Eurozone market calm on Grexit risk

Investors should ask whether mood reflects accurate assessment of any ‘No’ vote contagion

A TV grab shows Greek Prime Minister's address Alexis Tsipras addressing the nation in Athens on July 1, 2015. Nearly one in two Greeks intend to vote 'No' in a weekend referendum on the terms of its bailout, but capital controls are boosting the 'Yes' camp, a poll showed today. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has called on Greeks to vote 'No' in the plebiscite, which will ask voters whether they want to accept the latest deal from Athens' creditors -- a deal he has branded "humiliating".
