This weekend’s negotiations between Greece and its creditors look
like the real zero hour for the country as the IMF payment deadline looms next
Tuesday. Deal or no deal (or is there a third option: bridge financing and
another month of talks)?
After the second attempt inside 24 hours to solve the
Greek debt crisis failed, the Eurozone's finance ministers will regroup on
Saturday for one final attempt. Germany's Angela Merkel says
this meeting will be decisive and the deadline for a deal is Monday morning
before markets open. Ahead of that moment, investors and traders are unwilling
to commit to anything.
