IMF pushing Greece towards crisis - WikiLeaks

Greek issue made a comeback on the wires over the weekend after WikiLeaks revealed IMF is trying to push the nation towards a crisis from where a deal could be forced. However, IMF head Lagarde called the leak as “simple nonsense”.

For now the Greek news has not rattled markets, but may strengthen safe haven demand for Gold if the matter worsens. The data docket in the US is empty, hence technical traders may have a more say today.
