Greece agreed on working on a new reform plan to prevent the country from bankruptcy. European Parliament President Martin Schulz said that Greece's financial situation is dangerous. The FED's statement on Wednesday lends further support as FED chair Yellen indicated that rates will rise at a slower pace - although dropping the word 'patient' from the minutes - predicting lower economic growth and inflation.
