Stock indices traded higher despite Greece's debt crisis. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) confirmed that Greece has not repaid €1.538 billion IMF loans. A Greek default would be the first by an advanced economy in the IMF's seven-decade history, putting the country on a par with countries such as Afghanistan, Haiti and Zimbabwe, which also not paid IMF loans on time.

Another Eurogroup meeting has been called for today to discuss the latest proposal from Greece. The Head of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem said that the Eurogroup will discuss the request for a third bailout programme only after the referendum on Sunday. He also warns that new aid programme for Greece may have tougher conditions.

Germany's Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Tuesday that Greece can stay in the Eurozone even if it says "No" to the bailout programme in the referendum on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the economic data from the Eurozone was solid. Eurozone's final manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 52.5 in June from 52.2 in May, in line with a preliminary reading. It was the highest level since April 2014.

The Netherlands was the strongest performer.

Markit's Chief Economist Chris Williamson said that June's PMI was "representing a major improvement compared to the malaise seen at the end of last year".

Germany's final manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 51.9 in June from 51.1 in May, in line with a preliminary reading.

The increase was driven by a rise in output at consumer goods producers and in output in new orders.

"The overall expansions in output and new business were, however, well below levels seen at the start of last year," Markit economist Oliver Kolodseike said.

France's final manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 50.7 in June from 49.4 in May, up from the preliminary reading of 50.5. It was the first reading above 50 since April 2014.

"The French manufacturing sector edged further in the right direction during June, with output and new orders broadly stabilizing. This was reflected in firms' hiring decisions, with the rate of job shedding easing to a marginal pace," Markit economist Jack Kennedy said.

Markit Economics also released its manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the U.K. on Wednesday. The Markit/Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply manufacturing PMI for the U.K. decreased to 51.4 in June from 51.9 in May, missing expectations for a rise to 52.5. It was the lowest level since April 2013.

The decline was driven by declines in output and new orders.

"The UK manufacturing sector had a disappointing second quarter overall. Growth trends in output and new orders were the weakest since the opening quarter of 2013, as a strong sterling exchange rate and subdued demand from mainland Europe offset the continued solidity of the domestic market," Markit's Senior Economist Rob Dobson said.

The Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said on Wednesday that UK banks' direct exposure to Greece is very small. He noted that the economic growth in the U.K. has been solid and the burden of household debt has continued to decline.

May's figure was revised down from 52.0.

Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said on Tuesday that the U.S. consumer demand rebounds and economic growth is improving. But he did not mentioned the timing of interest rate hikes.

Fischer noted that the Fed's monetary policy will depend on the incoming economic data. He pointed out that inflation and employment data will determine the pace of interest rate hikes.

Fed vice chairman expects the U.S. economy to grow at an annual rate of about 2.5% in the second quarter.

The Fed is working to minimize the likelihood of surprises that could result after the release of the Fed's monetary policy, he said.

Rating agency Moody's has upgraded Iceland's sovereign debt rating by a notch to Baa2 after Iceland's government removed capital controls. The outlook is stable.

"The gradual removal of the capital controls and the reduction of the external and economic vulnerabilities posed by the failed banks' estates constitute a significant milestone in Iceland's recovery and represent important upside risks for future growth, public debt reduction and normalization of the financial system," the agency said.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) confirmed that Greece has not repaid €1.538 billion IMF loans. The country can receive further financing from the IMF after the repayment of its loans. IMF Director of Communications Gerry Rice also confirmed that the IMF received Greece's request for an extension of the loan payment deadline.

"I can also confirm that the IMF received a request today from the Greek authorities for an extension of Greece's repayment obligation that fell due today, which will go to the IMF's Executive Board in due course," IMF Director of Communications Gerry Rice said.

The rating agency Fitch Ratings has downgraded Greece's sovereign debt rating by one notch to 'CC' from 'CCC'.

"The breakdown of the negotiations between the Greek government and its creditors has significantly increased the risk that Greece will not be able to honour its debt obligations in the coming months, including bonds held by the private sector. We now view a default on government debt held by private creditors as probable," the agency said.

The Chinese final HSBC manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 49.4 in June from 49.2 in May, down from the preliminary estimate of 49.6.

A reading above the 50 mark indicates expansion, a reading below 50 indicates contraction.

"The final reading of the HSBC China Manufacturing PMI pointed to a further decline in the health of the manufacturing sector in June. This was predominantly driven by the sharpest rate of job shedding across the sector since early-2009, while output also fell slightly on the month," Markit Economics economist Annabel Fiddes said.

Germany's Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said on Tuesday that Greece can stay in the Eurozone even if it says "No" to the bailout programme in the referendum on Sunday. He also said that the European Central Bank would do what is necessary to support the euro.

West Texas Intermediate futures for August delivery dropped to $58.64 (-1.40%). Meanwhile Brent crude for August fell to $62.92 (-1.05%) a barrel. Greece was unable to make its payment to the International Monetary Fund. This default pushed the U.S. dollar up and crude prices down as dollar-denominated oil imports got more expensive.

At the same time crude production rose in both the OPEC and the U.S.. Some analysts believe that OPEC crude oil output advanced to 32.1 million barrels per day vs a target of 30 million bpd. On the whole production by the cartel rose to a three-year high of 31.60 million bpd in June from 31.30 million bpd in May (according to Reuters). In addition to that the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported on Tuesday that the country's crude production rose 9,000 barrels a day to 9.701 million barrels a day in April. Crude inventories rose by 1.9 million barrels in the week to 468.9 million, while they were expected to decline by 2.000 million barrels.

Gold is currently at $1,172.90 (+0.09%) an ounce. This traditional safe-haven asset is unusually calm considering the ongoing problems surrounding Greece and thus the euro zone. Nevertheless analysts said that U.S. demand for physical gold advanced in the recent weeks. Terry Hanlon, president of Dillon Gage Metals, a wholesale precious metals trader in Dallas, said he had seen volumes rise by 70% in June from May. Prices have not reflected these increases as futures speculation is not synchronized with trades of physical gold.

U.S. stock indices rebounded on Tuesday despite tensions in Europe. Some investors are still hoping for a last-minute deal that would help Greece pay its debts and stay in the single currency area. U.S. companies have limited exposure to Greece, however there's some uncertainty about the way Europe would be affected if Greece leaves the euro zone.

Yesterday's consumer confidence report supported U.S. stocks as the corresponding index rose to 101.4 in June vs 97.2 expected and 94.6 previous.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 50.32 points, or 0.29%, to 17,646.67. The Standard & Poor's 500 gained 9.44 points, or 0.46%, to 2,067.08 (8 out of its 10 major sectors advanced) and the Nasdaq Composite added 35.06 points, or 0.71%, to 4,993.53.

This morning in Asia Shanghai Composite Index declined by 1.21%, or 51.86 points, to 4,225.36. Meanwhile the Nikkei gained 0.31%, or 63.21 points, to 20,298.94. Hong Kong markets are on holiday.

Asian stocks mostly rebounded after recent sharp declines. This morning the latest Markit survey of Japanese manufacturers showed that economic activity in the sector expanded. Meanwhile Chinese data were mixed: industrial activity remained sluggish (49.4 vs 49.2 prev.), but the services sector picked up in June (53.8 vs 53.2 prev.). Chinese stocks volatility is still high.

The euro slid on Wednesday morning after Greece had missed the deadline of its €1.6 billion debt payment to the IMF on Tuesday. However there's still some uncertainty as at the last moment Greece asked for an emergency repayment extension and the IMF said it would consider it in due course.
Today European finance ministers will meet to discuss Greek PM Alexis Tsipras' request for a new two-year loan to pay debts, which are slightly below €30 billion euros.

The Australian dollar advanced against the U.S. dollar after positive data from Australia and China. Today the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that building permits rose by seasonally adjusted 2.4% in May after a 5.2% contraction in April. Meanwhile China Non-Manufacturing PMI rose to 53.8 in June from 53.2 reported previously. China is Australia's largest trading partner.
