Euro Strong on Greek Optimism, Further Strength Ahead The financial markets were rocked by the surprised result of the bailout referendum in Greece and stock market crash in China for the earlier part of last week. Yen surged sharply on risk aversion but pared back much gains after markets stabilized.

Meanwhile, the Chinese stock markets also staged a strong rebound on Thursday and Friday on the government's rescue measures. Nonetheless, the Australian dollar extended the medium term down trend and ended as the weakest major currency on deteriorating outlook of its main trading partner China.
