Greece edges towards a debt deal; IMF lowers demands
Greece may soon breathe a sigh of relief, as a deal with the Troika looks closer, according to Greek-based paper ekathimeini, citing Finance Minister Yannis Stournaras who suggests only 10 billion euros stand in the way of a deal.From ekathimeini: "Sources said that another 8 to 10 billion euros was needed to meet the target." the Greek paper also reports that "the IMF has accepted that Greek debt will not meet its target of 120 percent of GDP in 2020 and is willing for this to change to 124 percent in the same year."
German Chancellor Angela Merckel said after the meeting she doubts an agreement will be reached on EU budget this week, and will likely need another few sessions of negotiations. She added positions are too far apart for now. Meanwhile, according to an official statement by the European Council, Yves Mersch has been appointed to the executive board of the European Central Bank for a term of eight years as from 15 December. He will succeed José Manuel González-Páramo, who completed his term of office on 31 May.

Upwards scenario: We placed our next resistance level above the yesterday high at 1.2899 (R1). If the market manages to overcome it, next resistance in focus would be 1.2917 (R2) and any further rise would then be targeting 1.2935 (R3).Downwards scenario: The pair continues to extend its strengthening on the medium- term perspective, however a breach of our next support level at 1.2868 (S1) might trigger downside formation towards to our next targets at 1.2851 (S2) and 1.2839 (S3).
