Reactions to Greece missing an IMF payment on Tuesday were relatively muted with the market beginning to discount the impact of the crisis. Alan Skrainka from Cornerstone Wealth Management summed up the situation succinctly, stating that the Greek economy is relatively small and “a default offers very little risk for the global economy or for the rest of Europe.”

Other important news during the week included the release of lacklustre Non-Farm Payrolls data and falls in the Chinese equity markets.
