[*] Live Greece debt crisis: Eurozone breaks off talks until the referendum

Latest update 1m ago

Some highlights from Yanis Varoufakis’s appearance on ERT TV tonight: He has said the Greek people can give its creditors a clear message on Sunday, and that he then hopes to resume talks about a ‘sustainable solution’ on Monday. Varoufakis also denied that Greece could leave the euro - despite several European powers saying that’s exactly what’s at stake...... Greek twitter users are tweeting the key points: varoufakis says greece said no because the reform package wasn't sustainable. — Diane S

Latest update 23m ago

Instead of dealing a killer blow to the Greek banks tonight, the ECB has simply left them in limbo. They still can’t reopen until the ELA limit is raised, and Mario Draghi is highly unlikely to do that before Sunday’s referendum. That said keeping ELA limit same makes little practical diff now. #Greece banks can only reopen fully once raised to offset deposit outflows. — Raoul Ruparel (@RaoulRuparel) July 1, 2015

Latest update 25m ago

It also appears that the European Central Bank has resisted imposing higher haircuts on the assets Greek banks hand over in return for emergency funds. No cuts on collateral of #Greek banks decided ECB tonight reports @pitrofos4 @skaigr. — Eleni Varvitsiotis (@Elbarbie) July 1, 2015

Latest update 33m ago

Sources suggest #ECB keeps its #Greece ELA limit unchanged at EUR 88.6bln...no mention yet of any possible haircut to Greek collateral. — RANsquawk (@RANsquawk) July 1, 2015
