Greek incompetence helps undermine EURUSD rally
It's hard to be a euro trader right now. One minute there's positivity from the weekend on hopes for a deal and the next the sellers come wading in to say "not so fast"

There's been no direct headline that's sunk the euro from 1.1400 to 1.1312 but stories like the wrong documents being sent reminds the market that there's a way to go yet, and underlines that traders don't want to leave too much skin in the game, particularly when they are in a profitable position
