Greece threatens to opt out of next bailout payment without a debt deal - Bild

EUR/USD has made fresh lows in early Asia in very thin trade from holiday mode markets. EUR is at the lowest level since 19th May in a relatively quick 30 pip move to the downside.  There is some noise around Greece coming out of the German press, Bild. 

Bild came with the news but not citing sources saying that the Greek government is preparing to possibly go without next bailout payment (amount of EUR 7bn) if creditors cannot agree on debt relief.

Valeria Bednarik, chief analyst at FXStreet explained that the technical picture in the short term favors a downward extension, although it will remain corrective due to ongoing dollar's weakness unless the pair returns to territory sub-1.1000.
