No deal for Greece means uncertainty, which means a lower EURUSD. So every day of delay will tend to push the euro lower. Also, I suspect the longer the deal for Greece is delayed, the more obvious it becomes Portugal and Ireland want a deal and a better one than Greece is getting. The Euro [...]

Germany's Problem: All Roads lead to Pain for Germany
