MARKETWATCH 1:01 PM ET 6/30/2015

German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday said Germany was unwilling to talk with Athens about a new bailout program ahead of a July 5 Greek referendum, Reuters reported (https://en-maktoob.news.yahoo.com/merkel-says-germany-wont- negotiate-deal-greece-referendum-164357005--business.html). "Before a referendum, as planned, is carried out, we won't negotiate anything new at all," she said. Greece on Tuesday proposed in a last-ditch effort to reach a deal before the expiration of its current program at the end of the day. Merkel indicated it was too late to vet a proposal, blaming the Greek government for allowing the current program to expire, the report said.
