    European stocks close: stocks closed mixed as debt talks between Greece and its creditors ended without a deal

    Stock indices closed mixed as debt talks between Greece and its creditors ended without a deal. Next Eurogroup's meeting is scheduled to be on Saturday.

    European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said on Thursday that officials will "work until the last minute, second, millisecond so that the euro project does not crash".

    Earlier, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said that he was confident that a compromise that will help the Eurozone and Greece to overcome the crisis will be reached. He added that he thinks the current proposal is a "good basis" for a deal.

    Meanwhile, the economic data from the Eurozone was soft. German Gfk consumer confidence index fell to 10.1 in July from 10.2 in June. Analysts had expected the index to remain unchanged at 10.2.

    The decrease was driven by declines in economic expectations and the willingness to buy. The previously unsuccessful attempts to find a solution to the debt crisis in Greece and a possible Greek default also weighed on the index.

    The Confederation of British Industry released its retail sales balance data on Thursday. The CBI retail sales balance dropped to +29% in June from +51% in May.

    The decline was driven by a drop in grocery sales as the supermarket price wars continue.

    Sales expectations for next month eased.

    U.S. preliminary services purchasing managers' index declines to 54.8 in June

    Markit Economics released its preliminary services purchasing managers' index (PMI) for the U.S. on Thursday. The U.S. preliminary services purchasing managers' index (PMI) declined to 54.8 in June from 56.2 in May, missing expectations for an increase to 56.7.

    A reading above 50 indicates expansion in economic activity.

    The decline was driven by a decrease in new business growth and hiring. The preliminary new business index declined to 55.0 in June from 55.7 in May.

    "A slowdown in the economy at the end of the second quarter may mean the Fed takes a further pause for thought before hiking interest rates. The latest flash PMI surveys showed the smallest rise in service sector activity since January and the slowest growth of factory output for over a year and a half, linked to the strong dollar," Markit Chief Economist Chris Williamson.

    Swiss National Bank President Thomas Jordan: the Swiss franc remains “significantly overvalued”

    The Swiss National Bank (SNB) President Thomas Jordan said in Lausanne on Thursday that the Swiss franc remains "significantly overvalued". He added that the strength of the Swiss currency is a reflection of global crisis.

    Jordan pointed out that the decision to remove the minimum exchange rate was driven by "the growing divergence between the monetary policy stances of the world's main currency blocks". If waited longer to remove the minimum exchange rate, the central would have lost control of its monetary policy, and it would have removed the minimum exchange rate later "under much less favourable conditions".

    The SNB president noted that the Swiss economic outlook depends on global economic developments. The SNB expects the Swiss economy to pick up in the second half of the year.

    Jordan said that that a deflationary spiral is not expected despite price declines.

    CBI retail sales balance drops to +29% in June

    The Confederation of British Industry released its retail sales balance data on Thursday. The CBI retail sales balance dropped to +29% in June from +51% in May.

    The decline was driven by a drop in grocery sales as the supermarket price wars continue.

    Sales expectations for next month eased.

    CBI Distributive Trades Survey Chairman and Asda's Chief Customer Officer, Barry Williams, said that retailers hope to purchase more in the summer months.

    "Low inflation - expected to stay below 1% throughout this year - has given customers more discretionary income. The power of the pound in their pocket is going further and shoppers are spending more on treats, like flowers and jewellery, as well as on activities with their families," he added.

    Consumer spending makes more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity.

    The euro traded mixed against the U.S. dollar on the uncertainty over the debt talks between Greece and its creditors. Yesterday's debt talks between Greece and its creditors ended without any results. Greece rejected on Wednesday a "counter proposal" from its international creditors, according a government source.

    European stock markets mid session: stocks traded mixed on the uncertainty over the debt talks between Greece and its creditors

    Stock indices traded mixed on the uncertainty over the debt talks between Greece and its creditors. Yesterday's debt talks between Greece and its creditors ended without any results. Greece rejected on Wednesday a "counter proposal" from its international creditors, according a government source. There are still differences.

    "Unfortunately we have not reached an agreement yet, but we are determined to continue work," the head of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem said.

    Athens and its lenders failed to reach a deal on tax, pension reform and VAT.

    Athens have to repay €1.6 billion IMF loans by June 30.

    Meanwhile, the economic data from the Eurozone was soft. German Gfk consumer confidence index fell to 10.1 in July from 10.2 in June. Analysts had expected the index to remain unchanged at 10.2.

    The decrease was driven by declines in economic expectations and the willingness to buy. The previously unsuccessful attempts to find a solution to the debt crisis in Greece and a possible Greek default also weighed on the index.

    Current figures:

    Name Price Change Change %

    FTSE 100 6,845.87 +1.07 +0.02 %

    DAX 11,452.96 -18.30 -0.16 %

    CAC 40 5,034.24 -11.11 -0.22 %

    On a yearly basis, producer price inflation in Spain fell 1.4% in May, after a 0.9% decline in April. Producer prices have been declining since July 2014.

    German Gfk consumer confidence index declines to 10.1 in July

    Market research group GfK released its consumer confidence index for Germany on Thursday. German Gfk consumer confidence index fell to 10.1 in July from 10.2 in June.

    Analysts had expected the index to remain unchanged at 10.2.

    The decrease was driven by declines in economic expectations and the willingness to buy. The previously unsuccessful attempts to find a solution to the debt crisis in Greece and a possible Greek default also weighed on the index.

    The economic expectations index plunged to 13.4 points in July to 24.9 in June, while the willingness to buy index fell 5.6 points to 57.0.

    The income expectations index climbed by 5.2 points in June and is now at 57.2.

    "Despite the dampened climate, private spending remains a pillar of economic growth for Germany. However, the latest development also shows that the consumer climate is exposed to risks from international crises. The struggle for a solution to Greece's debt crisis, which has recently escalated, making a default more and more likely, could cause the motor for consumption, which has been running at top speed, to stutter," Gfk noted.

    Debt talks between Greece and its creditors end without any results yesterday

    Debt talks between Greece and its creditors ended without any results yesterday.

    "Unfortunately we have not reached an agreement yet, but we are determined to continue work," the head of the Eurogroup Jeroen Dijsselbloem said.

    Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras met with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde and Dijsselbloem on Wednesday, ahead of the Eurogroup's meeting.

    Athens and its lenders failed to reach a deal on tax, pension reform and VAT.

    Greece plans to increase corporate tax rates to 29%, while the creditors want to set the upper limit to no more than 28%.

    Athens have to repay €1.6 billion IMF loans by June 30.

    Federal Reserve Vice Chair Stanley Fischer: the Fed plans to adapt the stress-testing framework for three international systemically important insurance companies

    Federal Reserve Vice Chair Stanley Fischer said in Stockholm on Wednesday that the Fed plans to adapt the stress-testing framework for three international systemically important insurance companies that it regulates.

    "While distress at these firms poses risks to financial stability, particularly during a stressful period, certain sources of risk to these firms are distinct from the risks banking organizations face," he said.

    Fischer said nothing about the Fed's monetary policy.

    German thin tank DIW downgrades its economic growth forecast for 2015 for Germany

    The German thin tank DIW downgraded its economic growth forecast for Germany on Wednesday. The economy is expected to expand at 1.5% in 2015, down from the previous forecast of 2.2%. The downward revision was driven by the weak industrial production at the beginning of the year.

    The German economic growth in 2016 is expected to 1.9%.

    "The German economy looks stronger at the moment than it actually is," DIW President Marcel Fratzscher said.

    He also said that a Greek exit from the Eurozone is an "enormous" risk to corporate investment in Germany.

    Oil: digesting U.S. crude inventories data

    West Texas Intermediate futures for August delivery slid to $60.13 (-0.23%), while Brent crude for August slightly declined to $63.44 (-0.08%) a barrel amid mixed data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

    On one hand U.S. commercial crude-oil supplies in the week ended June 19 fell more than analysts had expected (-4.9 million barrels vs -1.8 million barrels expected). This was the eighth straight decline. On the other hand stockpiles remained above average levels. U.S. gasoline stocks climbed 680,000 barrels to 218.49 million and weighed on crude prices, which had initially advanced amid the greater-than-expected drop in supplies. Earlier analysts expected a decline in gasoline stockpiles.

    Gold is slightly higher amid ongoing concerns over Greece

    Gold is currently at $1,176.40 (+0.30%) an ounce. The safe-haven metal advanced after optimism about Greek deal contracted as creditors handed Greece's officials a revised set of proposals.

    Physical demand in Asia is weak partly due to seasonal factors and further declines in prices will be needed to revive it.

    In an attempt to give China more influence over the pricing of the precious metal, the Shanghai Gold Exchange plans to launch a yuan-denominated gold fix by the end of 2015. "The aim is to provide a more diversified benchmark pricing to the industry," Shen Gang, vice president of the Shanghai Gold Exchange, said.
