The US markets closed in red on Monday, and the fall followed after a five-week advance for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, as Greek leaders wrestled with spending cuts to get aid and avert a default. The markets came under pressure at the opening after Greek leaders and international troika failed to meet the deadline for the debt restructuring and the conditions for the future bailouts. The leaders turned up the heat on Greek politicians to accept the conditions for another round of rescue funds needed to avoid a government default. In Athens, a meeting of Greek political leaders was postponed until Tuesday as they worked to devise a uniform reply. Besides, European leaders stepped up pressure on Greek politicians to accept the conditions for a 130 billion-euro ($171 billion) bailout, saying time was running out. China’s economic growth would be cut almost in half if Europe’s debt crisis worsens, the International Monetary Fund stated.
