.
That's it.
