even the chinese markets is up light 2.7% which was not the picture an hour ago. those markets were negative territory during the day. we've seen it taking perfect -- further action. today, in terms of markets the greek story is still very much in the minds of investors. axel, formerly of the boom is bank, -- bundesbank will be joining us here on bloomberg a little bit later during programming. he will have much to say about the ecb, whether that is qe or freezing of emergency liquidity program. let's get more on the greek story from guy in athens. what did prime minister alexis tsipras say about pro-government rallies in frankfurt?
2:03 am
let's go to you on what he has been saying. guy: i am sure what is being said in athens will be heard in frankfurt. let's first talk about what we heard last night. he was climbing everybody but his own government. he was making it very clear this referendum we are expecting on sunday is not a referendum on in or out of the eurozone. listen to what he had to say by the very subject. >> they will not kick us out of the eurozone. let me explain why -- the cost is immense. the economic cost, the financial burden if the eurozone is this mental because of -- dismantled because of a country in default -- often to the european bank with great amount is immense.
2:04 am
guy: that is not what we're hearing from angela merkel. they are saying effectively this is the relationship -- are we going to change it or not? that is what the vote on sunday is about. he was really making it clear the banks have closed because the institutions have not offered him his -- expansion. -- expansion. blaming everybody else but the government. guy: what about the prospect of a the imf the money that is due? what is the latest on whether greece will make payment? guy: we don't have a confirmation. lots of people are talking about it. the payment is not going to be made. we don't have a confirmation of that from athens. we will wait and see the expectation but it will not be made.
2:05 am
the invocations of that are quite significant. we have a great he's out this morning talking about the idea that the one voice we have not heard from is from the ecb and that probably is the critical voice we need to hear from so that is the story at the moment. two unexpected payment. we will find out later but i suspect there will be a lot of noise between now and then whether or not will be made or not. anna: thank you. let's go to paul. what is the latest indication from the ecb on what it plans to do today? paul: it will be watching very closely. guy notes we don't know whether the ecb will determine it as a default. it does not have to they just have to wait and see whether everybody else says that and reacts accordingly -- we don't know what it will be but it will be something that will happen. when policymakers meet tomorrow in frankfurt to review the liquidity assistance.
2:06 am
they can keep it going even as a missed payment in if they believe the banks are still solid or deemed them to be. another issue is what happens with the great government. they are paying money to their own central bank which is quite serious because it is not -- that is what we have to look at. as for what happens after the next couple of days, intriguing comments from these second of board member last night -- executive board member last night, the referendum is often the a majority for a political deal if the greek people decide to vote in favor of the proposal which was incomplete -- it has room to keep it in the euro but he said he can no longer rollout the belief. anna: thank you. guy johnson on the ground as well.
2:07 am
that brings us to the question -- how should greece vote on july 5? it seems like the prime minister are a different pages after what is being asked in this referendum. you can find us on twitter. is this about the future of greece in the eurozone or the specifics on what is on the table for the creditors? you have the say. let's get -- gabriel stein is still with us. we were talking up the impact on everyday greece whichever the way it will go. what are your sources when it comes to the currency?> is this a near-term possibility? gabriel: we just heard that -- we know that it is 60 euros a day.
2:08 am
pensioners can get 120 euros per week so they can get two days worth of money per week. greece is not the country where the use of credit cards is widespread as it is in britain or the united states. we are talking about close to very much of cash economy and that means there is will be a crash -- cash crunch. if the raiders, there will be an issue of negotiating ious either issued privately. i know i have 500 euros in my account i give you and i are you for that and you use that to pay your grocery whatever it is, or a government issued script. the key with that is will the government if it is prolonged, will the government allow you to pay your taxes with scripts? if they do that, it is a new currency for sure. anna: it is the means the government is essentially introducing another currency.

gabriel: it is a fancy word for saying there will be other bits and pieces. and says something like this is equivalent to the euro ir once capital controls are lifted, or six month after, you can swap it. will it hold its value? almost certainly not. anna: you have done a lot of work on the experience of cyprus. you would others have pointed out the big differences between cyprus and greece in this regard. how long will capital control have to be replacing greece-based on our experience? gabriel: in cyprus, they lost it for a couple of years to a government that was firmly committed to doing everything it was told with population that wants pass initial stages was
2:10 am
supportive of that. you have it in place and greece compared to iceland. capital controlled again. in order to lift the capital controls, you need people to believe that there is no need to rush in the banking system. there is no need to richer all your money and send it to broad. i cannot see that being the case in greece were a couple of years , easily more than two years. i could be wrong. it could be something happens -- there will be clarity or the creeks will leave the euro. anna: what about a yes vote in the weekend or we are back here increasing the amount of money's? gabriel: they would have to make a commitment saying halloween the yes vote which -- following the yes vote we promise to
2:11 am
provide all the funds necessary -- probably saying -- believe me it will be enough to stop the greek banks, around the greek banks, that might work. anna: that will be the substantial intervention by standards. gabriel, thank you. coming up later in the day, a lot of data out. u.k. gbp, the first quarter at 9:30 a.m. later on, the eurozone in employment which will be out. first, coming up, another deadline looms but this time for nuclear deal with iran. will there be enough time? what will happen with the deadline? we will have more. ♪

anna: welcome back. here of the stories need to know this morning. a deal restricting iran's nuclear to these would not be restricted today. however, u.s. and european officials say progress is being made due to a comprehensive agreement. china's central bank is making further actions to loosen monetary policy. $5.6 billion into the market system and lowered the lending rate. that comes as the weekend failed to stop the biggest rout which has stopped more than 20% of the index. the battle lines over greece has hardened as the country into the second day of capital controls
2:16 am
on the deadline is 1.5 billion euro. the prime minister said his country will not be thrown a of the euro because the cause would be "immense." his comments came as 12,000 people gathered in central athens to support his call to reject credit conditions for new bailout deal. some banks will open today for pension withdrawals and limited to 120 euros pre-week. let's go back to the iran. story. the final stretch -- the islamic republic and raw power seven till the end of today to do with deal -- the deadline will be missed probably. >> massive talks bring a dramatic venue. that sums up the negotiations that has been brought up three months ago. as the deadline for a long summer payment approaches there'll be more same. the once crippling economic
2:17 am
sanctions was a a deal to the greatest of the capacity. they can only happen once expected is from the international atomic energy agency knows that iran is giving his word. to do that, they will need free reign to rome the facilities. and access to any other places of interest. some leaders and politicians say military will be off-limits something world powers will be a dealbreaker. the watchdogs will be asked to approach military dimensions enrichment work, something u.s. secretary of state john kerry downplayed earlier this month. if a deal is done, congress would have 30 days review it. this will be subject to delays almost two years of talks. never once have they met their deadlines. on midnight june 30, it becomes that i do feel --
2:18 am
anna: let's get more with ryan. another deadline coincidently also today and i met payment but this is a self-imposed deadline. rytaan: this deadline is dead and the new deadline might be july 7. the idea being that negotiators think they are close enough to a deal they can actually get one of within a couple of days. if they want -- in the obama administration want to deal in vienna and want to take it back to the congress, it would be great to have that by the seventh so they can have it through congress before holiday. there was on a impetus. we have the president's brother joining the iranian foreign minister. we have the head of the atomic energy agency and the iranian foreign minister. that is where he went on sunday this reason that -- because
2:19 am
we're still have obstacles outlined by the screen leader of iran and that is one, access to the sensitive sites he says he does not wanting unconventional. two exactly how quickly we will get sanctioned relieved. the leader wants quick. negotiators, the world powers some are saying it has to be staged and they say privately that has been agreed to in any case. there is a lot of hope this point but it will not be today. anna: the oil price? ryan: is the going down for the last five days. part of that is eitheriran . iran exports one billion barrels a day at right now. greece is also a factor in the concern with greece is is the
2:20 am
demand picture and that is one of things if you listen to ipec carefully they haven't bullish about is the demand picture going to remain as robust as it was if greece does go belly up and there is contagion within europe? but, generally speaking, the concern is mostly about that -- you look at the united states and the inventories. they have come down to about 30 million barrels we have about 493 million barrels a lisa go and we're down to 463. we will get new numbers tomorrow that tells about last week and the expectation is it will reduce still more but we are still well above the five-year average and that his wife you look at the hedge funds, they are still bullish but they have the least amount of bullish bets that suggest the price will be go up in three months. anna: thank youm. gabriel, how does this go into the feds mind is? as well/
2:21 am
? gabriel: the question is irania n oil, will that stop the fed from raising interest rates? it will not. they will still raise rates not once, but twice this year was remains on the forecast. anna: twice this year. gabriel: because they will look beyond the temporary downward pressure of prices that increased exports will produce. this is partly also -- it goes back to the whole different -- are we a secular nation or just a balanced sheet recession? in my view the first view, it is the latter not the former which means you have to normalize interest rates, but if you cannot when the economy is doing well where on earth are you going to do? anna: even if inflation is low? gabriael: that is perceived to be
2:22 am
a temporary answer because it is not relevant as was said. it isn't not what inflation is doing what matters, it is what inflation will do in two years or what the fed believes it will do. there they think it will head back towards the targets. anna: some final thoughts on greece -- read tweeting today -- declaring how he would vote in a greek referendum. he suggested he would be in the no camp. which party do you think greece will choose? gabriel: you are putting me on the spot. chris comes the shelves come i think the greece will -- greece will vote no andd i do think that it is the beginning -- i
2:23 am
think it is also the beginning of the process which ultimately will make the euro survive mainly if he gets rid of all the europeans. anna: thank you so much for spending your time with us. get real-time. -- gabriel stein. let's get more on the great story -- hans nichols is standing by. how is greece's default and to the imf being received? hans: there is a view they can cordon off the contagion which is what it was being told to lawmakers yesterday. the finance ministers said something similar in france. he does not see much of an impact on the greece situation on the greek banks. in germany, isn't it anger. yesterday the public broadcaster was told the greek
2:24 am
government behavior has been beyond belief. it will not be able to destroy europe. he went on to emphasize it will remain of the important part of europe and it was up to the greek government to quickly find a way to the secured the future. a key merkel ally is talking about the debt will still have to be retained. a lot of that is about 30 years out so when they released the budget tomorrow, it is unlikely they will have to resign -- reconcile it in the budget. the idea they had to pay this money is becoming clear. the total exposure for germany -- france is about $42 billion and in it is $39 billion. one other emerging cross is coming up. that is we have heard the idea that europe can be stronger if greece exit, you will have rules
2:25 am
that mean something and you can have the european union that emerges in a better position. that is the european union without greece. anna? anna: thank you very much, hans nichols, from berlin. how should greece vote on july 5? in the guardian, an economist talking about how he will vote. he would be in the no camp. it would bring about the oppression. no would be a more hopeful feature, destiny in the hands of the greek people. he is on the side of the greek government. they have intuitively the article this morning. we have live shots of athens this morning. we have the assembly lines outside, as we had yesterday in. people trying to get their 60 euros a day out of the banks. if you don't have access to that
2:26 am
machines, are they able to go inside? later today some have been opened. 120 euros per week. not for allocation of 60 euros per day. we will see what that brings when the banks to open up. the intention being getting it in their hands. in terms of where we are in the markets, happen our away from the european equity trading day we have the european market heavily in the red yesterday. asian markets trading in positive territory were now. a pretty decent session. some of the chinese markets turning things around towards the end. we had the song high -- ai constant -- shanghai concert up -- composition up. we will be right back as there is $1.7 billion that payment. more on that conversation when we come back. ♪

anna: welcome back. just 7:30 here in london. time to check in on the european equity markets. another day of weakness at least at the start of the trading day. perhaps the euro stocks cooled down but the ftse 100 looks to be starting about half a percent down. the dax also looks to be under pressure. that follows something of a bounce that we saw in the asian session but some of those gains we made earlier are coming off a little bit.
2:31 am
not the drastic losses that we saw yesterday by any means. the asian hand over it was fairly smooth but rings are not looking fairly -- terribly positive. let's talk about what is happening in the bond market situation. just enough to tell you that things are not moving again as much as they were yesterday. little bit higher in the 10 year yield and the italian bond but not by a great deal. the tenure german bund moving a little bit lower. a little bit of that risk aversion trade we saw yesterday. 7:31 in london and these are the stories you need to know this morning. china's central bank has taken looser action to ease monetary policy. they've lowered the lending rate on the funding. that comes after that interest rate cut on the weekend fails to stop the biggest route and chinese stock since 1996 that

have white more than 20% off of the shanghai composite index since june 12. apple's music streaming service debuts today. it will offer users access to 30 million songs and offers -- goes head-to-head with spotify and pandora. the battle over greece's future has hardened as the country enters its second day of capital controls and that deadline for a debt repayment looms. prime minister alexis tsipras says his country will not be thrown out because the cost would be immense. his comments in it television interview came as 12,000 people gathered in athens to support his cause. some banks will open today. those are limited to 120 euros per week. let's stay with the greek story but get the view from brussels.
2:33 am
janice hagan is there. the chinese premier paid brussels a visit and he had a lot to say about greece. it is interesting because a lot of people are looking to the chinese and wondering what interest they might have. >> they have a lot of interest in greek and europe in general. they are big holders of european bonds and the prime minister who was here for the summit yesterday made it clear that he wants greece to stay in the euro. he said that is the best thing from his point of view and he urged european negotiators to get back to the table and come to a deal. even before the referendum. anna: if the greek people do vote yes, would that be considered a request for an extension? guest: that is the way that it would look.
2:34 am
it is not automatic but it would certainly say that the greek people want mr. tsipras administration to go back to the negotiating table and finish the deal. this is the deal the commission put on the table last friday trying to come to some kind of compromise. but mr. tsipras walked away from the table and that has led to all of the capital controls. if the greek people were to say yes that would reinvigorate the talks. the problem is that the program is due to inspire today. it is unclear what the legality of the proposals art once the program excel -- itself expires at midnight tonight. that is still something that needs to be worked out. anna: it is been a wild ride for chinese stocks and the shanghai
2:35 am
composite is down 24%. when will the market bottom out? how is the situation in greece playing out? some interesting crosswinds coming into the session. that would be the greek story but this is day to -- two. continuing action from the central bank in china. >> absolutely and that continuing action from the central bank failed to contain the stock market but look today what is happening. a four percent advance right now. 1.35% advance for the hang seng. we started the day firmly lower with greece waiting on the minds of investors but across the asia-pacific today stocks are advancing. part of this is optimism that some sort of last-minute deal will be reached. and china.
2:36 am
the most volatile stock market in the world after greece. yesterday seeing the steepest drop since 1996. nevertheless, the chinese authority feels poised to do what they can. that includes restriction to financing. it led to intense the selling pressure yesterday and this morning and the central bank has indicated that it will take additional action. you may have them allowing insurers to buy shares among other measures. the chinese stock market declines and they don't seem to wait too much on investors overall but for now it is a day of stocks advancing for the msci asia-pacific. it is a volatile market and we note that things can swing the opposite direction. anna: thank you very much.
2:37 am
we are minutes away from the start of european equity trading. joining us now is the head of the european investment office. thank you for coming in to talk to us. i know that you at ubs put the chances of a grexit at 40% a little while ago and that was before the weekend. where do you stand now? anna: -- guest: closer to 40%. anna: is that quite conservative? guest: you have to make the call. is it best case that greek would leave the euro or not? we are still less than a 50% chance of greece leaving the euro. 40% there about. -- thereabouts. anna: how is this being received by your clients in terms of your investment strategy. are you looking for the
2:38 am
referendum? are you looking for big changes as a result? guest: clearly the fact that it has taken so long to get to this point has created a lot of uncertainty. we thought there was a reasonable probability of a referendum because it was a way for the government to get out of the corner. they have to which back and have a haircut on the debt so how do you get that out of that situation knowing you will never achieve the process. we thought it might come earlier so that there was time within the program and the imf payment and everything else but that has taken longer and now it is creating a lot of hostility. the best case is that greek people will come back with a yes for the program and that would open the opportunity for a deal
2:39 am
and greece remains within the euro. but clearly it is a very unstable situation. anna: asian equity markets are bouncing today. that is an incredibly big number but it is not a lehman moment. is that because it won't become a lehman moment or because we have factored in a grexit? guest: i think the first is a more valid point. it will not be a lehman moment. if you look at europe today and where europe was four years ago it is totally different. the economy is growing. and in the u.s.. china is slowing down but the central bank is doing a lot to monitor that and the ecb has a lot of tools to monitor the situation. there are a lot of tools to make sure there is no contagion to
2:40 am
the peripherals. it is very unlikely at this stage that we will have a lehman moment. anna: a lot of work, the outright monetary transactions. the ability for the ecb to directly purchase government bonds. talk us through how that would make a difference? they could use that on peripheral bonds. guest: usually the way that the market put pressure on government is by refusing to lend money and then the spreads widen. then the country finds it difficult to refinance themselves. if the ecb can buy government bonds for this country, it would put a cap on borrowing costs and that is the longer an issue. anna: how does this factor in right now? you must be very mindful.
2:41 am
the imf recently called on the fed not to raise rates. slowing china and greek talks progressing and now they have fallen apart and we find ourselves in this situation. guest: dudley was in the press overnight saying they are watching the greek situation as well. the fed is clearly talking to the ecb and if the greek situation becomes an economic issue then the fed is likely to delay hiking. dudley was saying that september or december. the door is open for a delay if the global economic outlook looks different. it is amazing how big central banks have been playing over the last three years.
2:42 am
we are the fed and the ecb and the bank of china playing a big role in monitoring uncertainty and volatility. anna: thank you for joining us. the head of the european investment office. greeks are lining up to withdraw euros. one of the central locations in greece, the greek flag flying. they troll -- day two of capital controls. we will be back later on in the show. ♪

tension here in greece and at the rally, the atmosphere was more akin to what you would expect to find in a field in a music festival. very convivial. greeks of all shapes and sizes and some ring children as well. there are very serious issue that stake here and many of which are referred to in greek newspapers this morning. this is a headline next to jean-claude juncker saying it does not exclude the possibility of reintroducing the drachma. a has a picture of an exhausted old lady talking about desperation at atm's and at the bottom saying like the chorus from an ancient greek tragedy. talking about anxiety over pensions. that is the big concern and why

2:51 am
guest: we think so. if you look at china the economy is slowing down which is on one side a good thing. china is a big economy and the only way they can continue to grow like that is through heavy investment. but at the same time you need to monitor that without collapse and i think the chinese authorities have been quite effective in doing that. obviously the market sometimes goes from one side to the next. initially they thought the chinese authorities had done a great job. another had started to worry whether the ecb will be as effective as they thought. so some volatility is not unusual. anna: the shanghai composite possibly heading for the biggest gains the since 2009.

what is your overall perspective? we try to do just minute by minute. the latest news. you are urging your clients to step back and take a long-term view. guest: you have to learn not to be drawn by. headlines and invest accordingly there it -- accordingly. the right way is to invest for the long term. volatility can sometimes create opportunities but you should not use that as your basis for investment. invest for the long-term and volatility use that to step up or shave off your investments. if i look around the world we are still positive. the u.s. is growing, the u.k. is growing and europe is growing so we have a pretty healthy outlook. anna: on a personal note, you are from cyprus. do you look at what is happening in greece and see that there are
2:53 am
things to be learned from the example? guest: in cyprus, the solution was quick. cyprus had the same niche negotiations and it got to a point where the europeans gave them an effective deadline and then they posted capital controls but the population was very much in favor of the measures because they wanted to stay within the euro and they realized they had to be some sacrifices to stay within the euro. in greece you have a different government that is a lot more against the measures and in some ways, we have to remember where greece is coming from. the economy is down 25%. i have some sympathy with the greeks being worried where you go from here. there are some differences and similarities. anna: significant differences between the two. thank you very much.
