Greece to deal or not to deal? - FXStreet

Key Quotes:
"At the beginning of the day, the common currency fell down to a fresh monthly low of 1.0818, as broad dollar strength dominated in a light-calendar journey, and concerns over the peripheral country, after the ECB was said to keep the Greek ELA ceiling unchanged at €80.2bn this week."
"But mid American session, headlines coming from Greece stating that the country and its creditors have started crafting a staff level accord, triggered a strong comeback up to 1.0910 in the EUR/USD."
"During the rest of the American afternoon, EU authorities have been pouring cold water over the news, saying that they are just starting to work on it and that a deal by June 5th is unlikely."
