Speculation is rife as the Eurogroup announces a much earlier than expected press conference. The exuberant expectations "priced in" to markets are fading fast as traders fear the short nature of the meeting combined with dysphoria from Schaeuble suggest no deal is close and new Greek proposals remain far from adequate for its European "partners." Local reports suggest this brings into doubt whether this evening's EU leaders' meeting will go ahead.
