“Stocks faded in the final hour of trading Tuesday to finish lower after a transcript from the Greek meeting showed deposits leaving the banking system, fueling speculation that the nation might leave the euro zone.
The S&P 500 closed at 3-month lows, while the Dow logged its ninth loss in the last 10 sessions.
According to the transcript, Greek depositors recently withdrew 700 million euros from the nation’s local banks, said President Karolos Papoulias, though the exact timing of the transfer was unclear.”
Not Surprise, since the Greeks voted for socialism.
